Uruguayan technology and engineering have opened up new connections in Paraguay

Digital solutions to improve processes, technologies applied to production, and specialized expertise in architecture, engineering, and construction were part of Uruguay’s offering in Paraguay. A delegation of 20 companies traveled to Asunción to gain firsthand insight into market needs and forge new business connections.

The mission, held on August 5 and 6, combined two areas of knowledge-intensive services with potential for synergy. On one hand, technology companies offered solutions for digital transformation, automation, security, management, and biotechnology. On the other hand, architecture, engineeri

ng, and construction firms brought expertise in infrastructure, design, modeling, installations, and environmental solutions.
The companies held more than 160 meetings with potential clients, partners, and Paraguayan organizations. Each company had a personalized agenda for the two-day event, prepared in advance by the Paraguayan Industrial Union based on their business objectives and the characteristics of their proposals.

The mission brought together Linsu Ingeniería, Enginlabs, Mikadoo, BeMetaBIM, ATRES, Laps Arquitectos, Bim.Uy, Estudio Pittamiglio, SIE Electrical Engineering Solutions, and TEYMA from the architecture, engineering, and construction sector. The technology delegation consisted of metaBIX Biotech, Credifama, Digital Henka, Netuy, SAICO Sistemas, Flokzu, LoopStudio, DaMap, Mambo, and Datasec.
The itinerary made it possible to showcase Uruguayan capabilities to decision-makers and to condense into two days a prospecting process that, if conducted individually, would have taken several months. The initiative was supported by Uruguay XXI and coordinated by the Uruguayan-Paraguayan Chamber of Commerce, CUTI, CUSAI, and the Uruguayan Chamber of Construction.

For engineering-related companies, Paraguay offers opportunities tied to the growth of its infrastructure and productive activity. Estudio Pittamiglio identified opportunities in industrial effluent treatment and in water infrastructure projects for industrial parks. Its director, Marcelo Pittamiglio, particularly valued the diversity of counterparts included in the agenda, which broadened the perspective on available opportunities. The company is already following up on these contacts and plans to take advantage of an upcoming visit to the country to resume some of these discussions.

Enginlabs, which participated for the second time in a mission to Paraguay alongside Uruguay XXI, also highlighted the opportunity to engage directly with decision-makers. Among the contacts established was the Asunción Traffic Department, which expressed interest in the company’s solutions and sent additional information following the meeting. “The prospects are good. It depends on what happens in the coming months,” said its director, Martín Ferreira.

The Paraguayan market also showed potential for incorporating technology into productive sectors and organizations seeking to modernize their operations. metaBIX Biotech received a favorable response to its proposal for predicting outbreaks through bioinformatics analysis, particularly among animal protein producers. Following the mission, the company identified opportunities for joint projects in the pork and poultry sectors.

For Mambo, the experience allowed it to validate its service in a new market and identify demand for solutions to scale up internal communication and training. The company held eight meetings with corporate, academic, and public sector stakeholders. Some of these contacts have already led to new video calls and the preparation of concrete business proposals.
On August 6, the delegation also participated in a presentation at the Baker Tilly offices. Its CEO, Walter Hermosa, discussed Paraguay’s business climate, its key macroeconomic indicators, and the tax and legal benefits available to foreign companies. The visit also coincided with Paraguay Tech Week, which brought together numerous representatives of the Uruguayan technology ecosystem during the same week.

The mission resulted in a list of contacts that the companies will need to follow up on in the coming months. It also provided an opportunity to showcase Uruguay’s offerings, which combine technology, technical expertise, and the ability to develop solutions tailored to the needs of a nearby and growing market.
