Río Negro entrepreneurship program selects four regional finalists

Four entrepreneurial projects have advanced to the provincial final of the Emprendedoras y Emprendedores de Río Negro 2026 program. Following a semifinal held in General Roca for the Alto Valle–Viedma node, the selected finalists are Sauce Patagonia, AEREAL Patagonia, Alto Valle Co., and Somos Agropecuarios.

The projects represent diverse sectors, including equestrian products, agricultural drones, regional distilled beverages, and liquid livestock supplements. The program, organized by Fundación Nobleza Obliga and Banco Patagonia, provides training and seed capital to foster economic growth and employment in the province.

The competition is currently moving through regional nodes. On September 2, fifteen projects will compete in Bariloche for the remaining spots from the Cordillera–Línea Sur node. This will determine the eight finalists who will compete in the provincial final scheduled for October.
