Sri Lankan companies have gained more than 28 business leads, about 15 business alliances, joint venture opportunities coupled with market exposure, and studying new trends in technology and innovation by participating in the exposure visit cum business matchmaking programs to Malaysia and Singapore for the electronics and electrical sector organised by Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) in collaboration with High Commissions of Sri Lanka in Malaysia and Singapore from 16-21 July.
The participating companies are hoping to finalise nearly $ 1.6 million worth of contracts with Malaysian and Singaporean companies by end 2019. In addition, they are expecting to sign joint ventures and supply components and equipment to leading Malaysian and Singaporean companies in the electronics and electrical sector in the near future.
This program has generated tremendous opportunities for the electronics and electrical sector companies in Sri Lanka to understand the capabilities of Malaysian and Singaporean counterparts and opportunities available in the electronics and electrical industry in these countries.
A comprehensive market study carried out by the Export Services Division of the EDB also revealed that there is a huge potential in Malaysia and Singapore for Sri Lankan electronics and electrical sector exporters to increase their presence in these two countries further.
