Tiny Uruguay has such a small local market, companies there must think globally. Luckily, they're prepared to do so: Local education rates are rising, and expats such as Wi-Fi pioneer Pablo Brenner are returning. (He founded the country's first VC firm, Prosperitas Capital Partners.) These are some of the winners in this emerging tech hub.
Inetsat: A full-service TV content distributor, providing a platform, low-cost servers, and cloud-based monitoring to local TV networks at reduced cost.
Cubox: A software development studio founded by Evan Henshaw-Plath, who was also the first employee at Odeo, the company that would become Twitter.
Clinixon: A low-cost, cloud-based system for small health clinics to monitor their patients' progress.
