Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2007 from 6th - 8th

SUMMIT: Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2007 organized by The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Board of Investment, supported by the SAARC and Trade Promotion projects will be implemented jointly by CCC and the German Technical Co-operation (GTZ) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development (BMZ). The summit takes place from 6-8, June at Oak Room, Cinnamon Grand, Colombo.

Recognizing the value of the IT industry, and the importance of dealing with the issues and obstructions that restrict its growth, the entire IT session focuses on three main areas of IT enabled services, those of the software industry, mobile phone connectivity and knowledge process outsourcing and business process outsourcing.

The development so far of these related industries and its contribution to the economy and economic development will be looked into. Additionally, the further promising potential of these industries and how this growing potential could be exploited will also be looked into.

A panel of private sector and regulatory agencies' representatives will help stimulate discussion on what policies will reduce any impediments and help Sri Lanka reach the top as the ultimate BPO destination with quality IT enabled services.

The IT session would be chaired by Country Manager, IBM Worldtrade Corporation Kavan Ratnayake.
