President's Message
I am honored and thankful for the opportunity to serve as the President of ECCSL since 2019. I am excited to welcome you to the European Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka (ECCSL), a dynamic and strong business community with a network of approx. 200 companies. Together with our growing network of partner Chambers, we create opportunities for business growth through our countless engagements at many levels with the Sri Lankan Government, Chamber networks, embassies, and trade promotion agencies of European countries as well as business leaders from Europe and Sri Lanka.
We build business alliances together with you and for you by matching buyers and sellers, exporters and distributors as well as entrepreneurs and investors from Europe and Sri Lanka. Our membership of the European Business Organisations World Wide Network (EBOWWN) adds its global network of 41 trusted, like-minded chambers to our chamber for collaboration, opening doors, and building connections among business partners.
The ECCSL is the voice of European businesses in Sri Lanka. We gather the views of Bilateral Chambers of Commerce and combine them with industry expert knowledge in our sectorial committees to convey the business community’s position to the Sri Lankan Government and regulators. Together with you, we continuously strive to shape the ecosystem and business environment in which our members operate and do business.
Join our business alliance in Sri Lanka and be part of this prosperous and prestige partnership.
