San Jose, Costa Rica. March 29, 2022. Today the cloud data migration company
Hakkoda inaugurated its Costa Rican offices. The company announced its arrival to the country last October and now has a modern center set up for work and training in
cloud data platforms, data governance,
machine learning and app development.
The new facilities, located in Ultrapark II, Heredia, represent an investment of US $8 million for the company, which expects to hire 150 skilled employees this year.
Founded in July 2021 in the United States, Hakkoda focuses on helping its customers become data driven organizations. The company’s main goal is to help companies adopt new
technologies and methods to accelerate the value of data.
In Costa Rica, Hakkoda has found the right human talent and conditions for its needs: “The impact we have on our clients is based on a passionate, experienced team. Costa Rica is a strategic partner for Hakkoda since it provides skilled talent in the same time zone as our clients in the United States,” affirmed Patrick Buell, VP of Consulting and co-founder.
The company delivers all its services in English for the North American market and hopes to expand its scope during the next three years.
According to Foreign Trade Minister Andrés Valenciano, “Costa Rica is a
knowledge-intensive economy and has positioned itself as a technological epicenter in Latin America. Thanks to a solid investment attraction strategy, backed by our value offer, we have been able to strategically partner with world-caliber companies such as Hakkoda. This investment will bring industry 4.0 opportunities, based on industrial process digitization, which contribute to the competitiveness and marketing strategy Costa Rica exports to the world.”
