About Our Name
Tico Tech equates to innovation. The term “Tico” is the familiar way to refer to someone from Costa Rica. “Tech” is short for technology. One of the company’s founders is Costa Rican, and the term “Tico Tech” was commonly used in the household to suggest that some form of ingenuity was required to solve a problem. As a result, the company adopted this name in recognition of the spirit of creativity.
Tico Tech is proud to be a company of action and advancement. We love using our creativity to blaze new trails or find new solutions to questions and problems presented to us.
