Today we had the pleasure of listening to three different companies explain the importance of Costa Rican exports and how to continuously improve and grow. PROCOMER is a company that advises other businesses who want their goods exported. PROCOMER helps to guide them through the process and gives them resources to be successful. Costa Rica Aerospace Cluster is a group of 35 companies that come together and continuously develop technology software. We learned that prior to 2010 there was not a business or manufacturer that could complete all 9 processes it takes to complete a project. Now with the cluster, those processes are more efficient and continue to work as a team to create new products. Videndum is a camera head and tripod manufacturer where products are used to carry up to 75-kilogram cameras. After the presentations and tours, the group of us went to the wrong mall and ate at an American tap house. After lunch we started to walk to where Dr. G was, we spotted him on the road and all jumped in as fast as we could. Later tonight, after completing most of the reports and videos, we went to La45 a trendy burger and nacho restaurant where we ordered a pile of nachos. The Burgers there were bigger than our faces and we enjoyed unwinding with each other after a long day.
