Given the participation of all key state entities in the confab, participants would be able to build initial contacts as well as find out first hand the business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka. The government of Sri Lanka is engaged in an aggressive development programme and the continuous progress in developing the ease of doing business environment in the country have expanded the business/investment opportunities in key economic sectors. The country’s geographical positioning in the Indian Ocean and the many trade agreements as well as trade concessions enjoyed by Sri Lanka have made the country a business hub in the South Asian region.
