'SME-ProLink: Unity Through Business' link Northern and Southern SMEs

August 30, 2015

The GIZ SME Development Program and the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) will launch 'SME-ProLink: Unity Through Business', an initiative to link the Northern and Southern SMEs to strengthen business and social relationships and promote unity and harmony among communities. The program will be held in Matara on September 29 and 30.

The Deutsche Gesellschaft fÜr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce firmly believe that this initiative will create opportunities for SMEs in the two provinces to build new market links and facilitate expansion of business to other parts of the country.

During the SME-ProLink program, 30 SMEs from the Northern Province will meet, interact and share experiences with 30 SMEs from the Southern Province, along with technical service providers such as the Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI), universities and corporates at one venue to exchange knowledge and create links.
