OSL take:
The ongoing economic activities in the country and the Sri Lankan government’s commitment to transforming the country into an e-economy have opened up a host of new business/investment opportunities in the country’s ICT and digital infrastructure development sectors. Local authorities are also focused on digitalization of systems in the state sector to improve efficiency and productivity. The local businesses engaged in the ICT and digital infrastructure development sectors continue to record growth and profits, indicating the growing business potential in these sectors. With Sri Lanka targeting on becoming an emerging business destination in the South Asian region, there’s a steady growth in the business/investment opportunities in country’s ICT and digital infrastructure development sectors. Foreign businesses/investors could therefore confidently explore the expanding opportunities in Sri Lanka’s ICT and digital infrastructure development sectors. Foreign businesses could also look at forming partnerships or joint ventures with local businesses engaged in the ICT and digital infrastructure development sectors with the aim of further expansion.
