San José, Costa Rica, March 27, 2025. Acquia, the leader in open digital experience software, has announced the opening of its new Center of Excellence (CoE) in
Costa Rica.
This strategic expansion aims to enhance the company’s operational agility while tapping into the region’s highly qualified
talent pool. Founded in 2007, Acquia has established itself as a global leader in digital transformation, combining the flexibility of open-source technology with enterprise-grade capabilities.
This powerful combination enables organizations to create innovative, secure, and scalable digital experiences.
"The decision to establish operations in Costa Rica is based on the country’s political stability, investment-friendly environment, and high-quality education system, which produces professionals with excellent English proficiency. With Acquia’s expansion into Costa Rica, we are broadening access to global talent and strengthening our ability to deliver cutting-edge digital experience solutions for our clients," said Tawny Barnett, Country Manager of Acquia Costa Rica.
The new CoE in Costa Rica will play a key role in areas such as sales, technical support, customer management, and software development. It will also oversee technical account management, human resources, and cloud operations, among other functions. Acquia currently employs 70 people in Costa Rica and plans to expand its workforce in the coming months, reaffirming its commitment to growth and
innovation in the region.
Marianela Urgellés Batalla, Managing Director of CINDE, highlighted the significance of this milestone:
