The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Market Development Facility (MDF), Australia’s flagship private sector development programme, to support the private sector in innovating to achieve growth and new economic opportunities for Sri Lanka. Through this joint initiative, CCC and MDF intend to host seminars and workshops, and encourage knowledge sharing through publishing research findings and business insights on topics that will drive bottom-line growth for the private sector. “These discussions to inspire sustainable economic growth in Sri Lanka are timely, and Australia, through MDF, is proud to support the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce in this initiative,” said Australian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka David Holly. The planned climate change workshop will also encourage investments into climate adaptation strategies to improve agricultural livelihoods. We see shared goals and common objectives between CCC and MDF and believe this collaboration will contribute to Sri Lanka’s prosperity.
