“International Industry Expo 2024” The Expo had been organized by the Ministry of Industries and the Industrial Development Board (IDB). The main objective was to create a platform to bring together industry related local & international stakeholders. This Expo had represent over 25 industry sectors and over 1300 exhibitors, covering a wider products and services portfolio from June 19-23. I felt some of our very local products like “SASA ORGINALS” shoes could have competed with international brands like Converse. Yet Sri Lankan industries often face challenges in effectively branding themselves on a global scale. Supportive policies and incentives from the government like this exposition can facilitate branding efforts by providing infrastructure, development finance, and easing regulatory processes can showcase Sri Lanka’s unique strengths effectively on the global stage.
