A New Era of Opportunity: The Israel-Costa Rica Free Trade Agreement is Here.
We are thrilled to share a historic milestone that marks a turning point for the business communities in both Israel and Costa Rica. A couple of weeks ago, both nations officially signed a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA), signaling a deep commitment to economic synergy and mutual growth. For us at CRIL TECH, this isn’t just news—it’s a validation of our founding mission. We established CRIL TECH because we recognized the immense, untapped potential in connecting these two vibrant economies. Today, the gate we’ve been building is wider than ever, and we have the keys. What does this agreement mean for you? The FTA is designed to remove barriers and create a seamless flow of goods, services, and ideas. Key highlights include: Elimination of Tariffs: Over 90% of trade tariffs between the countries will be removed, making Israeli technology more competitive in Costa Rica and bringing Costa Rican excellence closer to the Israeli market. Streamlined Regulations: Reduced bureaucracy and aligned standards mean faster go-to-market strategies for startups and established enterprises alike. A Focus on Innovation: The agreement specifically emphasizes sectors like Agri-Tech, Health-Tech, Cybersecurity, and Sustainability—areas where the synergy between Israel and Costa Rica is most profound. Why Costa Rica? Why Now? Costa Rica is rapidly becoming a regional hub for multinational operations and sustainable innovation in Latin America. With a stable economy, a highly skilled workforce, and now a direct “green lane” to Israel, it is the ideal destination for expansion.
