The Sri Lanka Export Development Board’s (EDB) inaugural “EDB Open Day” program, aimed at providing guidance to innovative entrepreneurs and encourage their participation in the export sector was held at the EDB premises last week.
Over a thousand budding entrepreneurs from across the island were present. The primary objective of the program was to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the fundamental knowledge required to navigate the complexities of the export sector. Through interactive sessions and one-on-one meetings with the EDB officials, each participant had the opportunity to gain valuable insights and guidance specific to their business goals. The program encompassed a range of activities and services tailored to meet the diverse needs of the participants.
The key areas covered during the event included comprehensive explanations of export procedures, insights into agricultural and industrial product markets, strategies for product enhancement, identification of potential export links, and offering guidance on conforming to international standards.
‘EDB Open Day’ served as a platform for the participants to provide feedback on the EDB’s services and engage with officials, thereby fostering a collaborative environment.
