Costa Rica, emphasizing innovation, technological advancements, and sustainable solutions, will showcase its strengths at MD&M West 2025 from February 4 to 6. The country aims to solidify its status as a premier destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) while maintaining its leadership as the top per capita exporter of medical devices in the Americas.

This participation is strategically geared toward forging high-value partnerships and attracting new investment projects. Through business meetings and networking activities, Costa Rica seeks to maximize opportunities and strengthen its presence in the global medical device industry.

“Our proven capabilities in advanced manufacturing, Costa Rica’s skilled workforce, political stability, and commitment to sustainability position us as a strategic partner for global trade and investment. Our goal is clear: to expand opportunities and generate employment that enhances Costa Rica’s well-being through FDI attraction and export growth. That is why it is crucial to leverage platforms like MD&M West, which foster business development and strengthen the country’s positioning,” stated Laura López, General Manager of the Trade and Investment Promotion Agency of Costa Rica (PROCOMER).

This year, Costa Rica will be represented at MD&M West 2025 by a delegation led by PROCOMER, featuring 15 exporting companies and four free trade zone parks. These entities specialize in high-precision manufacturing, cleanroom assembly services, automation technologies, and advanced packaging solutions.

At booth number 3339, the essential COSTA RICA Country Brand stand will serve as the hub for showcasing the nation’s cutting-edge products and services. The delegation will also engage in strategic meetings with international buyers and investors, reinforcing Costa Rica’s position as a key player in the global medical device industry.

“La Lima Free Zone has participated in previous editions of MD&M, reflecting our commitment to the medical device sector and our strong ties to this important trade show. We take pride in the fact that several companies operating in our business park are also present at this event. Our value proposition includes adaptable spaces and access to a highly skilled workforce, thanks to our proximity to major academic institutions in the country. Additionally, we boast the lowest employee turnover rate in the nation, making us a strategic ally for global companies seeking to grow in a collaborative and competitive environment,” commented Carolina Umaña, Commercial Manager of La Lima Free Zone.

Marko Mileta, General Manager of Tico Electronics, added: “Tico Electronics, traditionally focused on the aerospace industry, has seen increasing interest in its electromechanical products for the medical sector since the pandemic. This year marks our first participation in MD&M West, made possible thanks to PROCOMER’s support in consolidating local suppliers at the Costa Rica stand. The country’s strong presence in the medical industry, driven by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from multiple Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), underscores the importance of initiatives like this in strengthening the local supplier ecosystem.”

The United States remains the top destination for Costa Rican medical device exports, accounting for 64% of the sector’s total. With over 1,400 exhibitors and attendees, MD&M West presents a prime opportunity for Costa Rica to reinforce its position as a global leader in life sciences and advanced manufacturing, showcasing its competitiveness and industry excellence.

By the end of 2024, Costa Rica’s total exports to the U.S. surpassed $5.915 billion, underscoring the market’s significance to the country’s economy and its role as a key strategic partner in Costa Rica’s global expansion. This strong performance highlights the high quality and reliability of the national supply chain while unlocking further opportunities for industry growth.
