More than 120 participants, technological leaders and authorities from both sides participated in a day with exhibitions and a business round in Concordia.
Last Thursday, November 12, the Government of Salto and the Municipality of Concordia held the binational meeting “AI and Business”, which brought together entrepreneurs, professionals, technological leaders and authorities to share experiences on artificial intelligence and generate new opportunities for business collaboration.
The activity included the participation of the general secretary of the Government of Salto, Walter Texeira Núñez, and the municipal president of Concordia, Francisco Azcué. During the day, presentations were held by representatives from Finnegans, AW Latam and Globant, who presented experiences and applications of artificial intelligence linked to business management and development.
The meeting included a business round that allowed us to exchange needs, present solutions and establish contacts between companies and professionals from both cities.
Pablo Da Cunda, head of the Innovation and Development Area of the Government of Salto, highlighted the importance of connecting the needs of the productive sector with the capabilities of technological companies.
“We want companies to be able to identify how to apply these tools to their daily challenges: improve management, optimize processes and develop new business opportunities. Creating a space where they can talk directly with those who develop these solutions is an important step,” he said.
Da Cunda also valued the joint work with Pedro Kohn, director of Innovation and Knowledge Economy of the Municipality of Concordia, to carry out this instance and promote exchange between business ecosystems on both sides.
“In Salto and Concordia there are companies, professionals and institutions with capabilities that can complement each other. These meetings allow us to get to know each other better, find common interests and start working on specific projects,” he added.
As a background to this connection, the binational innovation laboratory that has been promoted together with UTEC, the Catholic University of Uruguay and the Municipality of Concordia was highlighted. During the day, conversations were also held with the consuls of both sides about the possibilities of accompanying this exchange.
For the Government of Salto, the activity made it possible to bring technological tools closer to the local business fabric and strengthen links that contribute to innovation, competitiveness and the development of new opportunities in the region.
