Held from November 11 to 14, 2024, these events were part of PROCOMER’s strategy to position Costa Rica as an ideal destination for investment in strategic sectors: information and communication technologies (ICT), tourism infrastructure, medical devices, and semiconductors.

PROCOMER organized meetings with potential investors and representatives from strategic industries at each of these events.

These efforts were complemented by prospecting strategies to identify and attract potential leads.
