Blue Economy Days, Argentina, Sept. 4-6
The inaugural Blue Economy Days in Argentina will take place September 4 to 6 in Puerto Madryn. It will also be available to stream.
The Industrial Chamber of Patagonia (CIMA), in partnership with the German/South American marine technology manufacturer Mariscope, will host the event to foster dialogue among stakeholders in the blue economy. Private enterprises, industry representatives, scientists, NGOs and government organizations are encouraged to participate.
Historically, Argentina has been primarily focused on industrial and agricultural activities, with only a few small industries and businesses connected to the ocean. Yet Argentina boasts one of the largest continental shelves in the world. Patagonia is renowned for its rich marine biodiversity, ecotourism opportunities, and its proximity to Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica.
With recent changes in Argentina’s political landscape, the country is regaining legal and economic stability, positioning itself as one of the most promising nations to do business in South America. The region is rich in energy resources, both onshore and offshore, as well as minerals, and has a robust agro-industrial sector. However, given the region’s unique ecological characteristics and sensitivity to environmental changes, it is crucial that industrial growth occurs in close collaboration with scientific research and a strong commitment to environmental stewardship.
The event will feature both international and national speakers who will provide insights into current and future developments, investment opportunities, political plans, projects, and funding options for small, medium, and large businesses.
