La Lima Free Zone & Business Park is a premier industrial and business hub strategically located in Cartago, just east of San José, Costa Rica's capital city. Developed by Garnier & Garnier, one of the country's most respected real estate developers, the park has become one of Costa Rica's leading destinations for multinational companies seeking world-class infrastructure, talent, and a thriving business ecosystem.
What truly differentiates La Lima is its collaborative community and unparalleled access to highly skilled talent. More than 10,000 people work within the park's multinational operations, with 85% of employees residing in Cartago. This proximity significantly reduces commuting times, enhances employee retention, and supports a healthier work-life balance. The region is also home to the prestigious Instituto Tecnológico de Cartago (TEC University), recognized as the country's leading engineering university and a key source of talent in the disciplines most demanded by global industries.
Over the past decade, La Lima Free Zone has evolved from an ambitious development project into a dynamic business ecosystem hosting 23 multinational companies from six countries across advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and business services sectors. This remarkable growth is reflected in its export performance: from USD 400 million in exports in 2014 to a cumulative USD 4.6 billion in exports over the last decade. In 2024 alone, companies operating within the park generated USD 1.48 billion in exports, representing 7.3% of Costa Rica's total goods exports.
As La Lima continues its expansion, its vision remains clear: to further strengthen its contribution to Costa Rica's economic development, innovation ecosystem, and global competitiveness while doubling its impact in the years ahead.
Join one of Costa Rica's most vibrant and successful free zone communities, where world-class infrastructure, exceptional talent, and a collaborative business environment come together to drive growth and innovation.
