Some of the most internationally recognized companies have been doing business in Costa Rica since 1980. A great number of factors have contributed so that Costa Rica can be an attractive and productive destination for their offshore operations.
A very solid established democracy along with the political, economical and social stability, are the two main characteristics Costa Rica is known for among foreign investors.
But it is the Costa Rican workforce what is considered maybe the single most important attraction to those investors, due to its high levels of education, as well as English and computer skills.
The country also provides a strategic location in the center of the Americas, preferential access to strategic markets, foreign investment incentive regimes, international Standard of business infrastructure and high quality of life.
In retribution, multinationals established in Costa Rica provide high-value employment opportunities, and a new revitalized work culture.
