We celebrate Candid Co.'s launch of operations; the company is dedicated to the design and production of dental aligners and supplies the U.S. market, which will further contribute to our export offer. We trust that they will find in Costa Rica excellent professionals with the necessary tools and skills and who will, together, contribute to the development and well-being of the Costa Rican population, in a sustainable and inclusive way."

Jorge Sequeira, the Managing Director of CINDE, added, “Convergent technologies will guide the future of life sciencesin Latin America, and Costa Rica is leading the race to become the hub of choice for leading companies in the industry.

We predict rapid company growth and prompt business diversification to other areas of even greater added value.”
