The Municipality of Concordia and the Foundation for Forest Industrial Development of Entre Ríos (FUNDEFI), through the Forest Industrial Development Center (CEDEFI), signed a cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening training, technical assistance, and the development of new projects linked to the wood and construction industry.

Representatives from the National Institute of Industrial Technology (INTI), the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA), business owners, professionals, and leaders of the regional productive sector also participated.
Based on this agreement, the Municipality is making the facilities of the former Fertimaq plant, located in the Las Tejas neighborhood, available for the development of training, technical assistance, and educational activities aimed at students, entrepreneurs, carpenters, builders, and residents interested in joining the forest-industrial chain.
The agreement includes courses on furniture assembly, digital design applied to carpentry, construction of wooden housing modules, and training related to the financing of productive projects, generating new training and employment opportunities for the people of Concordia.
The Secretary of Productive Development, Sebastián Arístide, highlighted that “this agreement is an example of how joint work between the State, institutions, and the productive sector can be transformed into concrete opportunities for our residents. We want more young people, workers, and entrepreneurs to access training tools that allow them to develop, generate income, and find new job opportunities. Concordia has enormous potential in the forest-industrial chain and we must continue to strengthen that path,” he expressed.
Likewise, Arístide remarked that “training is one of the keys to development. That is why we support initiatives that link knowledge, innovation, and production, generating a positive impact both for individuals and for the growth of the city.”
For her part, María Elisa De las Heras valued the continuity of the joint work between the institutions and highlighted the importance of continuing to strengthen spaces for training and knowledge transfer to add value to local production.
In addition to the training, the agreement provides for technical assistance actions for productive and housing projects, as well as surveys and studies that allow for the improvement of future initiatives linked to wood construction and sustainable development.
