Sumario:Global trends in energy security and climate change mitigation represent a space of opportunity for the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, specialized in the production of natural resources, to develop new competitive advantages and higher value-added activities. The article identifies and analyzes the productive andtechnological capabilities built by firms when entering the bioenergy industry for thermal or electrical purposes in Argentina, and the collaboration networks that integrate and facilitate learning inside and outside this industry. The work applies a multiple case study composed by firms located in the provinces of Santa Fe and Buenos Aires (Argentina) with different technological trajectories. The evidence corroborates that the capacities that firms acquire are conditioned by their trajectory, but it also shows that the interaction with entities that carry other knowledge bases facilitates the creation of new knowledge around the specificity of natural resources.
