Costa Rica presented its investment potential this Thursday at the CEOE headquarters, focusing on sectors with high potential for Spanish companies such as agro-industry, renewable energies, green economy, life sciences, medical technology, digitalization, infrastructure, mobility, and sustainable tourism.
The combination of macroeconomic stability, qualified human capital, and long-term vision positions the country as a particularly attractive destination for business projects with a regional vocation, which are no longer limited to traditional agricultural production —coffee, banana, and pineapple— but go much further into technological sectors with high added value, to which access to large tax incentives that can mean additional benefits of 30% for 6 years or more is added.
The Minister Counselor of the Costa Rican Embassy in Spain, Guisella Sánchez, and the Deputy Permanent Secretary of CEIB and representative of the Department of Relations with Ibero-America of CEOE, Miguel Ángel de Jesús, inaugurated the Costa Rica Investment Day, which served to highlight the potential of the Central American country as one of the most solid and attractive destinations in Latin America for foreign investment.
For her part, the CEO of PROCOMER, Laura López, presented many of the competitive advantages of Costa Rica to the Spanish businessmen present at the event, which is part of the promotional agenda that this Costa Rican institution is carrying out in Spain and Portugal and focuses on three strategic areas for the country: innovative agro-industry, high-value services, and tourism infrastructure.
“Costa Rica is not waiting for opportunities to come: we are going out to seek them in strategic markets and in industries that are currently redefining the global economy,” said Laura López, for whom “Europe represents a huge opportunity to diversify the origin of the investment that comes to the country and continue consolidating high value-added sectors.”
For her part, Guisella Sánchez emphasized Costa Rica’s commitment to a development model based on environmental protection, health, education, and attracting quality investment, stressing that the country has managed to consolidate a clear business vocation without renouncing sustainability and social well-being.
Throughout the day, the value proposition of Costa Rica as a platform for investment and growth was clearly presented, focusing on sectors with high potential for Spanish companies such as agro-industry, renewable energies, green economy, life sciences, medical technology, digitalization, infrastructure, mobility, and sustainable tourism. The combination of macroeconomic stability, qualified human capital, and long-term vision positions the country as a particularly attractive destination for business projects with a regional vocation.
