Argentina
Building Argentina’s first Technology incubator
Menu
After visiting Argentina and speaking with government ministers, incubator managers, investors and entrepreneurs, IdealityRoads recommended a pivot in CITES’s strategy from a service provider model to that of an Israeli-style technology incubator. Recognizing Israel’s model of technology incubators as an essential step towards creating a diverse high-tech ecosystem, CITES and GSS agreed to the proposal.
IdealityRoads oversaw CITES’s transformation, with a particular focus on implementing globally-recognized best practice in technology incubator management. Closely mentoring the incubator’s team, the company worked to build practical knowledge that would enable CITES’s staff to develop internal work processes, manage deal flow, structure early stage VC deals with universities and industry, and more. At the same time, IdealityRoads also engaged with other active players in Argentina’s technology ecosystem to create synergies and opportunities for partnership.
With the transformation successfully completed, CITES has launched, funded and mentored a number of high-tech initiatives in the province of Santa Fe. This success generated awareness of CITES among Argentinian government officials, who themselves turned to IdealityRoads to replicate CITES’s success on a national level.
IdealityRoads has since advised Argentina’s national government on the principles of a 2017 initiative spreading CITES’s basic model and vision through three advanced public-private innovation programs. In November 2017, the company then went on to serve on the national selection committee for the initiative.
