This workaims to study strategies used in Argentine local development experiences,focusing on industrial design, marketing and entrepreneurship. In order to thispurpose, we analyse backgrounds with this approach adding the study of threestrategic plans for national and provincial level that are currently in force. Withthe analysis of the transport system in the last decade, an accelerated costincrease is evident, resulting in a relatively higher price of distributedproducts. This situation that was initially perceived as a disadvantage finallyset up an opportunity to produce locally. The goal of this paper is to providetools that contribute to the work shipped by key institutions for localdevelopment (public, private and intermediary organizations); and the way theseinteract with the actors and the territory. In particular, the identificationof productive sectors and the selection of goods that can be produced andconsumed locally, as a key input for the formulation of projects.
