Costa Rica Trade & Investment Summit 2025: A New Era of Opportunities
From September 1 to 5, 2025, Costa Rica will become a bustling hub for over 400 buyers and investors hailing from 45 different countries. This significant event, known as the Costa Rica Trade & Investment Summit 2025, promises to be Latin America's most influential gathering for those eager to explore export and investment opportunities.
The summit is organized by the Costa Rican Foreign Trade Promotion Agency (PROCOMER) and will uniquely combine export promotion and the attraction of foreign direct investments under one roof. This initiative aims to yield tangible results, foster strategic partnerships, and cultivate a long-term vision for economic collaboration. According to Laura López, CEO of PROCOMER, “Costa Rica stands as one of the most reliable and strategic partners for trade and investment in both North and South America, providing access to two-thirds of the world's GDP and an optimal business location. Our value proposition amalgamates quality, sustainability, and innovation with a proven ability to bridge markets.”
The 2025 summit is set to host over 1,000 businesses, including local exporters, suppliers specializing in foreign investment projects, and multinational corporations already established in the country. This diverse mix will offer participants a premier, cross-industry networking platform. Over the course of five days, attendees will engage in more than 3,200 business meetings, sector-specific exhibitions, technical visits to free trade zones, and production centers, along with insightful keynote speeches from industry leaders such as Natalia Bayona (Executive Director, UN Tourism) and Didi Caldwell (CEO, Global Location Strategies).
The international delegation will represent key markets including the USA, Germany, UK, India, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and many more, highlighting Costa Rica's position as a central point for high-caliber talent, sustainability efforts, and business opportunities across the region.
During the first half of 2025, Costa Rica exported goods worth over $11 billion, with medical precision devices, agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, and electrical items leading the charge. This diverse range showcases a robust economy that consistently delivers sustainable, high-quality solutions to meet global demands. Moreover, Costa Rica continues to strengthen its status as a premier investment destination, hosting over 400 multinational companies thanks to its specialized talent pool and its free trade zone regime.
Key sectors, including medical devices, advanced manufacturing, technology, and business services, find a reliable environment for impactful expansion within Costa Rica. As the nation prepares for the summit, anticipation builds for the myriad of opportunities that lie ahead.
