The Chamber of Young Lankan Entrepreneurs (COYLE) has solidified its role as a leader in fostering economic growth and innovation in Sri Lanka through a series of impactful initiatives in 2024. With a mission to empower entrepreneurs and create a more resilient economy, COYLE has launched transformative programs and strategic partnerships that are shaping the future of Sri Lankan business.
Among its flagship initiatives, the ‘Young Lankans Initiative’ has been pivotal in inspiring entrepreneurship among Sri Lankan youth, while ‘Future Founders’ equips innovators with essential tools to turn ideas into successful businesses. Additionally, Coyle Global connects local entrepreneurs with international markets, fostering collaboration and innovation on a global scale.
Central to these efforts is COYLE’s partnership with the Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM), formalized through a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
