Governor Maximiliano Pullaro attended the 18th Business Meeting of the Software Industry on Thursday. The event, held at the Ros Tower Hotel in Rosario, gathered over 300 technology sector representatives from across the nation under the theme "Innovative Intelligence as an Engine of Growth". The meeting was organized by the Chamber of the Argentine Software Industry (Cessi).
On the occasion, Pullaro welcomed those present "to the invincible province of Santa Fe. We are identified by our collective identity, of working people, which has to do with our DNA. That is why we are the most productive province in Argentina and we are located in the most productive region", and he specified that "we have around 7,000 companies and we understand that the only way our country can move forward is if it manages to generate economic growth and employment, and for this there has to be a natural articulation between the private sector and the public sector, but also to value the construction of knowledge: to give relevance to our universities, to the development of science and technology, because at this time it is the only way to take off and take advantage".
In this sense, he pointed out that "we have an opportunity, but we have to work hard to generate the development that each of our industries has and can carry out. We have wealth, human capital and that articulation with the Technological Pole that puts us in a different place as a province. We understand that this is the only way to push companies and industries to generate economic growth, because by putting knowledge, science and technology, our productive matrix will be strengthened".
Finally, Pullaro pointed out that "the State must accompany and look introspectively at what it can improve and grow, looking to the future and to the interior of the State so that these tools generate greater efficiency, effectiveness and provide better and more transparent services".
