For the Minister of Foreign Trade, Alexander Mora, the announcement of NCI confirms Costa Rica’s value for the services sector. "Thanks to multiple efforts of the country’s vision and strategy, we have become one of the favorite destinations of companies seeking productivity and competitive conditions in the international services sector. More companies with outstanding international experience, such as NCI, rely on Costa Rica to establish their operations to serve highly demanding markets. NCI, a leading company in its industry, has positioned itself as one of the main players with an extensive product portfolio. Its service center in Costa Rica represents a key piece to support its market in North America.
