Costa Rica: Fourth largest exporter of high technology in the world
- Almost half of local manufacturing is sophisticated and includes integrated circuits, medical devices (intravenous sets, orthopedic implants and breast)
- Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore just above the country in percentage of sales
Costa Rica stands out in the world as the fourth largest exporter of high technology, surpassed only by three Asian countries: Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore.
The country can be located in this high range because nearly half of its sales from manufacturing (45%) relate to products developed with proprietary technologies. Another element is that there is innovation in production, which should be patented.
Philippines ranks first in the world, with 54% of its manufacturing being high tech, two percentage points lower ranks Malaysia and Singapore ranks third, with 46% of that produced with proprietary technologies.
Today, 90% of the 4,000 non-traditional products the country export to the world are medium and high technology products.
Emmanuel Hess, Procomer manager, said he also influenced the readiness of universities to adapt engineering professions, business and computing needs of enterprises.
