The project coordinator of the Argentina Productiva 2030 program, Martin Alfieassured this Sunday that the productive sector has the capacity to be “region leader” in the development of technologies, electromobility and knowledge economy.
“Despite the crises that our country is dragging along and the abrupt changes in economic policies, the Argentine productive sector has the capacity to be the protagonist of the technologies or sectors of the future”Alfie said on his official Twitter social network account.
He also explained that in terms of sustainable mobility in Argentina, “Despite everything, it still has an important automotive industry”and specified that “The electromobility bill aims to generate incentives for investments.”
“The challenge is great, but we can be regional leaders,” said the official, who stated that “the biotech revolution is already underway.”.
In this regard, he noted that “many say it will be even more disruptive than technology”and pointed out that “Argentina has an outstanding production network, with a large number of companies and excellent human resources.”
In that sense, he remarked that “HB4 wheat and AstraZeneca vaccines are examples.”
With several fellow friends, we launched a space for discussion that we thought was missing in the public debate.
We want to debate: How to produce more? What productive policies are necessary? Which sectors to promote, and how? How to incorporate new agendas?

He also stressed that “the step towards decarbonization gives Argentina opportunities”, since he stressed that “it has resources for solar and wind generation but also the possibility of being a supplier of technology, such as windmills and small nuclear reactors”.
In addition, Alfie referred to industry 4.0 and expressed that “Several local businesses are beginning to adopt these productivity-enhancing solutions.”
“And there are interesting local cases to promote, such as Prodismo, which develops robotic assembly lines for the main automotive companies”said the official.
In short, Argentina is prepared to fight in the most dynamic sectors of the coming decades.
The permanent macroeconomic crises and the problems that we drag transmit pessimism, but we are a country with enormous capacities and potential to live better.– Martin A. (@alfiemart) April 24, 2022
Likewise, in relation to the knowledge economy, he referred that “there are more and more workers, companies (and unicorns) and exports”, and assured that “Today, it is the most dynamic sector we have”.
He also argued that “Clearly there are enormous challenges, such as the exchange rate gap and the brain drain”but stated that “Argentina plays first”.
“There are many other sectors with a great future in which we have opportunities and potential: the aerospace and satellite industry, healthy and sustainable food, electronic games (e-gaming), cannabis, telemedicine,” Alfie said, and argued that “our companies show it and workers who are born and grow despite everything”.
At your discretion are required “two things: a stable macroeconomy (neither more nor less) that allows these sectors to develop in more favorable conditions”and specified that the second is “an active and intelligent industrial policy and regulations that allow its growth, such as the law for the cannabis industry.”
“Argentina is prepared to fight in the most dynamic sectors of the coming decades”Alfie concluded.
The Productive Argentina Plan 2030, of the Ministry of Productive Development, involves an initiative that seeks to consolidate concrete improvements in the productive, industrial and technological development of the entire country in the short and medium term, creating, among its objectives, two million jobs formal wage earners in the private sector; more of 100,000 formal companies; reducing the environmental impact of productive activities; and reducing inequality by 2030.
In addition, It seeks to lift 9 million Argentines out of poverty for the period 2022-2030, thus reducing poverty by 1 million people per year.
It also aspires to reduce inequality by 2030 to the lowest levels in 50 years, lowering the Gini coefficient from 0.43 to 0.38.
On the other hand, it is proposed to increase the participation of women in formal employment in companies, with a minimum of 50% participation in the new jobs generated, and increase the participation of the Interior in the GDP and formal employment, with 70% of the new formal jobs located outside the AMBA.
