Under the motto “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life“, it was held the 2015 edition of the Milan Expo. Uruguay was present with a dazzling pavilion designed by the architects of INAC (National Meat Institute), focused on offering visitors a multisensory experience approach to our country.
About 450,000 people visited the spectacular three-story structure, built with reusable wood and steel and conceived under the theme “Life grows in Uruguay“.
In it, visitors were greeted with information about our country, highlighting both the quality of its agro-intelligent production, through the use of renewable energy, latest-generation technology and the social progress that position us as leaders in Latin America, in terms of quality of life and respect for human rights and diversity.
