Sri Lanka Telecom to launch ‘National Digital Roadmap’ marking milestone in digital journey
Sri Lanka Telecom, which is the national telecommunication provider, is reportedly gearing to mark a special milestone in the country’s digital journey towards SMART Sri Lanka with the formal launch of the ‘National Digital Roadmap’ today (11).
The launch will take place under the patronage of Sri Lanka’s President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe at Nelum Pokuna in Colombo.
The proposed blueprint for integrated national digitization is to be presented through a comprehensive multi-faceted nexus of 16 pillars representing areas such as Smart Government, Smart Security, Smart Health, Smart Transportation and Mobility, covering all facets and processes of the nation’s socio-economic, infrastructural and administrative operations.
According to the local media, the occasion will also inaugurate the ‘Limitless You’ programme devised to consolidate the smooth segueing of Sri Lanka’s transition and transformation as a fully digitized nation; cement Sri Lanka Telecom’s primacy as the country’s undisputed industry leader in the Digital Age; and nurture the maturation of employees, customers and citizens in general as sophisticated members of a highly developed and technologically advanced society.
OSL take:
The launching of the ‘National Digital Roadmap’ by Sri Lanka Telecom that would set the path for Sri Lanka’s digital journey would also open up a host of business/investment opportunities in the country’s digital infrastructure sector. Also, the youth programme that is also included in the roadmap would help build a skilled workforce in Sri Lanka for the future. The Sri Lankan government has also offered incentives for companies engaged in the development of digital infrastructure. Foreign businesses/investors could therefore explore opportunities in Sri Lanka’s digital infrastructure sector.
