International Industry Expo 2024, one of the largest South Asian industry exhibitions, organised by the Industrial Development Board (IDB), under the purview of the Ministry of Industries, will be held from June 19-23 at the BMICH.
With over 1,300 stalls representing 25 industrial sectors, the exhibition offers a rich tapestry of experiences designed to inspire, educate, and facilitate vibrant displays of cutting-edge technology, interactive demos, and meaningful connections directly with manufacturers.
Minister of industries, Dr. Ramesh Pathirana said, “Industry Expo 2024 is committed to providing local industrialists, attendees, sponsors, and international buyers with the opportunity to explore the latest genuine product innovations of Sri Lanka, unparalleled opportunities for networking and collaboration, and discover exclusive quality and cost-competitive deals with trustworthy Sri Lankan suppliers.”
The chairman of the IDB, Dr. Saranga Alahapperuma said, “The International Industry Expo 2024 is a strategic driver to accelerate the local manufacturing sector where the country can develop insights and values to face global challenges as development of the manufacturing sector is vital for the growth of our country.”
The exhibition, which includes a locally assembled vehicle parade, provides a platform for industrialists to represent their creativity and novelty to a broader audience encouraging them to understand and become confident about prospective local and international markets.
The exhibition will stimulate academic, organisational, and individual researchers to enhance their engagement in research
commercialisation through “Innovation Arena 2024”, a special segment to unlock untapped market opportunities.
“Innovation Arena” will also motivate schoolchildren to become industrial entrepreneurs through the experience they gained in school industry entrepreneurial circles.
One of the highlights of the event is the chance to learn from over 25 top industry leaders through industry seminars that cover various topics, from emerging trends and innovations to best practices and strategies for success in today’s dynamic marketplace.
The first International Symposium on Green Industry Initiative for Sustainable Industrial Development – 2024 (ISGSD 2024) will be held parallel to the International Industry Expo.
