Investing in Costa Rica for more than 27 years
Intel is proud to call Costa Rica home, and we’re committed to creating a better tomorrow for our community.
Build the future of technology with us
The Costa Rica site is a dynamic hub within Intel's Americas operations, exemplifying a robust ecosystem that encompasses a strong design center, corporate functions, and manufacturing and supply chain operations.
The site's unique composition, hosting 11 out of Intel's 14 business units, fosters an environment rich in synergy opportunities that are unparalleled within the company—all while building on our commitment to corporate responsibility through our RISE strategy.
We will invest $1.2 million in the next two years to keep creating hundreds of new jobs. We hope you’ll join us.
