International Industry Expo 2024 will take place at the BMICH from June 19 to 23.
Organised by the Ministry of Industries and the Industrial Development Board (IDB), this year local and international industry leaders across 25 industry sectors will take part.
President Ranil Wickremesinghe will be the chief guest on the opening day.
With over 1,300 stalls, the exhibition offers a rich tapestry of experiences designed to inspire, educate and and facilitate vibrant displays of cutting edge technology, interactive demos and meaningful connections directly with manufacturers.
The aim of organising this event is to demonstrate the status and future potentials of the Sri Lankan industrial sector and envisage the strategic success of the exhibition as the empowerment of entrepreneurial mindset in Sri Lankan society to opening the gateway for budding entrepreneurs to step into the global market arena and thereby uplift the country towards an export-oriented manufacturing economy.
Industrialists who participate in the exhibition receive the opportunity to share the existing knowledge in their sectors to fill the technological gaps in local manufacturing and to discuss and identify the challenges in sustaining a business and solutions for resolving or mitigating them through Business to Business meetings.
Business to Consumer meetings have been planned to focus intently on making customers feel wanted and appreciated.
One of the International Industry Expo 2024 highlights is the chance to learn from over 25 top industry leaders through industry seminars. These sessions cover various topics, from emerging trends and innovations to best practices and strategies for success in today’s dynamic marketplace.
Attendees can gain constructive ideas and valuable insights to shape their business strategies and propel them toward sustainable growth and prosperity.
Underscoring the green technologies that promote the use of renewable resources, conserve the use of energy and natural resources, encourage a healthy and improved environment for all forms of lives, zero greenhouse gas emissions, and minimise the degradation of the environment with the theme: “Go Green Industry”, the first International Symposium on Green Industry Initiative for Sustainable Industrial Development – 2024 (“ISGSD 2024”) is also planned parallel to the International Industry Expo – 2024.
This provides an excellent opportunity for academia to showcase their research interests and outcomes. The best research and case studies will be honoured at the International Industry Expo – 2024 Green Awards.
In a coordinated effort with the upcoming exhibition, a National Vehicle Parade involving over 25 vehicle assembly companies across the country is scheduled to commence from Galle Face ground on June 18, making its way to the BMICH premises. Simultaneously, the Industry Green Awards Ceremony, recognising sustainable green industries, will coincide with the inaugural international conference promoting a culture of sustainable industrial development, known as the Green Industry Initiative for Sustainable Industrial Development, on June 20 and 21 at the BMICH.
