Minister of Energy and Environment Jimena Latorre announced that Mendoza will host the Andean Capital Forum, an international congress scheduled for April 20–22, 2026, designed to connect mining projects from the Andean region with the world’s leading sources of global financing.
The announcement was made in Buenos Aires during the Andean Bridge meeting, which brought together representatives from leading companies, multilateral organizations, embassies, industry chambers and capital market leaders, with participation from national and international stakeholders linked to productive and mining development.
The event was co-organized by Impulsa Mendoza together with TCA Tanoira Cassagne, the Toronto Stock Exchange, consulting firm IN-VR and The Net Zero Circle.
“It is an honor to launch Andean Bridge, an initiative we have been developing together with the Toronto Stock Exchange, IN-VR and the Mendoza Stock Exchange. It reflects a strategic decision by Mendoza: to consolidate itself as a financial hub for Andean mining by connecting projects, institutions and capital with a long-term vision,” the minister said before an audience composed of national authorities, mining value chain representatives and leaders from the financial sector.
Latorre explained that the international forum will take place at Espacio Arizu, in Godoy Cruz, with the objective of positioning the province as a financial and strategic node for mining development across the Andean region.
“We invite financial institutions and provinces from across the Andean region to join Andean Bridge. This is an open, collaborative and federal initiative designed to support those who decide to integrate, take advantage of a shared architecture and strengthen their own projects, with Mendoza serving as the articulating axis,” she added.
During the event, representatives from capital markets and international consulting firms also delivered presentations analyzing the role of global financial integration in the development of mining projects across South America.
A Bridge Between Andean Projects and International Financing
The Andean Capital Forum will be held as part of the Andean Bridge initiative and aims to establish a direct channel between mining projects from Argentina, Chile and Peru and the world’s leading sources of international financing, including institutional investors, capital markets, banks and specialized funds.
Over three days, the forum will bring together mining companies at different stages of development, investment funds, banks, stock exchanges and capital markets, government authorities and institutional leaders connected to productive and mining development.
Its main objective is to facilitate access to financing, promote high-quality investment and strengthen regional integration, positioning Mendoza not only for its geological potential but also as a space for institutional, technical and financial coordination for the sustainable development of Andean mining.
The forum is part of a broader mining promotion agenda that includes investment attraction initiatives, strengthening the local productive network, training programs and supplier development, with the goal of ensuring that mining growth creates concrete opportunities for local communities and companies throughout the province.
Through this strategy, Mendoza continues consolidating its profile as a meeting point for investment, knowledge, public-private collaboration and productive development with a regional vision.
