Invest Puerto Rico

What Invest Puerto Rico does

Invest Puerto Rico (InvestPR) is a private, non-profit economic development organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It serves as the island's official investment promotion agency, functioning as the central intermediary between multinational corporations, site selectors, and Puerto Rico's investment ecosystem. InvestPR coordinates with the Puerto Rico Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DEDC) to promote the Puerto Rico Incentives Code (Act 60) and facilitate site selection, workforce development, real estate assistance, and government coordination for companies evaluating or establishing operations on the island.

InvestPR's service portfolio includes business tools (Service Directory, Investment Opportunities portal, Workforce Dashboard, Impeller) and support services (Relocation Resources, Real Estate, Organizational Support, Workforce Support). Its primary customer segments are multinational manufacturers, bioscience companies, aerospace and defense contractors, technology and ICT firms, and professional services organizations. Notable facilitated investments include a $46 million biologics manufacturing facility by PharmaEssentia in Toa Baja (90+ direct jobs), and the organization cites relationships with Lufthansa Group, Bacardi, HP, and Big Four accounting firms as anchor investors.

The organization operates an enterprise field sales motion, engaging directly with site selectors and corporate decision-makers through familiarization tours, industry events, digital marketing, and coordinated government outreach. As a non-profit, InvestPR does not generate commercial revenue from its services; its operations are funded through government, private sector, and partner support. Its growth is measured in FDI deal flow, capital investment, and jobs created rather than revenue, with fiscal year 2025 reportedly showing significant growth in new business, investment, and jobs.

Comparable function to InvestPR — attracting multinational investment, facilitating site selection, coordinating incentives, and developing sector clusters — though at far greater scale and sophistication.

• UK Department for Business and Trade: UK government department responsible for trade policy and inward investment promotion. Comparable mandate to InvestPR at a national level — promoting the UK as a destination for foreign direct investment.
• JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization): Japanese government-related organization promoting trade and inward investment. Functions similarly to InvestPR in attracting foreign companies and supporting cross-border investment flows.
