The Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) has launched a national

program to nurture 2,000 new entrepreneurs to be exporters during the

period 2017-2022, at regional level. The main objective of the program is to

encourage domestic enterprises to invest in export industries to achieve the

overall export target of $ 28 billion in 2022.

Simultaneously, new entrants have gained opportunities in local and

international marketing experience. Accordingly 2,000 non-exporter

entrepreneurs are planned to be transformed into exporters through

capacity, product and market development programs.

‘Shilpa Sena’ Science and Technology Exhibition was successfully held by

the Ministry of Science, Technology and Research at the BMICH on 18, 19,

20 and 21 July.

The exhibition was attended by over 400 public and private sector

organisations including the Sri Lanka Export Development Board. The

exhibition has provided a competitive platform for local entrepreneurs to sell

their products and strengthen business relationships and also find new

opportunities in the local market.

The Regional Development Division of the EDB organised a pavilion of 10

stalls for 20 selected SMEs under the 2000 New Entrepreneurs

Development Program who represented handicrafts and gifts, footwear and

leather goods, apparel, processed food and beverages, Ayurvedic products,

batik and handloom fabrics sectors. According to the evaluation done after

the event, more than 50 potential trade inquiries were received by the

exhibitors. Over Rs. 1 million spot sales were recorded during the event.

During the exhibition, the Trade Facilitation and Trade Information

Division of the EDB organised the EDB booth and provided

information to potential exporters and existing local businessmen

in order to encourage them to get into the export market. The EDB

officials also educated the visitors about the EDB’s 2000-Exporter

Development Program which was launched in 2017 to convert

2000 non-exporting enterprises to become export enterprises by

2020 in addition to making them aware of packaging and quality

standards needed to be complied to capture the international

market.

Furthermore, the visitors were briefed about the numerous

products and services offered by the EDB to the exporter

community in terms of organising delegations to international

trade fairs, conducting training and capacity development

programs, and providing information services.
