The Fundación Telefónica in Buenos Aires, with its mission of contributing to the spread and development of culture and education by means of the new technologies and ensuring equality of opportunity for the whole community, in 2003 opened its cultural centre, the Espacio Fundación Telefónica. The Espacio comprises exhibition spaces, a video-conferencing room, a media laboratory, a cafeteria and a media library with a strong focus on both contemporary art and information and communication technology. It is now facing its next challenge, which is to build up the centre to be the leading local and Latin-American source in its field.
