CINDE

Through an exponential and collaborative ecosystem to boost people-centered solutions, Costa Rica has proven to be the right partner to reach sustainable productivity and drive investment with a purpose.

Home to over 400 high-tech companies, the country has become a strategic hub in the heart of the Americas, where companies can grow smarter, and better, instead of at all costs.

Such companies have invested in Costa Rica with the advisory and guidance of CINDE, the subject matter expert in FDI, (former IPA of Costa Rica), which is a private, non-political, and non-profit organization. CINDE is present throughout the entire lifecycle of investment for these multinational leading companies.

Ranked in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 as the world’s top institution in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), by the International Trade Center, CINDE has promoted FDI in strategic sectors such as Smart Manufacturing, Knowledge-Intensive Services, and Health & Wellbeing, to generate employment and greater opportunities for the Costa Rican population, and contribute to the social and economic development of the country.
