Argentina's IT sector has shown remarkable growth, particularly in software and IT services, where direct employment has quadrupled, increasing from 19,000 to 78,000, and exports have grown from US$170 million to $970 million.

The paper reviews higher-level IT education in Argentina, including related challenges and some of the public policies in place to address such challenges.
