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

The Uruguayan and Chinese economies complement each other perfectly, with the former a leading producer of food and provider of world-class services required by the latter's giant industrial and commercial base and fast-growing consumer society. Uruguay also offers duty-free access to the massive Brazilian and Argentinian markets and benefits from a free trade agreement with Mexico, while its modern transport and port infrastructures, free trade air- and seaport zones (Montevideo is the only free port on South America's Atlantic coast) and next-generation ICT systems make it a highly competitive services platform.

Uruguay XXI, the country's investment and export promotion agency, is spearheading efforts to internationalize the economy by strengthening Uruguay's image abroad and promoting its many enviable assets to investors.
