In preparing newsletters/blogs/audio blogs/podcasts/videos, we use the following AI-based tools: OneBizTutor®, our agentic AI platform applied within our project missions. Google Gemini Notebook Pro, to review and scan source materials and support the identification of relevant literature. Grammarly Pro, for language and grammar correction, and stylistic guidance on sentence clarity. Claude, Anthropic, for brainstorming ideas, formulating clear phrasing concepts we had already developed, structuring sections and arguments, and iterative editing support during the drafting and revision process. None of these generated the content of this newsletters and/or blogs etc.. The research question, the design and conduct of project missions and relevant market research for clients, the data collection, the analysis, and the interpretation of findings are our own independent work. Where AI tools were used for language or formulation support, the underlying ideas and arguments originated from us. All AI-assisted text was critically reviewed, verified, and edited before inclusion.

PODCAST Surviving the "Deregulation Paradox in Argentina" — Strategic Intelligence for International Executives
The podcast "Surviving the Deregulation Paradox in Argentina" provides an in-depth audio synthesis of primary intelligence gathered from 196 multinational executives, founders, and operating directors.

To thrive in this new landscape, European companies must act with strategic agility. First, treat South America as a primary infrastructure hub where renewable energy serves as a hedge against global energy volatility and carbon pricing. Second, leverage the "transatlantic digital corridor" created by the 2026 trade agreement to decentralize operations beyond saturated hubs like São Paulo toward emerging nodes like Fortaleza or Patagonia. Third, European firms should proactively engage with the specific investment regimes—seeking the 30-year stability of Argentina’s RIGI for large-scale energy-intensive projects while utilizing Brazil’s REDATA for high-tech infrastructure that aligns with sustainability goals.
