Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade of the United States, Marisa Lago, traveled to Montevideo, Uruguay, to meet with senior Uruguayan government officials, civil society leaders and private sector representatives in what was the first high-level visit from the U.S. Department of Commerce to Uruguay since 2013. 

Under Secretary Lago participated in roundtable discussions with U.S. and Uruguayan business leaders, including women entrepreneurs, to hear from industry on Uruguay’s strategy for critical and emerging technologies such as clean energy. 

During the visit Uruguay and the United States signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), whereby the two countries will create a working group on new technologies to deepen government-private cooperation. 

The memorandum with the United States establishes a bilateral action plan for the development and deployment of critical and emerging technologies in the areas of semiconductors, artificial intelligence, data flows, clean energy, telecommunications, cybersecurity, and biotechnology.
