Attracting Foreign Investment

The Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency (CINDE) is a unique institution that promotes foreign investment in Costa Rica. Its most unusual feature is that it is not a government body, but rather a private, non-political organization dedicated to supporting the Costa Rican Government in attracting these investments.

CRUSA has supported CINDE for more than 8 years, during which time this institution has worked to promote and facilitate the establishment of major companies in Costa Rica including Intel, Baxter Healthcare, SYKES, Western Union, Remec and Procter & Gamble, among others. CINDE’s efforts have indirectly helped to create more than 15,000 new jobs since 2001.
