Uruguay makes large-scale investment projects easier with new fully digital procedure

Uruguay continues to strengthen its position as a reliable and business-friendly destination for international investment by advancing the digitalization of procedures linked to the investment process.

Companies seeking to submit large-scale investment projects to the Application Commission of the Investment Law (COMAP) can now carry out the procedure entirely online through the country’s Single Investment Window (VUI), a new step aimed at making investment processes faster, simpler and more efficient.

The new digital procedure, developed in coordination with the Ministry of Economy and Finance, is part of Uruguay’s broader strategy to facilitate the arrival and expansion of companies in the country by reducing administrative barriers and improving interaction with public institutions.

Through the VUI, investors can now centralize the management of strategic investment projects within a single platform, benefiting from greater efficiency, traceability and accessibility throughout the process.

The initiative is framed within Decree Nº 353/025 under Uruguay’s Investment Promotion framework, which provides incentives for projects of significant economic scale and promotes investments with economic impact, job creation and sustainability components.

The incorporation of this procedure reflects Uruguay’s commitment to building an increasingly modern, transparent and competitive business environment — a key factor for companies evaluating destinations for regional expansion and long-term investment.

Over the past years, Uruguay has accelerated the digital transformation of public services connected to investment, trade and business operations, with the goal of offering investors a more predictable and streamlined experience from the very first stages of project development.

By continuing to expand the services available through the VUI, Uruguay reinforces its role as a country that actively supports investment facilitation and works to make the establishment of companies easier, more agile and more secure.

For international companies looking for stability, institutional reliability and an efficient investment process, this new advancement represents another signal of Uruguay’s long-term commitment to attracting high-impact investments.
