Developed on 269 hectares of reclaimed land adjacent to the Colombo coastline, Port City Colombo has operated as a special economic zone (SEZ) since 2021. Over the years, it has rapidly evolved into a hub for high-value service-sector investments, attracting leading international firms in finance, technology, and professional services.
The judging panel commended PCC for its investor-friendly regulatory environment, competitive tax incentives, and robust legal framework, which together have positioned it as one of the region’s most promising destinations for knowledge-based industries.
This global recognition further underscores Sri Lanka’s emergence as a key player in the regional service economy, showcasing the country’s growing capability to attract and sustain foreign direct investment (FDI) in cutting-edge sectors.
Officials from Port City Colombo stated that the award reflects the success of its vision to become South Asia’s premier financial and innovation hub, paving the way for a new era of economic growth and international collaboration.
