Promoting Catamarca's
investment opportunities in New York
| | |
The Consulate General and Promotion Center of Argentina in New York joined the governor of Catamarca, Raúl Jalil, and the vice-governor Rubén Dusso, during their work visit to New York on 14-15 April, in meetings with current and potential investors, as well as local firms advising companies with interests and presence in the mining and energy industry of the province.
The visit was a timely occasion to present the province’s investment opportunities, provide details on the economic-commercial plans and competitive advantages in a very auspicious local climate due to Argentina’s economic growth prospects.
Catamarca’s exports originate mainly in mining, accompanied by other chains such as olive and horticultural production, among others, with a smaller share in total exports. Catamarca is the leading producer of copper and lithium in the country. In ornamental rocks, it is the only producer of rhodochrosite, with a reserve that is unique in the world.
Governor Jalil was also the keynote speaker at a working breakfast meeting organized by the Council of the Americas/Americas Society, where he made a presentation to entrepreneurs, businessmen and local consultants linked to current or potential investments in the mining and energy industry and with special interest in learning about the provincial experience in the application of the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI).

Consular services:
Online Platform to schedule appointments
| | |
With the aim of providing an agile and increasingly innovative service that meets the needs of the Argentine community efficiently, the Consulate General team is currently finalizing, as a priority, the prompt implementation of an online appointment system for consular services.
Within the framework of other innovations and internal restructuring of the Consulate, this initiative seeks to expedite the granting of appointments to overcome the delay of the procedures that involve the intervention of RENAPER (DNI and Passports).
Once the system is implemented in the coming weeks, citizens requiring a consular service will be able to see the availability appointments in real time, including those recently canceled and available on the same day or in a very short period of time, which will make the system more efficient within the framework of the extremely high demand registered in procedures linked to RENAPER.
Given the high number of no-shows, Argentine citizens who have requested and confirmed an appointment are kindly requested to show up on the agreed day and time of such appointment or, failing that, let us know in advance so that we can assign it to another citizen and thus speed up the process.
| | Congratulations to the new Argentine citizens! | | Business and Networking Breakfasts Series | | |
We had another great dialogue with Argentine professionals from different sectors based in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut who shared their stories and experiences in the U.S. and with whom we explored ways to connect and make synergies in their ventures.
We will continue to hold our Business and Networking Breakfasts to meet our compatriotas, strengthen our relationships and help them network with each other. Argentina has very talented people, and when they get to know each other better, great things happen.
Our big thanks to Paula Merlino (Director of Telekids Pediatric; Shai Bejar (Industrial Engineer); Diego Goldstein (General Manager of Chimichurri restaurant); Carlos Barbagallo (CEO of Pampa Bay); Veronica Mijelshon (Artist, Designer and Architect); Barbara Arriola (lawyer); Valentina Berger, Broadway producer and educator; Marcelo Miranda (Director of Marketing Technology at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt); Horace Cavalero (Immigration lawyer); Sonia Abut (Fundación Santiago Abut); Daniel Abut (Banking and Finance sector specialist); Lis Arcos (CEO and founder of Lis Interior Design); Karina Romero (tango dancer) and Gimena Garmendia (founder of La Sudestada ).

"Modern echoes" by Luciana Levinton
The Consulate General of Argentina in New York presents
"Modern echoes", by Luciana Levinton
| | |
"In this exhibition of paintings, entitled 'Modern Echoes' inspirations arise from a research on the current of modern and contemporary architecture and design, the Delfina and Amancio Williams' House on the Stream in Mar del Plata, the work of Lina Bo Bardi in Sao Paulo, Eileen Gray's projects in Paris in the 20's, Charlotte Perriand, Athos Bulcao, Clorindo Testa and Le Corbusier, among others.
Through my painting, I seek to communicate and make some of these works known.
As an architect graduated from the University of Buenos Aires, each painting I present carries behind it a documentary research and together they cover an era, a body of work of an architecture of the Modern Movement, from the point of view of pictorial art" (Artist's statement)

"Intangible Landscapes" by Mirta Gendin
The Consulate General of Argentina in New York presents
"Intangible Landscapes", by Mirta Gendin and curated by Carla Rey
| | |
"The landscape is an image in contemplation, a fleeting instant caught in reflection. Mirta Gendin captures its ephemerality and, through her creative process, transforms it into an open territory where light and form dissolve into new perceptions.
Mirta Gendin’s work mutates into vibration, into a weave of light oscillating between the real and the imagined. Each image is a threshold, a reflection that unravels and begins again, inviting the gaze to lose itself in its transformation".
Opening Night May 29th, 5:00 to 7:00 pm
