INSIGHTS

Based on the data gathered it is possible to determine there is an emerging Argentinian
EdTech ecosystem aimed to solve regional challenges through disruptive solutions or
the adaptation of internationally established ones.

Argetinian startups are following a global trend in which the inclusion of machine
learning and AI are key aspects for competitiveness. Still the implementation of this type
of ​technology is at its early stage​.

The need for skills development and employability has fostered the creation of startups
aimed to solve this demand. Programming and Robotics have become a central topic of
discussion at a political and social level. Coding schools and Coding platforms for all
ages are the most common solutions these startups are offering.
