By San José, Costa Rica — Costa Rican technology companies are making a splash at London Tech Week 2025, demonstrating the nation’s growing strength in the digital sector. From June 10th to 14th, a delegation led by the Foreign Trade Promoter of Costa Rica (PROCOMER) is showcasing the country’s talent and export capabilities in areas such as software development, outsourcing, artificial intelligence, cloud technologies, and digital marketing.
The delegation, comprised of PROCOMER and innovative companies including WillDom, Pura Vida Growth, WAM Digital, Congero, Square Codex, and Toursys, aims to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and forge strategic partnerships with global businesses.
To understand the legal landscape surrounding Costa Rica’s burgeoning tech sector, we spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica, who offered valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges facing both domestic and international tech companies.
Costa Rica’s strategic location, combined with its skilled workforce and favorable tax incentives for tech companies, makes it an attractive destination for investment. However, navigating the legal complexities of data protection, intellectual property rights, and employment law requires careful planning and local expertise to ensure compliance and maximize success.
