Argentina’s President inaugurates Aerospace Industry Congress

Buenos Aires, May 23 (Prensa Latina) Argentina’s President, Alberto Fernandez, on Tuesday stressed the importance of investing in scientific-technological development, as he was inaugurating the 6th Latin American Aerospace Industry Congress.

During his speech at the event, held at the Kirchner Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, Fernandez saw the great relevance for modern society to implement policies that guarantee access to knowledge and its use to advance in high-impact projects.

The head of State also insisted on the need to have their own technology to add value to primary production.

Fernandez highlighted the progress of a nuclear reactor developed by Argentinian scientists, and assured that the country is one of the few in the world to manufacture satellites putting them into orbit, something unthinkable 20 years ago.

Projects of this kind make us proud and place us in a privileged position worldwide. This is the nation we must not stop building, he pointed out.

Arranged by EUROCONSULT, a company specialized in market intelligence and space consultancy, the Congress will end tomorrow and counts with the participation of over 40 researchers who will present their experiences on Earth observation strategies, national satellite programs, broadband connectivity and new telecommunications services, among other issues.

This event is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and plan projects for the development of the sector in Latin America, and it was the first time to be held in Argentina.
