Lessons Learned: Establishing a Facility in Costa Rica
Once you decide to open a facility in Costa Rica, there’s little point in reinventing the wheel. Take advantage of what others have learned who went through the process before you. This session will feature a panel of speakers who can share their insights, obstacles overcome, and best practices from having gone through the process already. They will offer their “lessons learned” to anyone interest in benefiting from being able to avoid the challenges they encountered.
