The World Economic Forum calls the Costa Rican workforce the top human capital in Latin America.
This can be attributed to the flourishing education sector in Costa Rica, which houses the region’s top universities, such as:
San Jose is called the Silicon Valley of Latin America due to the growth of information technology in the region.
The Global Innovation Index rates Costa Rica as the third-most innovative Latin American country. Major companies like IBM, Microsoft, Intel, etc., have their development centers and factories in the country.
The country has also developed its digital technology to encourage outsourcing in Costa Rica. It boasts full redundancy (alternate network devices) in telecommunication to ensure connectivity even if any network device or path fails. Additionally, Costa Rica has fiber optic submarine cables to provide fast connectivity across the country.
As a result of these efforts, the service sector, including BPO, customer support, IT outsourcing, etc., accounts for around 49% of Costa Rica’s foreign trade exports. This is twice the average found across most Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.
An outsourcing company would prefer to work with a development team that’s likely to stay for a longer time. This way, the company can enjoy uninterrupted workflow and save overhead costs like frequent hiring.
Additionally, continuing with the same team ensures data security which is vital while outsourcing software development services. For example, a company building a new product prototype needs to ensure that the idea doesn’t leak to its competitors.
If there’s a high attrition rate, it’ll be difficult to ensure data security as new employees may not be loyal to the company.
One of the critical factors that transformed the country into the technological hub of Latin America is the Costa Rican government’s commitment to education. The Costa Rican government puts aside 7.4% of the total GDP towards cultivating talent in the country.
Education in the country is affordable and focuses on Research, Science, Technology, and Math (STEM) to make Costa Ricans job-ready. As a result, it’s one of the most educated populations in Latin America, with a literacy rate of 97.86%.
Apart from good education, it offers many programs to support outsourcing. For starters, the MenTe program encourages women in STEM fields, and the San Jose Tech Pole Project transforms old buildings into tech offices and facilities.
Additionally, the Costa Rican government cultivates a favorable business environment by setting up free trade zones like the Lindora Park and the Euro Center. These areas offer cost-effective benefits like tax incentives under the Free Trade Zone Regime to encourage multinational companies to set up businesses and invest in the country.
Companies can enlist the help of the Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency to check out the investment opportunities in the country.
Our developers participate in client scrums in real-time. Concurrent video calls & screen shares mean obstacles are addressed immediately.
Located in Central America, Costa Rica uses the Central Standard Time Zone, which is just two hours behind countries like Canada and the US. The real-time communication and overlapping work hours make Costa Rica a convenient nearshore outsourcing destination for Canadian and US companies.
Companies offshoring from other countries can choose a working shift closer to their home countries’ regular work hours
