27 Argentine companies and 5 start-ups to go to Mobile World Congress with previous preparation to attract investments

This year the local presence at the Barcelona event, which starts on February 27, is reinforced by the contribution of the Agencia Argentina de Inversiones y Comercio Internacional (AAICI) (Argentine Investment and International Trade Agency), which absorbed the functions of Fundación Exportar a year ago and has since then a training job with companies interested in being exhibitors. In particular, advise was given on the export of software and services, legal and tax provisions in the European market, and success cases. Juan Pablo Tripodi, vice president of International Trade at AAICI, told Convergencialatina that "the important thing in this and other fairs is to bring companies with real export potential, that is why they are trained in the export world, to become "Pymex", and We hope the first sales can be made there".

The Argentine pavilion at MWC will have 27 companies: Adverit, Cis Group Latinoamérica, Clinc Shop, Competir.com, Dekagb, DMC Wireless Systems, Dynamo Movil, Intextual, Intraway Corporation, Joker Mobile, Mapplics, Media Digital, Mediafund, Mobisoft, Nubicam, Ostic Group, Pizquiz Solutions, Prisett Media & Technologies, RedMas Argentina, Renxo, SmartMob, Soicos, The App Master, Udist, Unitec Blue, Vault Consulting and VNG.

"We want to set up working and discussion tables with entrepreneurs from other countries. It is already coordinated with Spain , but we plan to add tables with Holland, Greece and Hong Kong", added Tripodi.
