A foundation driving Argentina's tech ecosystem to position the country as a global hub for innovation.
OUR IMPACT
OUR VISION
THE ARGENTINA
OPPORTUNITY
Argentina's tech ecosystem is in motion: startups raising capital week after week, engineers leading global teams, products built here running across the region. Behind that motion, Argentina has all the conditions to become a global hub for innovation.
/TOP TALENT
Argentina produces world-class engineers, scientists, developers and founders. Many hold key roles in the world's leading technology companies.
/REAL NEED
Necessity shapes what gets built here. Argentine builders live close to real problems, and their products are built to solve them.
/INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT
The public sector is listening and responding to the needs of those who build, working toward a regulatory framework that matches the ecosystem's pace.
The conditions took decades to build. The convergence is happening now.
CRECIMIENTO EMERGES AS A RESPONSE TO WHAT IS ALREADY HAPPENING IN ARGENTINA.
Every startup that scales solves a concrete problem for real people. Crecimiento exists so that more of them succeed: an interconnected ecosystem of programs and initiatives that creates the conditions for collaboration and experimentation, supporting founders at every stage and connecting them with the right people at the right time. Our work stands on three fronts.
/COWORK
Aleph Hub, our permanent home in Buenos Aires, hosts the programs, the events and the daily activity of the ecosystem.
/PROGRAMS
A system of programs that supports startups and founders at every stage, connecting them with mentors, investors and international partners.
/REGULATORY EFFORTS
Crecimiento bridges the public and private sectors, bringing the needs of those who build into the regulatory conversation.
Next flagship event
Our programs and initiatives
THE CRECIMIENTO ECOSYSTEM
Pop Up City
Aleph
A month-long event where the ecosystem gathers to live and build together in Buenos Aires, combining a formal agenda of hackathons, summits, demo days, workshops and thematic days such as Regulation Day or AI Day with programming created by the community itself. Across five editions, more than 10,000 people took part.
From Idea to Project
Aleph Hackathon
Crecimiento's flagship hackathon: an intensive, multi-day event where builders, founders, developers and students create projects across the ecosystem's most relevant verticals. More than 3,000 hackers took part across its five editions, with tracks in different technologies such as crypto, AI, biotech and robotics.
Policy Dialogue
Regulation Day
It gathers regulators, lawmakers, industry chambers and private-sector leaders to build bridges between the public sector and the innovation ecosystem. Its five editions brought together more than 300 speakers, with an agenda that follows the regulatory questions of each moment: digital assets, stablecoins, tokenization, compliance, AI and special economic zones.
Accelerate
Acceleration Program
Six-week programs where startups refine their product, ending in a demo day in front of global investors. Selected teams get structured mentorship, masterclasses, technical support and office hours with the teams of the protocols involved. Crecimiento has run them alongside the Uniswap Foundation, twice, and Lisk.
