In a global context marked by the search for efficiency in the supply chain and geographic diversification, Costa Rica has emerged as a strategic destination for nearshoring in Latin America.
According to the recent JLL report, “Nearshoring – Unveiling Latin America’s Potential,” Costa Rica stands out for its favorable business environment, its highly qualified workforce and its political stability, consolidating itself as a nerve center for global companies, especially in the life sciences and technology sectors.
The report highlights that Costa Rica is one of the most business-friendly countries in the region, thanks to its political stability and its commitment to transparency.
This is reflected in the country’s high rating in key indicators such as country risk and ease of doing business. Costa Rica has created an environment conducive to foreign investment, supported by a competitive tax regime and a series of incentives for international investors.

The availability of a highly skilled workforce, with more than 60% of workers holding a college degree, has been a key factor in this attraction.
Furthermore, Costa Rica’s commitment to sustainability and environmental conservation has aligned the country with the corporate sustainability goals of many of these companies.
