From the Chamber of Industries of Uruguay we work to bring technological, environmental and commercial trends closer to industrial companies, and to promote the growth of new entrepreneurship in the sector. To do this, we generate alliances with other national and international institutions for the execution of projects and the provision of business development services. Currently, we have multiple contacts with business chambers in Latin America and Europe, through the execution of projects with European financing (for example, the AL-INVEST Program) and through contact spaces generated by United Nations offices, such as UNIDO and ILO. Knowing the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem of a region of the United States will enrich our perspective, providing us with knowledge and new contacts. Therefore, we consider participation in ACE Michigan will be a qualitative leap for our institution, by identifying new opportunities and experiences, still unexplored. We will be opening new doors, which we hope will allow us to build new capabilities and contact networks to promote the productive development of Uruguay.
