Consolidating and developing the Clúster Automotriz y Movilidad Sostenible de Córdoba amid global transitions
The project aims to consolidate the Clúster Automotriz y Movilidad Sostenible de Córdoba as an institution and align its industry strategy with the global shifts tied to the energy transition, decarbonization and sustainable mobility.
Summary
The Clúster Automotriz y Movilidad Sostenible de Córdoba (CLAUTO), represented by the Cámara de Industriales Metalúrgicos y Componentes (CIMCC), carried out this foundational, strategic project while formalizing its status as a nonprofit association (its registration with IPJ, the provincial registry of legal entities, was in progress at the time of submission). The project launched programs under the three strategic pillars of the cluster's roadmap: management innovation, talent management and sustainability.
Activity 1 — Organizing and managing CLAUTO cost structures: building a cost matrix and indicators for the main industrial activities in the auto parts chain (machining, aluminum refining, aluminum injection, stamping/assembly, exhaust system manufacturing), with a comparative benchmark against Brazil and Mexico, managed by the cluster's Competitiveness Committee. It also included the formal incorporation of CLAUTO as a nonprofit association.
Activity 2 — Industrial robotics training: training 25 employees from member companies in a skill critical to the industry's technological transformation, through a 50-hour program (24 hours of theory at a partner technical institute + 26 hours of hands-on practice in real production facilities).
Activity 3 — Building a vision on global transitions and sustainable mobility: a series of working sessions led by the automakers, visits to 5 assembly plants, exchanges with automotive clusters in benchmark countries, and a final workshop to redefine the cluster's strategies and action plans in light of electric mobility and the sustainability transition.
506,406 (ARS 5M non-repayable grant + ARS 4.5M cash co-funding + ARS 1M in kind).
Main objective
Deliver the first actions under CLAUTO's three strategic pillars (management innovation, talent management and sustainability) by building internationally comparable competitiveness indicators, strengthening critical industrial robotics skills and defining the cluster's vision on global transitions and sustainable mobility, all alongside the cluster's institutional consolidation as a nonprofit association.
