For the first timeUruguay was represented in the Australian roadshow (May 22-26) by the business delegation led by Uruguay XXI (Uruguay’s private-public trade and investment promotion agency), the Investment Agency for the Department of Canelones and accompanied by the Uruguayan based advisory firm Hughes & Hughes.
The Uruguayan official commercial delegation attended the Latin American Infrastructure forum 2017 in Melbourne (May 22-24) followed by a two day visit to Sydney (May 25-26). The delegation also promoted meetings with companies and chambers to discuss the synergies and opportunities that Latin America, and particularly Uruguay, presents for Australian businesses.
Infrastructure and logistics are one of the key areas for promotion considering Uruguay’s unique profile as a regional logistics hub and the ambitious government investment portfolio in infrastructure for the period 2015-2020, which includes roads, railways and social infrastructure (namely schools and health facilities).
Moreover, with a long term tradition of agricultural production, the agribusines ssector of Uruguay remains as a permanent source of opportunities. Other key areas are ICT, global services and tourism.
