Artisans in Uruguay

Hi everybody
I am currently living and working in South Africa and am a highly skilled artisan. I don't see any posts about artisans in Uruguay so I am wondering what the need is for skilled artisans. Most people enquire about english teacher posts and so on. Are there big industries in Uruguay , what are the quality of artisans and is  there scope to start one's own manufacturing/ engineering business?

Your input would be appreciated.

Hi Bovril,

Your ability to start a venture here is good from a legal/paperwork perspective.

There are very few (what I would consider anyway) big industries here. It's kind of hard to have big industries when your population is 3 million and change.
