In the last decade, the sector contributed to almost one-fifth of the jobs created. Today it provides formal employment to more than 140,000 people, surpassing the automotive, oil and mining sectors. At the same time, salaries are higher than the average of the economy and have increased faster than in other sectors. In 2011, they were 35% higher than the average and, by 2022, that difference would amount to 85%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is dynamic and has an impact on the productivity of other sectors.<\/strong> In the last two decades, the sector&#8217;s sales have grown to such an extent that its share in national private employment has tripled. And between 2003 and 2023, sector exports grew 16 times. Currently, Argentina exports software for just over USD 2.4 billion per year, which represents 2.95% of exports of goods and services. This industry not only exports, but it is also surplus (with an average trade surplus of USD 696 million for the period 2014-2023) and therefore a net foreign exchange generator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Argentina is an interesting case in terms of the &#8220;birth rate&#8221; of unicorns<\/strong>. Companies such as Mercado Libre, Despegar, Globant, Olx, Ual\u00e1 or Tiendanube, with a market value of more than USD 1 billion. In 2022, the country had 11 unicorns in the sector, a number similar to that of Mexico -whose economy is twice the size of Argentina&#8217;s- and just below the number of Japanese firms of this type
