Networking session for professionals and entrepreneurs from Uruguay in Barcelona

The Uruguayan professional and entrepreneurial community in the Barcelona area is becoming increasingly influential and deeply rooted in the city. To further strengthen the links between the community and the city, we are inviting Uruguayan professionals and entrepreneurs to this networking event, organised jointly with the Consulate General of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay in Barcelona.

The event will be in two parts; the first will be a presentation of resources and services by Barcelona City Council and the economic development agency, Barcelona Activa, for the Uruguayan professional and entrepreneurial community.

It will then feature accounts from Uruguayan entrepreneurs who have established themselves successfully in Barcelona. The event will conclude with a dynamic networking session involving all the event's participants and attendees.

If you are a Uruguayan professional in Barcelona, do not miss this opportunity to connect with other members of the Uruguayan community and exchange practical know-how and experience.
