The initiative is part of the Cadiz Consortium's strategy to promote the growth and expansion of companies in its area, connecting points with other free zones and countries.
González and his team visited prominent innovation centers in the Uruguayan capital. One of the main stops was the Technological Laboratory of Uruguay (LATU), recognized as the largest technological and entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country, which serves as a meeting point for companies, educational institutions and research centers.
The delegation will participate in the XXVIII Ibero-American Free Trade Zone Conference, where it will seek to raise awareness of the projects of the Cadiz Consortium.
Another key space known to the Cadiz delegation was ceibal, an educational innovation center that emerged from the Ceibal Plan, which promotes the integration of digital technologies in teaching. Mariana MontaldoThe head of Internationalization detailed how they work to improve learning and promote innovation, inclusion, and personal growth. The connection with these innovative hubs is invaluable for the new Industry 4.0 model and the Blue Economy ecosystem that the Cádiz Free Trade Zone is developing around initiatives such as the accelerator. Incubazul and the project Blue Core.
In addition to the technological aspect, the delegation from Cádiz focused part of its agenda on the logistics sector. Fran González met with companies and operators, notably visiting the facilities of Costa Logística, one of the leading firms located in Zonamerica, the leading free trade zone in Uruguay.
“We’re keen to make the most of these kinds of trips,” Fran González noted. “We have an official agenda within the free trade zone meeting, but it’s also important to take advantage of the opportunity to visit other free trade zones and technology parks in the area where we can learn from the companies located there and their service offerings.” The connection is very important, as it allows us to think about joint projects and to support Spanish businesses that want to establish themselves in the area.. "
The Cadiz trade mission also included the participation of the Consortium's commercial director and the coordinator of Incubazul, and was also made up of other delegates from Spanish free zones, such as Gabriel Corujo (Gran Canaria) and Manuel Martínez (Tenerife), as well as representatives from the Vigo Free Zone, directors of Colombian free zones (Tayrona, Santander and Pacific) and Juan Opertti, executive director of the Uruguayan Chamber of Free Zones.
