With the presence of municipal and provincial authorities, this Friday the multisectoral expo “Concordia Produce 2025” was inaugurated, a space destined for the development of a productive and academic agenda for the region, bringing together entrepreneurs, companies, universities, public agencies, and institutions from the industrial, commercial, academic, and agricultural sectors.
The objective is to boost networking, the exchange of knowledge, and the generation of opportunities for local and regional progress, offering a wide variety of activities that combine conferences, exhibitions, talks, and thematic presentations, promoting dialogue between the different actors of the productive framework.
“This is an event to share perspectives, experiences, and knowledge that will strengthen us,” highlighted Mayor Francisco Azcué, who also stated: “it is a path that we must travel together to generate the favorable and necessary conditions that allow Concordia and the region to once again be that thriving land it once was.”
In that line, Azcué listed the different public policies executed during his administration to favor the establishment of companies and the generation of genuine employment, such as the elimination of more than 300 municipal taxes, the strengthening of the Industrial Park, the adherence to the RIGI and RINI, and the reduction in public spending, among others, to generate investments and conditions “understanding that the private sector is the engine of growth and development, and if they choose us, the whole city will benefit.”
Hand in hand with the Province, “we govern with efficiency and honesty, which is why I ask you to take advantage of these spaces that will serve us to continue building a better future,” maintained the Mayor, who thanked the various universities, companies, and private firms that support the expo.
The Minister of Government and Labor of the Province, Manuel Troncoso, stated that “today in Concordia, together, the municipality and the province are planting another milestone in aiming to strengthen a province that walks the path of development, productivity, and economic growth.”
“Today we have a governor who does what is necessary with political decision, providing a strategic vision for the present and for the future because we are not petty. We do not govern to win elections, we govern for all the generations to come in our province,” remarked Troncoso.
For his part, the Minister of Economic Development, Guillermo Bernaudo, indicated that growth “is a path that is built and worked on jointly by all sectors, with a present state generating possibilities for the private sector to develop, which are the protagonists when it comes to generating job sources.”
“When one sees that the provincial and municipal government align in seeking to provide support, it generates that confidence to start thinking about new projects, about new things to do,” stressed Bernaudo.
Present were Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the Secretary of Productive Development Federico Schattenhofer; national and provincial legislators, councilors, members of the municipal cabinet, provincial officials, and representatives of intermediate entities and the private sector.
