We traveled with a delegation of more than 45 people from the ICT industry in Uruguay, joined by Diego Sastre and Ignacio Duarte, members of the board of Pyxis. The main objective was to promote cooperation and investment in the sector.
From Pyxis, our CEO Diego Sastre valued the mission very positively. "China's interest in opening up and connecting to the Western world could be seen very clearly, which presents us with a huge world of possibilities and opportunities. In addition to that, there is a very good harmony between governments, a very important element for the Chinese business culture".
Pyxis in particular had a very specific objective: to get to know the Chinese people and culture, in order to evaluate possible alliances and collaborative work in the future. In that sense, Sastre highlights that China shares many of the challenges faced by the industry in Latam. Therefore, he understands that "we can add value to their production, especially in what has to do with the interaction with the West".
On the other hand, he understands that it will be essential to overcome some difficulties such as the time difference, the distance and the language barrier, strong points to overcome in order to advance in the collaboration and to be able to exploit these opportunities.
On the other hand, the trip was an excellent opportunity to share quality time with authorities from different institutions, government agencies and other partners in Uruguay. "This aspect is the high point of all the missions organized by Cuti in which I have participated and the trip to China was no exception. I think it is very valuable that government, education and business have come together to carry out this exploration. Only very united and coordinated can we overcome the challenges presented by an ICT market like the Chinese one", says Sastre.
The mission takes on special importance in a market like China, where the businessman strongly values the endorsement of the government against foreign companies.
And the work continues...
From the trip, Pyxis had the opportunity to understand the scope that exists to foster alliances with Chinese companies as business partners. In that sense, he understands that it is a complex task, with many challenges to face. "In the particular case of Pyxis, the fact of having a partnership with SAP can facilitate the task and, in fact, some collaboration actions were initiated during the mission", he concludes.
