Uruguay has a well-established software industry with more than 500 companies operating in the development of customized technological solutions. Software development is one of the main drivers of the ICT sector, and the export of software services ranks fifth in the country in terms of exports of goods and services.
The United States stands out as the main destination, accounting for 86% of software service exports. Uruguay is an excellent partner for nearshoring, thanks to its time zone, which is close to both the east and west coasts of the United States, its cultural affinity, and its highly qualified talent with a good level of English.
In recent years, service companies have begun to specialize in niche industries or technologies. As a result, there has been growth in high value-added development services specialized by business vertical, such as finance, healthcare, logistics, retail, and education, among others.
