President Milei will lead a business delegation to Paris from September 30 to October 2 for "Argentina Week," the government's second major push this year to court European investors, following a similar event in New York in March.
The Argentine delegation is expected to include roughly 400 participants, among them Economy Minister Luis Caputo, Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, Deregulation Minister Federico Sturzenegger, Health Minister Mario Lugones and Central Bank President Santiago Bausili. Organizers say about 14 provincial governors will also attend, a number they describe as unprecedented for this kind of trip. Confirmed Argentine business leaders include YPF's Horacio Marín, Globant's Martín Migoya, Cresud's Alejandro Elsztain and Adecoagro's Mariano Bosch.
On the European side, organizers list attendance from executives at Total, Eni, Glencore, Rio Tinto, Santander and Louis Dreyfus Company, along with OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann and International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi.
The three-day agenda runs from a welcome reception at the Argentine Embassy on September 30 to a plenary session at the OECD's Château de la Muette on October 1 — featuring Milei and Caputo, plus sector panels — followed by a reception at the Élysée Palace with French President Emmanuel Macron. October 2 brings sector-specific roundtables at the International Energy Agency and other venues, and a closing ceremony where the Paris Economic Forum plans to recognize Milei.
Organizers are promoting the trip as centered on energy, mining, agroindustry, infrastructure and technology, and have pledged "important announcements," though no specific investment deals have been disclosed ahead of the event.
The Paris trip continues Milei's strategy of using Argentina's RIGI investment-incentive regime as his central sales pitch to foreign capital — a pitch now increasingly aimed at Europe, after the New York event and a trade and investment framework with the United States staked out the American side of that effort.
