A new digital platform aimed at connecting Sri Lankan entrepreneurs and professionals across the world was launched in Colombo today (15).
The platform, named the Global Lankan Entrepreneur Club (GLEC), was launched under the leadership of Parliamentarian Dilith Jayaweera, who conceptualised the initiative.
Speaking at the launch, Jayaweera said the initiative aims to foster entrepreneurship among Sri Lankans and promote wealth creation for the country.
He explained that the platform would provide equal opportunities for members to exchange knowledge, explore international business opportunities and access information related to entrepreneurship.
Mr.Jayaweera noted that entrepreneurship had gained significant attention in Sri Lanka following nearly a decade of efforts to promote an entrepreneurial mindset.
He also revealed that several successful Sri Lankan entrepreneurs living overseas had already expressed their support for the initiative.
He emphasised that owning a business would not be a requirement to join the platform, adding that its broader objective was to develop an entrepreneurial mindset among Sri Lankans both locally and overseas.
“Our objective is to develop an entrepreneurial mindset among Sri Lankans, both at home and abroad, and create wealth for our motherland,” he said.
Several entrepreneurs and professionals attended the launch event held in Colombo.
