The country offered a mix of important sectoral incentives (Free zone law, Investment
regime, Software law, etc.) and high-quality infrastructure.
Despite establishing the conditions to become an important player in this industry, Uruguay
had to confront two principle challenges:

the sector

global services export sector.

investment and 28.4 percent in employment.

Amount: US$13 million (IDB Financing $10 million)
