“Our presence at MD&M West is a key opportunity to highlight the strategic advantages that Costa Rica offers as an ideal destination for Foreign Direct Investment, particularly in the Life Sciences sector,” said Mariola Sanchez, Director of Marketing and Business Development for CODE Development Group, developer of Evolution Free Zone. 

“Evolution Free Zone is the fastest growing business ecosystem in Costa Rica, which guarantees companies the ideal environment to operate successfully, offering strategic location and access to a pool of highly trained human talent in the industry, as well as world-class infrastructure and buildings developed under a focus on innovation, technology and sustainability,” she added. 

This high-tech business park has been operational since October 2024 and is in the process of constructing the first buildings that will house the operation of six leading Life Sciences companies such as AVNA, Inari Medical, Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Accudyn Products Inc., Intricon Corporation and Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical, which ensures a constant flow of innovation and generation of quality employment in the country, consolidating Evolution Free Zone’s projection of employing 20 thousand people over the next 15 years. 

According to Sánchez, Costa Rica offers great competitive advantages, such as a strategic location in the center of the American continent, commercial and geographic proximity to the United States (nearshoring / friendshoring), a historically stable political and legal environment, and a competitive tax incentive regime. 

In addition, it has a robust local value chain, highly qualified human talent and experience in serving the needs of sophisticated industries, such as Medical Devices, Smart Manufacturing, Semiconductors and Knowledge Intensive Services. 

Evolution Free Zone, strategically located in Tacares of Grecia, Alajuela, stands out for its direct access to the North Inter-American Highway and its proximity to the Juan Santamaría International Airport, which makes it the perfect business park for companies seeking to operate in a continuously growing market.
