The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce has officially announced the 2025 Economic and Investment Summit, scheduled for December 2 and 3 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo. Held under the theme “Gateway to Growth – Asia’s Emerging Opportunity”, the summit is expected to play a pivotal role in charting Sri Lanka’s economic course as it moves from post-crisis stabilisation to a phase of forward-looking reform and sustainable development.
According to a statement from the Chamber, the summit will serve as a strategic platform for engaging dialogue between national and international economists, policymakers, private sector leaders, investment experts, and high-ranking government officials. The focus will be on unlocking Sri Lanka’s full economic potential by advancing reforms, enhancing exports, and attracting quality investments, positioning the country as a significant player in the emerging Asian growth narrative.
The agenda will span a wide array of topics, offering both macroeconomic insights and sector-specific strategies. Among the critical areas of discussion will be green infrastructure, education, logistics, tourism, and export diversification, all of which are seen as key drivers for Sri Lanka’s long-term economic resilience and competitiveness.
The summit will conclude with business-to-business (B2B) meetings and sector-specific hubs, designed to create direct linkages between local enterprises, global investors, and industry thought leaders, ultimately aiming to convert insights into actionable partnerships.
As Asia rises in global economic prominence, the 2025 Economic and Investment Summit will highlight Sri Lanka’s ambition to become a gateway for growth and a magnet for forward-thinking investment.
