Uruguay is a country with a strong Informational Technology (IT) industry, which has been constantly growing. Its IT revenue is generated from both domestic and international sales, demonstrating a process of ongoing internationalization. Considering 2021 sales generated by the sector represented 3.3% of the GDP, the growth in this industry presents significant future opportunities. However, a large part of this favorable growth has been due to the talent that works in companies within its local ecosystem. Uruguay has unmet demand in several of the roles necessary to carry out IT execution.
This study aims to analyze the potential talent in IT in Uruguay based on the people who possess specific skills related to the field, by understanding their characteristics and assessing the country’s positioning with respect to other countries in the region.
