July 11, 2017 (LBO) - The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Sri Lanka will organize Aadhayam 2017, a national trade fair, to help businesses expand and promote innovation, employment, skill development and local enterprise.
Aadhayam 2017 will create a favorable platform for Sri Lankan small and medium sized enterprise to connect with larger markets and expand business partnerships for national and international trade, UNDP said.
"As Sri Lanka aspires to become a higher middle income country, we believe that small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs present an important opportunity to develop the existing potential in the country," Lovita Ramguttee, country director, UNDP Sri Lanka said.
"However, it’s no longer enough to simply enable someone to produce more - we also need to make sure their products are competitive and that they have access to national and international markets so entrepreneurs can sustain their businesses.
