In the evolving global economy, businesses increasingly seek environments that deliver strategic advantages beyond traditional models. They require ecosystems that enable sustained competitiveness amid rapidly shifting market demands.
Evolution Free Zone exemplifies this paradigm by offering global companies a strategic location to invest in a skilled and resilient workforce , while serving as a cornerstone for sustainable and future-ready operations.
Within our Park, companies find a business ecosystem that cultivates quality employment —where people are empowered to grow, innovate, and contribute meaningfully to organizational success.
Nestled in the Western Region of Alajuela, Costa Rica, Evolution Free Zone benefits from its location in an area renowned for its highly skilled workforce. Since 2014, public universities have played a vital role in increasing the number of STEM graduates, continually strengthening the local talent pipeline.
At the same time, there is a strong focus on equipping younger generations with competitive skills through robust technical education — a system supported by the Ministry of Public Education (MEP) and the National Institute of Learning (INA), producing top-quality talent tailored to the industry needs.
Furthermore, with over 60,000 people commuting daily from this Region for work, the surrounding areas are known as “Bedroom Cities,” characterized by low congestion and calm environments.
The more than 20,000 quality jobs that Evolution Free Zone seeks to create through the installed companies, over the next 15 years, will attract a significant workforce, enabling more residents to work closer to home. This shift will promote a more balanced lifestyle and improve overall employee well-being.
Evolution Free Zone, backed by CODE Development Group — with over 20 years of experience in the development and management of industrial parks in Costa Rica — understands that genuinely supporting the companies operating within its business ecosystem involves paving the way for the Region’s top talent to access upcoming opportunities. Our Park accomplishes this through a series of actions, such as:
• Fostering strategic partnerships with public and private educational institutions.
• Offering customized training and talent development programs aligned with industry needs.
• Providing a tailored job board for industry-specific talent acquisition.
A private research study conducted by CODE Development Group revealed that the Western Region of Costa Rica currently has a population of 617,362—70% of which is of economically active age—representing a robust and sustainable talent pool for companies pursuing long-term growth. |
The synergy between our High-Tech Business Park and the growing interest in life sciences careers has already generated over 1,200 job applications — not only for the company currently established on-site, but also for five others preparing to launch operations soon. This momentum highlights the wide range of opportunities available at Evolution Free Zone.
With a strong commitment to promoting economic development, transformation, growth, and new opportunities, Evolution Free Zone is actively shaping a Next-Generation business ecosystem designed to boost the competitiveness of skilled talent and fostering a culture of innovation.
