This article analyzes the role of Jorge Sabato as one of the key figures of Latin American Thought in Science, Technology, Development and Dependence (PLACTED).Based on his work in the metallurgical industry, it is shown how he managed to create the basis for the country's main autonomous developments in nuclear technology in the Argentine National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA), in a combination of thought and action. On the other hand, it is described how he developed a line of thought around technological autonomy putting it into practice, and how he was able to bring together technologists and thinkers from different countries of the region that constituted PLACTED, based on his leadership capacity. His outstanding work in foresight and the pioneering nature at the world level meant the development of innovation concepts, innovation systems, the unbundling of the technological package, technology as a commodity, and the widespread figure of the so-called "Sabato Triangle".
