The Sri Lanka Economic & Investment Summit 2026 (SLEIS 2026), hosted by The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, is set to commence with a prominent panel discussion focused on investment. This session will unite leaders from both the public and private sectors to delve into the investment opportunities within Sri Lanka as the nation progresses with its economic reform initiatives.
Scheduled for the inaugural day of the Summit, this discussion will highlight opportunities in key sectors, the supportive policies, regulations, and institutional frameworks available to investors, as well as the necessary reforms to enhance Sri Lanka’s appeal as a prime investment hub. Additionally, it will address the importance of fostering greater collaboration between the government and private enterprises to expedite investments, stimulate economic development, and generate sustainable value for the nation.
The panel will include notable figures such as Krishan Balendra, Chairperson of The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce; Mangala Wijesinghe, Chairman of the Export Development Board; Somasena Mahadiulwewa, Acting Director General of Commerce; and Vish Govindasamy, Board Member of the Board of Investment.
In addition to the panel discussion, the Summit is structured to promote direct interactions among investors, government agencies, and private sector representatives. This setup will allow investors to connect with essential investment promotion entities, regulatory bodies, and business leaders, facilitating discussions about investment prospects, understanding available support systems, and exploring potential partnerships.
Furthermore, dedicated business-to-business (B2B) meetings and networking opportunities will provide participants with the chance to engage with relevant organizations and companies, fostering investment facilitation, business partnerships, and enduring commercial relationships.
