Thiswork aims 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 approachadding the study of three strategic plans for national and provincial levelthat are currently in force. With the analysis of the transport system in thelast decade, an accelerated cost increase is evident, resulting in a relativelyhigher price of distributed products. This situation that was initiallyperceived as a disadvantage finally set up an opportunity to produce locally. Thegoal of this paper is to provide tools that contribute to the work shipped bykey institutions for local development (public, private and intermediaryorganizations); and the way these interact with the actors and the territory.In particular, the identification of productive sectors and the selection ofgoods that can be produced and consumed locally, as a key input for theformulation of projects.
