MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY - Within the framework of its calendar of events, WTC Montevideo Free Zone organized two remarkable conferences. The importance of the topics discussed and the prestige of the speakers attracted different sectors of its business community and, consequently, both conferences were very well-attended.

These events are part of new services provided by WTC Montevideo Free Zone to its clients and to all the members of World Trade Center Montevideo Community.

On August 28, Michael Power, PhD in Economics from the University of Cape Town, MA in International Business and Law from Fletcher School, Tufts University and BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University, delivered a lecture entitled “The End of the World as we know it” at WTC 4 meeting room.

Invited by Compass Group, a company that operates from WTC Montevideo Free Zone, Dr. Power, a consultant, talked about the unexpected result of the Brexit referendum, and said that investors can no longer ignore the fact that globalization is putting the West under enormous pressure. Dr. Power identified the nature of this pressure, and explained the significance of the emerging markets and China for the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, from a domestic perspective and from the viewpoint of foreigners, who are rethinking their old views on these regions. At the end of the lecture, he highlighted the importance all this has in building a global investment portfolio.

On September 12, on the Tower’s 24th floor, Enrique Baliño delivered the Breakfast & Conference entitled "The Four Attitudes for Success", an event co-organized with AJE, a Young Entrepreneurs Association, and conceived as a contribution to training activities. With over 20 years of experience as an executive at IBM in the turbulent Latin American business environments, in this motivational conference Baliño presented several intangible factors related to attitudes that separate people and organizations that make steady progress from those which stagnate and collapse. Attitudes cannot be observed; yet, they form the habits that create the business and social environment we live in.

With unflagging energy, Baliño offered the audience a simple and effective recipe to take charge of their own destiny: "change your mindset and much of the work will be done".
