•
0 gefällt mir•624 views
Costa Rica has developed clusters in industries like software, IT services, medical devices, and animation through promoting foreign direct investment and linkages between multinational companies and local small and medium enterprises. One example is Costa Rica Animation Holding, a consortium that allows animation studios to share resources and collaborate on international projects. It has helped Costa Rica's animation industry grow and win projects, but faces challenges in areas like consolidating its international brand, developing venture capital, expanding education programs, and ensuring sufficient broadband infrastructure.
