The initiative is being carried out in Calingasta, Iglesia, Jáchal, and Ullum, and includes activities such as the Robotics Competition and the School of Inventors, aimed at technology training and the development of skills related to logical thinking and creativity.
In this edition, the program also incorporates the opening of Technological Training Centers, allowing children and adolescents from mining communities to directly access the training proposals of the Center for the Knowledge Economy and Innovation (CECI).
Verano Tech 2026 is implemented through coordinated work between the Ministry of Mining, through the Directorate of Sustainable Mining Development; the Ministry of Education, through the Directorate of Technical Education and Vocational Training; and the Ministry of Production, Labor, and Innovation, through the CECI of the Secretariat of Science, Technology, and Innovation. The implementation of the program is financed through mining funds.
