2025 Highlights: A Year of Connection, Growth, and Impact

Looking Ahead to 2026

As 2025 comes to a close, the Argentina–Texas Chamber of Commerce reflects on a year defined by momentum, meaningful connections, and initiatives that strengthened the bridge between Argentina and Texas. Through trade missions, institutional dialogue, and community-building events, the Chamber reinforced its role as a platform for collaboration and long-term partnership. In total, more than 2,000 participants engaged across ATCC initiatives throughout the year, underscoring the growing reach and impact of the Chamber’s work. ATCC also welcomed 80 new members and corporate sponsors, further strengthening its network and regional presence.

A key milestone was the Tech Trade Mission to Austin during SXSW 2025, alongside the Casa Argentina event. With more than 20 participating companies, strategic visits to Tesla and Dell Technologies, over 500 registered attendees, and the launch of the YPF Hackathon, the mission successfully positioned Argentine innovation within one of the world’s leading tech ecosystems, supported by strong public and private sector participation.

Energy remained central to ATCC’s agenda. During OTC 2025, the Chamber led a high-impact Energy Trade Mission to Houston, bringing together a delegation of more than 30 Argentine companies. The Bilateral Energy Summit and the Pre-OTC International Cocktail gathered over 500 participants from more than 200 U.S. companies. The agenda also included technical site visits, high-level business meetings, and strategic exchanges in Houston and Midland, further reinforcing Argentina’s growing role in the global energy landscape.

In parallel, ATCC introduced “A Breakfast With”, a new members-only series designed to foster close dialogue with public officials and industry leaders. The first two editions featured María Tettamanti, Secretary of Energy, and Carolina Cuenca, Undersecretary of Foreign Trade, offering valuable insights into Argentina’s regulatory outlook, trade strategy, and emerging opportunities, while reinforcing the importance of sustained public–private collaboration.

Another cornerstone initiative was Bridging Argentina & Texas, delivered in two phases. The Argentina Edition in Buenos Aires combined expert briefings, institutional meetings, and site visits, while the Midland Edition brought the dialogue to the heart of the Permian Basin, with technical sessions, industry visits, and participation in PBIOS.

The year concluded with End-of-Year Celebrations across Buenos Aires, Neuquén, Houston, Dallas, and Austin, bringing together members and partners to reflect on achievements, strengthen relationships, and look ahead.

As the Chamber turns toward 2026, it does so with renewed energy and a clear focus on expanding opportunities, deepening connections, and continuing to build meaningful bridges between Argentina and Texas—driven by a growing community and an ambitious vision for the years ahead.
