Free zones, of which there are more than 800 in the Latin America region, are natural boosters of foreign trade.
Industrial parks are often strategically located near ports and airports as a result, facilitating logistics and access to international markets, whilst specific programs are designed to foster the export of goods and services, providing companies with a competitive edge.
Another remarkable aspect of free zones is the adaptability, digitalization, and innovation they have developed.
Indeed, these environments have transformed into competitive ecosystems in which companies find access to the latest technologies and collaborative spaces promoting research, innovation, and development, not only improving operational efficiency but also driving business growth.
Free zones also emphasize strong compliance, governance, and sustainability practices and implement robust frameworks to ensure regulatory adherence and ethical business conduct.
Governance structures are in place to promote transparency and accountability, fostering trust among investors and stakeholders.
Additionally, sustainability initiatives integrated into their operations focus on environmental responsibility and social impact, enhancing their appeal as investment destinations and supporting long-term viability.
