February 25, 2021 - WTC Montevideo Free Zone, the Free Trade Zone of Services that attracts global technology companies.After an investment of USD 45 million, last December Tower 2 became operational, consolidating the growth of WTC Montevideo Free Zone, the Free Trade Zone Complex. The new tower is located next to Tower 1, where over 200 companies and 1,500 people working in give proof of a successful trajectory. As occupancy in Tower 2 evolves, there will be over 3,500 people working in both towers every day. With a modern infrastructure and 22 floors, Tower 2 offers about 16,000 square meters of offices (805 square meters each). Operations started with over 15 companies confirmed, mainly from the IT sector. Easily accessible from any spot in the city, it is strategically located inthe region and in the heart of Montevideo, with the seafront and a full range of services within less than 200 meters. Like Tower 1, the new Tower will be LEED certified, which guarantees that the building complies with all the regulations on the incorporation and use of materials related to the preservation and protection of the environment. Among the firms that have confirmed their operations in the tower, we highlight FinTech, a Uruguayan unicorn company, dLocal, the Argentinian technology giant and unicorn company, Globant, Deloitte, Etermax (a technology and creativity international company), blockchain industry firms and other professional services firms. Currently, there are several prospects for technology and professional services firms that wish to set up their headquarters in Uruguay and export services from here to the world mainly with Uruguayan talent. Tower 2 offers different occupancy options, from whole floors to fractions or the Evolution Center, a fully equipped space with all the services typical of a turnkey solution for companies composed of a maximum of 8 people. Our professional, multidisciplinary team provides solutions and support to clients during the project development: from the best commercial solution, organization of documentation to support during the planning and execution of the works. Likewise, the Free Trade Zone Complex offers full HR services, and at the community level, by means of conferences, events and activities that promote interaction and networking, personal growth and professional development are fostered.

WTC Montevideo Contributes to Disease Prevention

October 27, 2016 - MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY - For the third consecutive year, World Trade Center Montevideo and WTC Free Zone joined the Breast Cancer Prevention Campaign organized by Roche Laboratory, located in Tower 4. Banco Itaú, Basf and Samsung Life, companies located in the complex, were also actively involved in the action of lighting up the towers in pink, the dissemination of prevention messages and several other activities. October is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Montevideo, like other major cities in the world, turns pink, as a symbol of thousands of women fighting the disease. On October 4th, World Trade Center Montevideo opened its doors to the fight against breast cancer by organizing an activity to reflect upon the disease and by lighting up the towers in pink throughout the month. In the lobby of Tower 4 an art exhibition called Vivir con él (Living with it) was held. Nineteen renowned artists took part in it and, through their work, made us reflect on the hope, the struggle and the strength of many of our women who have fought breast cancer. The exhibition was co-organized with Roche and World Trade Center Montevideo, and the funds raised through the sale of works of art benefitted Clara Berenbau’s Foundation. The opening event was very well-attended by guests and the press, who acknowledged the high quality of the exhibition and the participation of outstanding artists: Olga Armand Ugón / Virginia Barranguet / Eduardo Bolioli / Claudio Chanquet / Martha Escondeur / María Etcheverry / Rita Fischer / Fernando Fraga/ Guillermo García Cruz / Santiago Giani / Mane Gurméndez / Gastón Izaguirre / Jorge Mato / Marcos Medina / Mariana Olaso / Virginia Patrone / Sergio Porro / Dani Scharf and Felipe Secco.
