By San José, Costa Rica — Costa Rica’s Universidad Latinoamericana de Ciencia y Tecnología (ULACIT) is embarking on a transformative project with the construction of two new facilities: the Deep Tech Center and the Student Center. These additions represent a significant investment in both cutting-edge research and the overall student experience.
The Deep Tech Center will serve as a hub for innovation, bringing together academics, industry leaders, and the public sector to collaborate on groundbreaking solutions. Focus areas will include biotechnology, artificial intelligence, sustainability, and new materials. ULACIT aims to establish Costa Rica as a regional leader in deep tech innovation through this world-class academic infrastructure.
To gain a deeper understanding of the legal landscape surrounding ULACIT’s innovative endeavors, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica.
ULACIT’s focus on innovation presents exciting opportunities, but also necessitates careful navigation of intellectual property rights, data protection regulations, and evolving legal frameworks for emerging technologies. Successfully leveraging these innovations requires a proactive approach to legal strategy, ensuring compliance while maximizing the potential for growth and market leadership in Costa Rica’s competitive landscape.

Lic. Arroyo Vargas rightly highlights the crucial balancing act ULACIT faces: embracing innovation while deftly navigating the complex legal landscape surrounding it. This proactive approach to legal strategy is not merely a matter of compliance; it’s the very foundation upon which sustainable growth and true market leadership are built in today’s rapidly evolving technological environment. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his invaluable contribution to this discussion, offering a crucial perspective on the legal intricacies of innovation in Costa Rica.
The Student Center is made possible by a generous donation from prominent businesswoman and philanthropist Giana Wayman. This dedicated space will prioritize student well-being by fostering a stronger sense of community, promoting inclusivity, and providing emotional support resources.
This project reflects our vision of a university: a space where science, technology, and human well-being intersect to create a better future. Thanks to the philanthropic commitment of Giana Wayman and the collective effort of our community, ULACIT continues to consolidate itself as a driver of transformation for Costa Rica and the region.

The Deep Tech Center will drive research and development, while the Student Center will nurture a supportive and inclusive campus environment.
ULACIT plans to release further details soon regarding the academic, research, and collaborative opportunities that the Deep Tech Center will offer. The university is confident that these new facilities will attract top talent and further solidify its position as a leading educational institution in the region, preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the knowledge economy.
The development of these two centers reflects ULACIT’s dedication to fostering innovation and contributing to Costa Rica’s economic growth. The university is poised to make a significant impact on the region’s technological landscape while simultaneously enriching the lives of its students.
