The official, at the same time, maintained: “For us, as the Province of Santa Fe, this proposal is a win-win, because they have at their disposal a cluster of almost 300 companies from different sectors: metalworking, laboratories, knowledge economy, textile and health industries, which are already supplying these productions.”
Next, Puccini recalled that “since we took office we have been working with the Gas, Mining and Oil Board of the province of Santa Fe; and we participated in the San Juan Mining Expo, we were in Salta with our companies, and finally, in Neuquén, with 70 companies from Santa Fe, at the Argentine Oil & Gas Fair, and we had a meeting with the governor to advance an agreement.”

“On Thursday we are going to participate in the YPF launch of a supplier academy. “We are aligned on this agenda, because it is a great opportunity for our companies,” the minister highlighted.
He also announced that “we invite the president of YPF to visit our province, to have a meeting with this cluster of companies, and so that he can tell him about the production that Vaca Muerta will need, which today is the second largest unconventional resource in gas in the world, and this positions Argentina behind China.”
