Digital revolution connects continents

As a competitve and business-friendly ICT hub, Uruguay is the natural gateway to Latin America

Latin America's rising star

With a strategic location and a growing reputation as the gateway to Latin America and the massive Mercosur market of 500 million people, Uruguay is attracting record foreign direct investment (FDI) as investors race to take advantage of the country's excellent infrastructure and highly-skilled workforce.

Wine and olive oil create recipe for success

With roots stretching back to the turn of the millennium when the first seeds were sown in Punta del Este's fertile soil, Agroland S.A. has blossomed into an agricultural paradise where nature and farming expertise combine to produce fine wine, olive oil and nuts.

Meat sector has a taste of success

Uruguay has three times as many cows as people and its long-established beef industry nurtures the country's most important export product.

With meat an important part of the national identity, it is not surprising that the country holds the Guiness world record for the largest barbecue ever made, from 13 tons of steel and 12,000 kilos of beef.

Uruguay's meat industry boasts a highly-efficient and reassuring tracking system and traceability mechanisms that allow farmers and handlers to track individual animals throughout the bovine's lifetime.

Solid financial system

With a focus on corporate banking and project finance, Banco Santander Uruguay is the country's largest private bank and a recognized leader in the republic's well-regulated, transparent and fast-growing banking and financial services sector.
