The Evolution Free Zone, located in Grecia Canton, Alajuela Province, was inaugurated on Tuesday, announced CODE Development Group, the firm in charge of building the new business park.



According to the firm with an investment of more than $200 million, the business park will host six international companies as part of the country's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) strategy to create about 20,000 jobs.



The trade zone opened its doors with top Life Sciences companies, such as Johnson & Johnson MedTech, AVNA, Inari Medical, Accudyn Products Inc., Intricon Corporation and Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical.



"These international firms will make this free trade zone a development pole that will enhance the value chains and competitiveness of the communities of Alajuela, San Ramón, Grecia, Atenas, Naranjo, Palmares, Poás, Zarcero and Valverde Vega, " said the company in its statement.








It is estimated that 80% of the job profiles at the business park will be composed of manufacturing operators and technicians. The main requirements include having completed at least the ninth year of high school education and having a basic knowledge of English. 



Operator skills will focus on sophisticated manufacturing processes. Technical careers in quality, manufacturing, metal mechanics and precision mechanics are desirable for technical positions. Those interested in applying for a job vacancy should contact the business park by emailing infoevolutionfz@code-cr.com.



Even though new international companies are creating jobs in Costa Rica, the unemployment rate is 6.7%, according to the National Employment Survey. Data recorded from June to August shows more than 162,000 people without registered jobs. Of these, 87,000 are men, making up 53% of the unemployed people in the country.



Costa Rica's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) strategy goal is to attract more international companies' investment. This week, the California, U.S.-headquartered, Applied Materials, one of the top companies specializing in semiconductor manufacturing announced the opening of its operations in Heredia Province.
