Orfila, and the Minister of Education and Justice, Dr. Luis Mac Kay (who spoke on behalf of the President of the Republic, Dr. Arturo Frondizi) delivered their speeches. The growth process was consolidated in 1962 when, in the context of the Law 14,557 of 1958 authorizing the operation of private universities in the country, the Chamber of Corporations decided to create the UNIVERSIDAD ARGENTINA DE LA EMPRESA, whose statutes were approved by that institution on June 7, 1963 and the National Executive Power on August 27 of that year.

In 1968, the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa joined the Council of Rectors of Private Universities (CRUP), after the Law 17,604, passed in that year, institutionalized the agency's performance in the educational activity in Argentina, recognizing it as a representative body in the planning and action of the private sector, acting as an adviser for the National Executive Power.
