MES East is specifically oriented to CIOs of medium-sized companies in the East Coast of the United States and has the support of Gartner, so the Uruguayan companies that participated in the event together with Uruguay XXI had the opportunity to promote their solutions among 170 CIOs through the coordination of one-on-one meetings.
Uruguay's proposal was based on highlighting the facilities it offers as "Prime location in LATAM for the development of world-class solutions" with concrete examples of different high value-added solutions offered by Uruguayan IT companies.
Uruguay also organized a Private Reception to which it invited a select group of CIOs defined as strategic for Uruguayan companies, which was attended by 19 CIOs who, in addition to tasting Uruguayan wines and delicatessen, were able to enjoy a fantastic evening of networking.
The companies that accompanied the delegation were Capicua, Cualit, Lagash and Switch. They participated with first level representatives and had an outstanding presence in all areas of the conference which resulted in Uruguay Smart Services being recognized in MES Xcellence Awards with two important nominations: Pavilion Best Strategy and Best of Show Event.
"Participating in MES was an excellent opportunity to directly generate leads and prospects in the North American market, as well as to continue with the internationalization process of our company", said Martin Perez, Cualit's CEO.
Switch Software was grateful to have attended MES, representing Uruguay's technology sector with Uruguay XXI. "We gained significant business intelligence and generated key connections for our recent growth initiative in the U.S. Uruguay XXI provided excellent support throughout the process, ensuring a successful event. We highly recommend the experience and plan to return to MES in the future".
On the other hand, the Uruguay Smart Services team took advantage of its visit to the United States to set up an agenda of meetings with public and private actors of interest for the promotion of Uruguay with a focus on the IT and Architecture sectors, in Indianapolis and Chicago.
