Zafrales, a startup founded by Mauricio Pintado, a graduate of the Specialization Diploma in Human Resources, and Rodrigo Pereira, won the Agtech Summit Uruguay 2018.

The competition was aimed at individuals interested in agricultural business development who want to learn about the latest trends in innovation in software and electronics as applied to the agricultural industry.

The event took place at the Technology Park of the Uruguayan Technology Laboratory (LATU) on August 23, 2018.

This distinction qualifies them to compete at the regional level in the 2018 Agtech Conference, which will take place on October 10 and 11 in Buenos Aires.

The startup, which began its incubation phase at the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) in 2017, aims to address the challenge of hiring certified seasonal or temporary workers for the agricultural sector. It provides services to family-owned and corporate businesses in the fruit, vegetable, wine, and agro-industrial sectors.
