Among the featured speakers and business leaders participating in the summit are Chris Knight, managing director of FT Locations, part of the Financial Times Group in the United States; Elena Gallego, director of Invest in Andalucía in Spain; and Jairo Londoño, country manager of Microsoft Costa Rica.

The conference offers business opportunities across a wide range of industries, including agribusiness, food, manufacturing, digital technologies, corporate services, creative industries, services, tourism, infrastructure and semiconductors.

The business meetings allow participants to discuss technical requirements, production capacity, commercial terms and sourcing opportunities directly with potential partners.

According to authorities, services account for 34% of Costa Rica’s export offering, followed by medical devices at 31% and the agricultural sector at 11%.

Beyond the summit meetings, participants will take part in visits to agricultural operations in northern Costa Rica and the Caribbean region, ornamental plant companies in the western Central Valley, and advanced manufacturing companies located in free trade zones and business parks.

Through site visits and business tours, buyers and investors will be able to observe operations firsthand, meet directly with company teams and gain a deeper understanding of the capabilities available throughout Costa Rica.

Officials said the visits are intended to give decision-makers firsthand information about the country’s productive environment and help support future commercial and investment decisions.
