As part of the Andean Capital Forum, organized by the Government of Mendoza together with Impulsa Mendoza, IN-VR, the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Mendoza Stock Exchange and BYMA, leading representatives from the mining, financial and public sectors gathered in the province to connect projects with global capital markets.
Within this framework, PromArgentina joined Andean Bridge, the financial and strategic platform created to connect mining and energy projects across the Andean region with international investors and global sources of financing.
PromArgentina’s incorporation marks another step forward in strengthening Mendoza’s and Argentina’s presence in international capital markets.
“We want to expand our economic structure, and we need to move into new industries such as mining. All of these activities require macroeconomic stability, something Argentina is gradually achieving,” Governor Alfredo Cornejo said during the signing ceremony.
“Mendoza is entering the sustainable mining sector, and Andean Bridge seeks to transform the province into a financial hub capable of supporting and leveraging Andean mining projects. That is why we signed an agreement with PromArgentina to promote investment opportunities,” Cornejo added.
The memorandum was signed by Diego Sucalesca, Executive President of PromArgentina, and Stelios Papagrigoriou, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of IN-VR, during a ceremony attended by Minister of Energy and Environment Jimena Latorre and Guillaume Légaré, Head of South America for the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The agreement aims to align Argentina’s national investment promotion capabilities with a structured regional pipeline of mining projects, integrating the work of PromArgentina — the national agency responsible for promoting investment and exports — with IN-VR, the international advisory firm specialized in networking, investment promotion and global capital market positioning.
Regional Integration of Mining Projects
The memorandum further reinforces the objectives of Andean Bridge, the platform created by the Government of Mendoza in collaboration with IN-VR, the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), the Mendoza Stock Exchange and BYMA to connect Andean regional projects with international financing opportunities.
“The mining sector is one of the most important drivers within our productive investment attraction agenda,” Sucalesca said during his presentation at the forum.
“Argentina is facing a historic opportunity to become a strategic player in the global mining industry, in a context shaped by the energy transition, growing demand for critical minerals and the need to implement sustainable production models,” he added.
Sucalesca emphasized that the public-private coordination promoted by PromArgentina will be essential to positioning Argentina as a reliable and competitive mining supplier on the global stage, while also highlighting the country’s regulatory framework for attracting investment into the sector.
Mendoza as a Mining Finance Hub
Over the course of three days, the Andean Capital Forum brought together some of the leading figures in the global mining ecosystem, including institutional investors, mining companies, multilateral organizations, national and provincial government representatives and diplomatic authorities.
The forum’s main objective was to consolidate a direct channel between mining projects in Argentina, Chile and Peru and the world’s major financing sources, including capital markets, investment banks, specialized funds and institutional investors.
