Dialog, National Chamber partner to digitise Sri Lanka exporters through digital innovation
Dialog Enterprise, the corporate solutions arm of Dialog Axiata, has renewed its strategic partnership with the National Chamber of Exporters (NCE) to support the digital transformation of Sri Lanka’s export community. The initiative reflects a shared commitment to helping exporters embrace modern technologies that improve operational efficiency, productivity and international competitiveness.
Under the renewed partnership, Dialog Enterprise will provide NCE member companies with access to a broad portfolio of digital solutions tailored to the evolving needs of exporters. These include converged connectivity, cloud services, cybersecurity solutions, data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
The collaboration is expected to play a particularly important role in supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are looking to expand into international markets. Beyond technology solutions, the programme will deliver educational forums, industry workshops and expert-led knowledge-sharing sessions designed to help businesses navigate changing global trade requirements and digital business practices.
By combining technology with industry expertise, the initiative seeks to improve exporters’ readiness for increasingly competitive international markets. Companies participating in the programme will have opportunities to better understand digital tools that can streamline operations, enhance supply chain visibility, strengthen cybersecurity and improve customer engagement.
Commenting on the renewed partnership, Navin Pieris, Group Chief Officer of Dialog Enterprise at Dialog Axiata PLC, said the continued collaboration with the NCE demonstrates the company’s commitment to empowering Sri Lankan businesses through future-ready digital solutions.
He noted that enabling exporters to adopt innovative technologies is essential for achieving sustainable growth and improving global competitiveness. As international trade becomes increasingly digital, businesses that embrace technology are better positioned to respond to changing customer expectations, regulatory requirements and market opportunities.
The National Chamber of Exporters also welcomed the continuation of the partnership, highlighting its importance in strengthening Sri Lanka’s export ecosystem through greater technology adoption and digital readiness.
According to the chamber, the initiative is expected to help exporters improve operational efficiency while enhancing their ability to compete successfully in overseas markets. Digital capabilities such as cloud computing, AI-powered analytics and IoT solutions can enable businesses to optimise production processes, reduce operational costs and make more informed business decisions.
Shiham Marikar, Secretary General and Chief Executive Officer of the NCE, said the collaboration will further strengthen the chamber’s efforts to equip exporters with the knowledge, tools and technologies needed to succeed in an increasingly digital global economy.
He added that building digital capabilities has become a critical requirement for exporters seeking long-term growth, particularly as international buyers continue to demand greater efficiency, transparency and innovation throughout global supply chains.
The partnership also aligns with Sri Lanka’s broader efforts to promote export growth through technology-driven innovation. As businesses continue to adapt to rapidly evolving global markets, access to reliable digital infrastructure and expert guidance is becoming increasingly important for maintaining competitiveness.
By renewing their collaboration, Dialog Enterprise and the National Chamber of Exporters are reinforcing their shared objective of supporting Sri Lankan exporters with practical digital solutions and industry knowledge. The initiative is expected to contribute to a more resilient and technologically advanced export sector capable of competing more effectively in international markets.
The renewed collaboration demonstrates how strategic partnerships between the private sector and industry organisations can help accelerate digital transformation while creating new opportunities for Sri Lankan businesses seeking sustainable export growth. As Dialog, National Chamber partner to digitise Sri Lanka exporters continues to gather momentum, the programme is expected to support a growing number of companies on their digital transformation journey.
