*13 new service companies*
This year’s first 6 months, 13 high-technology firms started operations in Costa Rica,
the Costa Rican Coalition of Development Initiatives (CINDE in Spanish) disclosed. The
organization said that this adds 2,500 new jobs to an area that already employs 15,000
people who work for 53 companies. From software design to prototype testing, these
companies focus on highly sophisticated activities, CINDE sources pointed out.
