Overview

  • CEO Dara Khosrowshahi confirmed the three‑year investment after a meeting with Economy Minister Luis Caputo, marking Argentina as a priority market.
  • Uber Eats will relaunch on a rolling basis starting in Buenos Aires, Rosario, Córdoba and Mendoza, with no specific rollout dates announced.
