Sri Lankan Investment Promotion in Germany – New Opportunities Abound

A Sri Lankan led investment and export promotion in Germany came to a successful conclusion recently and it is hoped that it will lead to bringing in new foreign investment into the country. This investment promotion initiative featured the backing of Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Development Strategies and International Trade along with the Export Development Board, the Board of Investment and AHK Germany.

Apart from representatives from the state sector, the delegation also comprised private sector representation from fields such as logistics, apparels and real estate. In fact, the real estate sector has shown significant growth in the country offering more investment opportunities; this is mirrored in the increase of luxury apartments in Colombo, including up and coming residential development projects such as TRI-ZEN. During the three day promotion, the delegation visited three cities namely Berlin, Frankfurt and Hamburg; here they met with German and European investors and interested parties connected to everything from logistics to importing and equipment manufacturing.
