Uruguay XXI celebrates the first anniversary of the Single Window for Investments (VUI), a strategic tool designed to enhance the business climate and strengthen the country's position as a preferred destination for foreign investment.

Since its launch on November 28, 2023, the VUI has facilitated and optimized the setup processes for both domestic and foreign companies, streamlining required procedures and promoting a more agile and transparent business environment.

The development of the VUI has been structured in two fundamental stages. Initially, it was established as a centralized information portal guiding investors on the procedures and requirements for operating in Uruguay. This first phase successfully integrated 82 procedures, 72 decentralized and 10 linked to the Single Window for Foreign Trade (VUCE).

The second stage, currently in progress, aims to digitize all procedures and implement a unified system where companies can manage them directly through the portal. This phase also focuses on connecting the involved agencies and enabling real-time information sharing, further consolidating the system's efficiency.

In its first year, the VUI achieved significant milestones, including three interinstitutional cooperation agreements signed with key agencies, a procedure in pre-production developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture, and Fisheries, presentations showcasing progress at international forums such as the VUI Paraguay and the MERCOSUR SGT Nº12 Working Group, and the planning of new projects with the Central Bank of Uruguay and the Ministry of Environment, set to begin in 2025.

The VUI not only centralizes valuable information for investors but also facilitates and accelerates processes, substantially improving Uruguay's business environment.
