Half of Argentine Companies Are Already Executing Generative AI Projects

With the exception of Banking, Finance, and Insurance, the other sectors perceive themselves as 20% more evolved than they actually are.

Cybersecurity (84%) and Cloud (89%) lead adoption, while Blockchain barely reaches 4%. The Telecommunications sector consolidates itself as the most advanced in the Argentine business ecosystem. Large companies mark the difference: they show 30% more technological evolution than SMEs.

Buenos Aires – November 2025. Ingenia, the Argentine IT company, presents the first edition of its Technological Evolution Report, an unprecedented research study that analyzes the degree of technological progress of the business ecosystem in Argentina. The study, prepared based on the participation of 57 leaders in the sector, offers a detailed and updated radiography of the state of maturity of local organizations, providing critical information for strategic decision-making. Based on the responses of IT leaders from local and regional companies, the report evaluated the development of various strategic areas.

One of the most outstanding findings of the study is the sustained growth of Generative Intelligence (GenAI), which reaches a medium level of adoption in local organizations. Today, 48% of companies are already executing at least one AI project and, in large corporations, this number can scale up to six initiatives simultaneously, a sign of accelerated adoption. This data is especially relevant considering that it is a technology with barely three years of massive proliferation. However, although it is still in a developmental stage, its sustained growth demonstrates a real interest on the part of Argentine organizations in exploring and capitalizing on its potential.

In this sense, large companies lead its adoption, followed by small and medium-sized ones, evidencing a transversal interest in exploring its potential. Sectors such as Telecommunications, Banking, and Energy position themselves among the most advanced in the matter, while Healthcare and Consulting are the sectors with the lowest positioning, despite having multiple applicable use cases.

This data reflects a clear trend: Argentine companies are beginning to integrate GenAI as a tool of strategic value. While adoption is not yet massive, the maturity reached allows for the projection of sustained growth in the coming years.

“Technology stopped being a support area to transform into a business axis. This report seeks to understand not only at what point we are, but also toward where Argentine companies are evolving,” noted Fernando Sclavo, Head of Strategic Evolution at Ingenia.

Added to this panorama are other relevant indicators: 84% of companies already have Cybersecurity practices, reaching very high levels of maturity. This progress is driven both by legal and regulatory aspects, as well as by the interest of organizations in protecting their data.

Similarly, 89% of companies use cloud infrastructure, with maturity levels ranging from high to very high. The adoption of Cloud, in both exclusive and hybrid models, is consolidated as a key enabler to optimize operations and make costs more efficient.

In contrast, the research demonstrated that only 4% of companies implement Blockchain solutions, and those who do show low levels of maturity. The technology, which promised to be transversal, transformed into a tool destined for specific uses within a reduced niche, mainly in fintech.

“The reading of these results is key to understanding the starting point of the country in technological matters. It allows us to visualize where we are and what we need to strengthen to continue evolving. Understanding in what stage each organization is is the first step to planning its growth and this report seeks exactly that: to map reality to be the beginning of the development of more effective strategies,” concludes Sclavo.

Technological maturity: perception vs. reality.

Regarding technological maturity, 75% of Argentine companies perceive themselves with a high level of maturity, while 25% are located in the lowest levels. In this sense, with the exception of Banking, Finance, and Insurance, the other sectors perceive themselves as 20% more evolved than they would actually be.

The analysis also reveals marked differences in the level of technological progress. Telecommunications leads the development, consolidating itself as the most evolved sector of the ecosystem. At the other extreme, Technology presents a medium-low level and Healthcare is the only one positioned below the general average, reflecting a slower pace of progress compared to other industries.

On the other hand, large companies raise the bar in technology: in 100% of cases they present 30% more evolution compared to medium and small ones, which show almost no differences in evolution between them, with the exception of Cybersecurity where small ones present an opportunity for improvement. An expected difference given their greater investment capacity and trajectory that confirms that technological maturity is directly linked to investment capacity and available resources.

When evaluating them by size, it could be observed that large ones stand out in Cybersecurity, Cloud, Data, and GenAI, consolidating a clear technological leadership. In contrast, small and medium-sized ones are located at a medium level, with a focus on enabling technologies such as the cloud.

This research constitutes a strategic input to understand how Argentine organizations navigate their digital transformation processes. By identifying the maturity gaps and common challenges, both at the micro (organizational) and macro (national) levels, the study allows for dimensioning the real state of the ecosystem and guiding decisions toward a sustained evolution.
