TAURUS DEVELOPS FIRST TECHNOLOGY PARK IN ARGENTINA

Taurus Investment Holdings, LLC (TIH) is proud to announce that it is developing Austral Technology Park, near Buenos Aires, through its regional subsidiary, Taurus Americas. This is the first technology park of its kind in Argentina.

TIH is creating this park in conjunction with Austral University, the preeminent private university in Argentina. TIH is planning to invest more than US $100 million in this groundbreaking technology center. In Phase I, TIH will invest US $15 million into the park's infrastructure and the four buildings (30,000 square feet each) of the first companies to occupy the park.

In tandem, TIH and Austral University are interviewing and carefully selecting the companies that will become the first to occupy the park, among which are high-profile multinational chemical, communications, information technology, and pharmaceutical firms.

Since Austral Technology Park is a national strategic initiative, companies located within it will be granted tax exemptions and subsidies. The project has received governmental endorsement at national, state and municipal levels.

The Park's Web site www.parqueaustral.org was recently launched. It contains information about available space, news and media sections.
