What we can learn from Uruguay

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: South Africa and Uruguay have more than their location on the 34th parallel south in common. As developing economies of the Global South, they share many development challenges about which lessons can be drawn through research collaboration. Since 2017, the HSRC's Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators has worked with Uruguayan innovation scholar Professor Isabel Bortagaray, whose comparative analysis concerns innovation policy's role in addressing water and energy crises. As South Africa continues to grapple with persistent load shedding, what lessons can be drawn from Uruguay's transition to renewable energy?
