In the foothills of the Andes lies the city of Bariloche, Argentina. A renowned tourist resort, Bariloche is also home to one of the world’s most innovative and skilled engineering and research companies, INVAP (Investigación Aplicada).

INVAP is renowned for its advanced technical and administrative project control systems for nuclear, space, and industrial projects. Mostly because of INVAP, Argentina is recognized worldwide as a reliable supplier of nuclear facilities, as well as cobalt therapy and industrial automation equipment.

In July 2000 the Australian government chose INVAP from several leading suppliers for the engineering, construction, procurement, installation, and commissioning of a world-class nuclear research reactor near Sydney.
