The Argentina platform of micro and nanotechnologies will be created in order to promote international cooperation with the European Union (EU) through mechanisms and instruments implemented by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation. In this regard, the Programme for Strengthening SMEs Competitiveness and Creation of Employment in Argentina represents an effort undertaken for the  development of cooperation in order to overcome the obstacles that prevent the enterprises from accessing these new technologies. It also aims at increasing their competitiveness, promoting  conservation and increasing employment in SMEs in Argentina, and bridge the technology gap and existing inequalities.

The platform promotes bringing together all the stakeholders involved in these technologies and  supports national priorities in this field. A strategic agenda in micro- and nanotechnology will also be outlined. Awareness campaigns will be conducted in SMEs to incorporate innovation in their designs, and a favourable regulatory environment will be promoted,  and public and social policies destined to stimulate investments on the  development and application of new technologies in the productive sector.
Besides, the Platform will act as an Argentinean micro and nanotechnology support desk for the promotion of a one-stop-shopping. That will enhance networking among c cooperation networks and shall promote the development of projects  and strategic partnership initiatives
