By San José, Costa Rica — Samsung has reinforced its commitment to the Costa Rican market with the grand opening of a cutting-edge retail experience at Plaza Lincoln in San José. This new store isn’t just a place to buy products; it’s an interactive showcase designed to immerse visitors in the world of Samsung’s smart technologies, from the Galaxy S25 smartphone to SmartThings-powered home ecosystems.
The store’s centerpiece is the SmartThings platform, where customers can experience firsthand how different smart devices can seamlessly integrate to control everything from lighting and temperature to security and entertainment. This interconnected ecosystem not only promises increased convenience but also significant energy savings.
For a deeper understanding of the legal and business landscape surrounding Samsung’s presence in Costa Rica, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an experienced attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica.
Samsung’s operations in Costa Rica represent a significant investment in the country’s economy, particularly within the free trade zones. Their presence contributes not only to job creation but also fosters technological advancement and stimulates competition within the electronics sector. However, navigating the legal framework for foreign investment, intellectual property protection, and labor regulations remains crucial for sustained success in this market.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas’ assessment highlights a crucial point: while Samsung’s presence brings numerous benefits, navigating Costa Rica’s legal landscape remains paramount for long-term success. This underscores the importance of a stable and transparent regulatory environment to attract and retain foreign investment like Samsung’s, ultimately fostering continued economic growth. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his valuable contribution to this discussion.
Stepping into the Galaxy AI zone, visitors can delve into the transformative power of artificial intelligence and explore how it’s shaping the future of work, play, and daily life.
