  4. Macroeconomic Variables: Exports Major areas of Argentina’s exports Fuente: Elaboración propia en base a datos INDEC. Note: For the techno-productive profile, the OECD classification, which only considers manufacturing industries, was used.

  5. Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Biomedicine A long-standing tradition of excellence in scientific development made it possible to create a highly-qualified critical mass of human resources. Bernardo Houssay Physiology and Medicine, 1947 Luis F. LeloirChemistry, 1970 César MilsteinPhysiology and Medicine, 1984

  6. Availability of Highly-Qualified Human Resources The availability of a high level of education and talented professionals establishes solid foundations for R&D STUDENTS Between 2000 and 2008, the number of new doctorates in the sciences increased by an annual growth rate of 16.6%. 746 new graduates in 2008 Doctorate 12,715 6,886 new graduates in 2008 Graduate-level 67,445 94,909 new graduates in 2008 Higher Education 1,600,522 High School Education 3,523,132 99.1 Literacy Rate Elementary School Education 4,664,025

  7. Entrepreneur Capacity Argentina ranks fourth in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (2008) Ranking by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), 2008 ✓ The country has an important group of talented, motivated entrepreneurs. ✓ The country has business schools with international prestige.
