Technology Incentives

Build your tech company in El Salvador.

El Salvador's Innovation and Manufacturing Incentives Law grants tax exemptions to AI, software, semiconductor, robotics, and advanced manufacturing companies. Combined with a tech-friendly regulatory stance and a growing English-speaking workforce, El Salvador is positioning to capture LatAm tech investment.

01 · Section

15-year tax holiday

Qualifying technology companies receive a 15-year exemption on income tax, capital gains, import duties, and municipal taxes.

02 · Section

AI and emerging tech

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, semiconductors, robotics, and bioengineering are explicitly covered. Software development qualifies broadly.

03 · Section

Free Trade Zone framework

Existing FTZ legislation provides additional incentives for export-oriented manufacturing and services. Combinable with the technology law.

Talent + cost
