In a statement, Todesca Bocco stressed that the program, which is aimed at SMEs, entrepreneurs and cooperatives led by women and has instruments to support them throughout the export process, involves the approach and incentives put in place in such a way that all the tools of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Agency are available to all companies that are established or owned by women.
"In these business meetings we establish the relationship between Argentine production and its counterparts abroad, so that those businesswomen and entrepreneurs who are developing their export profile can promote their economic projects that are so beneficial to the country," the official stressed.
Usandivaras, for his part, said that “on the one hand we have the Argentine Agency for International Trade, which provides companies and the productive potential of Argentina, and on the other hand our embassies, which identify buyers with a high potential for interest in our products and who are trustworthy.”
“We have high expectations of being able to export, and I have a very good feeling about having been able to show what I do, that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has granted us this opportunity,” said the president of Stella Pezzalli Diseño Íntimo.
