This state-of-the-art IT infrastructure, combined with very competitive costs, high Internet usage and a growing economy (Argentina's GDP grew almost 8% in 2003 and is forecast to rise 6% in 2004) set a promising stage for continued fast-growing technology development.

A panel of recognized business leaders will discuss the significant growth in IT exports over the last few years and opportunities for strategic alliances.
