Resumen
La competitividad territorial de los cantones de Heredia es evaluada en el presente documento por medio de un índice que pondera cinco componentes agregados básicos: económico-empresarial, socio-demográfico, infraestructura, institucional y ambiental. Los resultados permiten identificar las debilidades y fortalezas competitivas del cantón particular, proporcionando información valiosa para el empresario inversionista, para evaluar la permanencia o apertura de una actividad productiva en el territorio y para las autoridades locales, al identificar las variables por mejorar. El índice de competitividad territorial clasifica los cantones según el nivel de competitividad asociado, identifica las variables que explican dicha competitividad y la ubicación de las pymes en una localidad. Además compara los resultados del ICT con otras metodologías utilizadas en el país para medir aspectos económicos, de desarrollo humano, social y municipal en los territorios, permitiendo una visión amplia de la competitividad asociada al cantón particular.
