The capital and largest city of Argentina, classified as an Alpha− global city and the country's unrivaled tech and creative powerhouse — Buenos Aires is home to 100,000+ tech professionals and 4,000+ tech companies concentrated in Palermo Hollywood (the city's primary tech and creative corridor), Puerto Madero (corporate and fintech HQs), and Recoleta.
