LAVCA recently participated in The Costa Rica Investment World (CRIW) conference held in San Jose, Costa Rica on April 14-15, 2010. As part of the panel on Development of Private Equity and Venture Capital Funds in Central America, LAVCA presented alongside Aureos Capital and NORFUND Latin America to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the region to grow its investment potential. While Central American countries, and particularly Costa Rica, continue to attract investment and push for policies to strengthen private equity and venture capital in the region, there remains the pressing need to establish vehicles for fund formation.
The event attracted more than 105 foreign investors and provided networking and education through a series of panels focused on Costa Rica’s investment environment and target sectors.
