The Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining (MIEM), the Ministry of Tourism and the IILA organize the VIII Italy-Latin America SME Forum, which takes place in Montevideo between April 15 and 17. The opening of the event took place on Tuesday, April 16, at the headquarters of CAF-Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (Ciudadela 1235, Enrique Iglesias room).
The Italy-Latin America SME Forum is a space for Italian-Latin American dialogue on public policies, business opportunities between companies and technological collaborations. It is focused on micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and sustainable regional development. Approximately 200 delegates from the 21 member countries of the IILA participate, that is, 20 Latin American republics—including Uruguay—and Italy.
The event is promoted by IILA with the financial support of the Italian cooperation. In Uruguay it has five thematic axes : agrotourism, agri-food industry (focused on the dairy sector; includes visits to the department of Colonia); timber sector, with support from the Technological Laboratory of Uruguay (LATU); fashion (with a focus on the wool theme), with the Chamber of Design of Uruguay as a partner; and information and communication technologies (ICT) applied to SMEs, a space in which the Chamber of Industries of Uruguay collaborates.
