Pura Vida Tech: Democratizing the Future of Costa Rica

Pura Vida Tech is a voluntary, non-profit initiative of 1N1 and CIHUBS designed to democratize access to and application of Artificial Intelligence nationwide. Our purpose is to transform Costa Rica's exceptional human talent so that the country evolves from being a service exporter to a generator of intellectual property and its own solutions. Through free technology education, we seek to promote innovation, efficiency, and the creation of new opportunities for students, SMEs, and entrepreneurs.

Strategic Objectives

Technological Democratization

We seek to democratize access to cutting-edge technology in the educational sectors with the greatest potential for technical, scientific, and social impact at the national level.

Closing the Digital Divide

Our goal is to close the "credibility gap" that SMEs perceive regarding digital transformation, translating technological potential into tangible commercial value.

Promoting Entrepreneurship

We equip young people with advanced tools for entrepreneurship, innovation, and creative thinking, powered by the Artificial Intelligence ecosystem.

From Consumers to Creators

We transform students' innate technical curiosity into real market capabilities, turning them into active creators and leaders of the digital economy of the future.

Alliances for Progress

We understand that the success of technological democratization cannot be achieved alone. Therefore, Pura Vida Tech is the result of a deep strategic collaboration between 1N1 and CIHUBS.

Together with Juan Ignacio González, representative of CIHUBS, and the technical expertise of 1N1, we joined forces to identify, inspire, and empower national talent. This alliance is a fundamental pillar for raising the standard of innovation and directly contributing to the long-term technological and economic progress of Costa Rica.
