Announced by Minister Jimena Latorre at the Andean Bridge meeting in Buenos Aires, the forum will serve as a strategic link between South American mineral assets and the world’s leading sources of international funding.
The Minister of Energy and Environment, Jimena Latorre, has officially announced that Mendoza will host the Andean Capital Forum from April 20 to 22, 2026. This international summit is designed to position the province as the strategic link between Andean mining projects and the world’s leading global investment and financial institutions.
The announcement took place in Buenos Aires during the Andean Bridge meeting, an event that gathered executives from leading companies, multilateral organizations, embassies, industry chambers, and capital market specialists, alongside key national and international stakeholders in mining and productive development.
The initiative was co-organized by Impulsa Mendoza in partnership with the law firm TCA Tanoira Cassagne, the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), global intelligence firm IN-VR, and The Net Zero Circle.
“It is an honor to launch Andean Bridge, an initiative we have been developing alongside the Toronto Stock Exchange, IN-VR, and the Mendoza Stock Exchange. This reflects Mendoza’s strategic decision to establish itself as a financial hub for Andean mining—connecting projects, institutions, and capital with a long-term vision,” stated Minister Latorre before an audience of national authorities and financial system leaders.
The Minister detailed that the international forum will be held at Espacio Arizu in Godoy Cruz, aiming to transform the province into a financial and strategic node for mining development across the Andean region.
“We invite financial institutions and provinces throughout the Andean region to join the Andean Bridge. This is an open, collaborative, and federal initiative designed to support those who integrate into this common architecture, leveraging Mendoza as the central axis to strengthen their own projects,” she added.
A Bridge Between Andean Projects and International Finance
The Andean Capital Forum is a cornerstone of the broader “Andean Bridge” initiative. Its goal is to consolidate a direct channel between mining projects in Argentina, Chile, and Peru and major international funding sources, including institutional investors, capital markets, banks, and specialized funds.
Over the course of three days, the forum will bring together mining companies at various stages of development, investment funds, stock exchanges, government authorities, and institutional leaders.
The central objective is to facilitate access to capital, promote high-quality investment, and strengthen regional integration. This positions Mendoza not only for its geological potential but also as a hub for the institutional, technical, and financial coordination required for sustainable mining development.
Hosting this forum is part of a comprehensive mining promotion agenda that includes investment attraction, strengthening the local supply chain, and professional training. By fostering public-private collaboration and regional integration, Mendoza is solidifying its role as the meeting point for investment, expertise, and productive growth.
