La red de oficinas de Latinoamérica que actualmente se extiende por Cono Sur (Argentina-Chile) y Brasil, se encuentra en negociaciones con Colombia para abrir una nueva oficina. Los interlocutores son ESI (European Software Institute), miembro de la comunidad Morfeo y colaborador en la creación de la red de oficinas, y Sinertic por parte colombiana. Gracias a la red internacional de ESI, ha sido posible ponerse en contacto con empresas interesadas en OSS y en Morfeo en particular, e iniciado las conversaciones con el objetivo de crear allí un oficina. Esperemos que las negociaciones lleguen a buen puerto.

La propuesta PTCCTI (Plataforma Tecnológica de Creación de Contenidos para la TV Interactiva), enmarcada dentro del programa Iberoeka del CYTED, en la que países de ambas partes del oceano, intercambiarán conocimiento y buenas prácticas, tiene eco en Argentina.

Gracias a la oficina de Morfeo Cono Sur, PTCCTI ha encontrado socios interesados en participar en este proyecto. Al paracer, la TV Interactiva es una área tecnológica que el gobierno argentino está impulsando, y como consecuencia, existe un interés creciente por parte de las empresas del sector en invertir en esta temática. 

Actualmente, los socios que colaboran en PTCCTI, está ultimando la documentación para ser presentada al organismo evaluador del programa. La parte española, está liderada por Animatu, un estudio de videjuegos y marketing para móvil. También participan, Amasté y Ubiqa, dos empresas relacionadas con los contenidos y los servicios. Para solucionar las partes técnicamente más complejas se cuenta con la colaboración de ESI (European Software Institute) y la Universidad de Deusto.

También desde Colombia hay interés en formar parte en esta propuesta, aunque de momento no se ha confirmado su participación.
