The Presidency of the Republic issued its thematic report in the last hours. Through it, the director of Zonamerica, Martin Dovat, referred to the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Uruguay.
Dovat stressed that technology is here to stay in all areas, and said that the country is gaining access to markets with "premium products, thanks to added values such as traceability".
He assured that "entrepreneurship in Uruguay is possible and the only drawback you may have is to access a chain of capital that accompanies the different stages of maturity of the enterprise in question".
The development of ICTs allowed all workers in the field to have skilled jobs, export their products and services to 52 countries and generate some 400 million dollars a year, it said.
New technologies
In this context, the general manager of the Central Lanera Uruguaya, Diego Saavedra, said that "the agricultural sector went through qualitative changes thanks to the introduction of new technologies. In this sense, he exemplified with the "sheep revolution".
"With the support of the National Agency for Research and Innovation (ANII), the Central Lanera carried out the Sheep Technological Center project, a project that benefited 215 producers and allowed the increase of pastures by 60% and labor productivity by 9%," he said.
The report of the Presidency highlights the existence of places where entrepreneurs can bet on their projects, such as: "The incubator of the Technological Laboratory of Uruguay (LATU), the Technological Pole Institute of Pando, and the academic unit of the Faculty of Chemistry".
