CORDOBA, ARGENTINA – July 26, 2017 – Singularity University (SU), a global community with a mission to educate, inspire, and empower leaders to apply exponential technologies to help solve humanity's grand challenges, has established a new Chapter in Cordoba, Argentina, with leadership team members Denise Henry, Felipe Moyano, Horacio Caceres, Humberto Sahade, Ignacio Ghiorzi, and Laercio Simões.
SingularityU Chapters are created in partnership with local program participants and SU alumni, and are located in some of the most innovative and upcoming global technology centers in the world. To date, there are 73 SingularityU Chapters in 45 countries.

SingularityU Chapters are central to enabling local regions to jump-start innovation through the curation of events featuring local experts, sponsorship of SU Global Impact Challenges (GICs), and other initiatives at the local level. Since launching the first program in 2015, SingularityU Chapters have hosted a number of unique events focused on applying exponential technologies to create impact.
