Our History
Our origin is in the Argentinian consulting firm CarpoACE, which Eladio Carpintero founded more than 25 years ago. In 2018, Eladio decided to partner with Gabriel Pieroni, who had been collaborating freelance on certain projects, to expand consulting activities in Spain, where Gabriel has lived since 2001.
Initially, they focused on 2 of the consultancy's specialties, which are publicly funded projects and assistance in ISO standards certification. Contacts were generated in Spain and Argentina, with a view to facilitating the development of international cooperation projects between both countries.
After the covid-19 pandemic, and with the arrival of the Next Generation EU funds in Spain, finally in 2022 Eladio and Gabriel associated and found CarpoACE Europe, S.L. in the city of Malaga. They chose this city due to the proximity of Gabriel's residence, as well as the development that Malaga had been undergoing in the field of technology companies and the Spanish and European innovation ecosystem. Its office is established in Málaga TechPark (Technological Park of Andalusia), which houses more than 600 companies with a turnover of 2,400 million euros and employs more than 22,000 workers.
