The adoption of new 4.0 technologies -artificial intelligence, Big Data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, advanced robotics, among others- is radically transforming the productive systems of central countries. However, the scope of the diffusion of these technologies in peripheral countries such as Argentina is not homogeneous. Their impact on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is characterized by a scarce knowledge of the new technologies, insufficient financial resources to adopt them, and a low availability of skilled labor force. This paper analyzes the main national and provincial policies oriented to the diffusion of 4.0 technologies, particularly those focused on the promotion of intermediate organizations oriented to SMEs, such as Technology Centers (TC).
