The transfer of technology and the scientific training associated with bioprospecting contracts have increased INBio s capacity to conduct research to address some of the health and agricultural problems facing the country. Overall, INBio appears to offer a successful example for others to follow. Nevertheless, many features of Costa Rican society and the very large amount of donations that INBio receives that indirectly support its bioprospecting operations may mean that other countries may be less successful in following INBio s example, and may not achieve the same level of benefits.
