The Industry Week to be held from November 14 to 18 in Montevideo and the interior of the country will be a space for the exchange of ideas and an environment conducive to laying the foundations for creating the industry of the future, said the Minister of Industry, Carolina Cosse, during the launch of the event at the Communications Tower in Montevideo.

 

 

This event will take place both in Montevideo and in the interior, and will develop activities with leading experts and will delve into some sectors such as biotechnology, digital design, information technologies or artificial intelligence.

 

In addition to the Ministry, the Chamber of Industries of Uruguay, the Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technologies (Cuti), Antel, UTE, the Technological Laboratory of Uruguay, the Technological University, the Council of Professional Technical Education (UTU), the Project for the Internationalization of Productive Specialization, the National Agency for Research and Innovation will participate, the Uruguay XXI Institute, the Science and Technology Park of Pando, the Industrial Technology Park of Cerro, the Faculty of Engineering, the Ricaldoni Foundation, the University of Montevideo, Sinergia Tech, Mercosur, ADM, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization.

 

Tal como destaca la web del ministerio, las propuestas de la Semana de la Industria son libres y gratuitas. Este espacio constituye un ámbito para propiciar el intercambio de ideas, promover la adaptación del tejido industrial nacional a las últimas innovaciones tecnológicas y construir así las bases para crear la industria del futuro. «De acá surgirán más y mejores líneas de trabajo para seguir construyendo juntos», valoró la ministra Cosse.

 

 

He added that artificial intelligence and biotechnology are opportunities in our country.

 

Structural measures such as the opening of markets, the promotion of business innovation with funds and programs, but also specific measures such as the energy efficiency program that benefited 1,300 small dairy farms, were highlighted by the Minister of Industry, Carolina Cosse.

 

Some sectors of the food industry, the dairy industry, plastics and the automotive industry, were identified by Cosse as sectors in difficulty. But "measures must be taken to counteract the complicated international trend," such as those cited by the minister.
