The initiative had the strategic support of the Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technologies (Cuti), IT Builders and Uruguay XXI, the agency for the promotion of investments, exports and country image.
In addition, the book includes the testimony of Carlos Acle, former president of Cuti, and Alejandro Ferrari, Investment and Aftercare Manager of Uruguay XXI, who provided their vision on the development and future of the IT sector in Uruguay.
Alejandro Ferrari stressed that “Uruguay is a reliable country to do business in”, stressing that “The ICT industry has led the flow of foreign direct investment in recent years, attracting international companies that decide to operate and grow from Uruguay. In addition, it has increased the flow of regional talent, from founders to highly qualified technicians who choose to live in our country.”
This event and the book reflect Uruguay’s commitment and continued growth in the technology sector, cementing its reputation as an innovative and attractive hub for investments in the region.
