AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Public Health: Chikungunya is still showing up in the U.S. only via travelers—89 Americans diagnosed after trips abroad, with zero local spread reported in federal surveillance through Aug. 11—so mosquito precautions and prompt clinician updates after fever and severe joint pain remain key. Environment & Restoration: Costa Rica’s mangroves are rebounding, with local community-led restoration efforts and new global research suggesting losses are slowing as natural regeneration offsets some historical decline. Digital Identity & Borders: Juan Santamaría Airport has started using biometric eGates, speeding eligible arrivals by matching facial data to passport credentials in seconds after a $3M upgrade. AI & Business in LatAm: Magnar, a Chilean legal AI platform, closed a $8M Series A to expand across Latin America, including Costa Rica, aiming to serve millions of lawyers with research, analysis, and drafting tools. Tech Policy: Meta is testing Community Notes in 16 Spanish-speaking Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, as it moves away from its professional fact-checking model. Health Tech: Nanox reported Q2 progress, including a Costa Rica distribution agreement and continued rollout of its imaging network and AI pilots. Education Tech & Skills: OECD PISA 2025 results show 15-year-olds reading, math, and science at the lowest levels since 2000, with heavy screen use and AI study tools linked to weaker performance.
