About Córdoba - Argentina

Córdoba: Cradle of Entrepreneurs, Hub of Exporters

Located in the geographic center of the Argentine Republic, Córdoba constitutes a strategic point for regional connections and the integration between member countries of the Common Market of the South (in Spanish, MERCOSUR).

Its rich natural resources, diversified production, consolidated industries with an established export history, available infrastructure, technological development, and large number of professionals and skilled workers make Córdoba the most important production hub in the interior of the country.

These possibilities endow the Córdoba companies with a strong advantage when it comes to engaging in foreign trade.
