National Chamber Celebrates International Women's Day 2026
A special high-level forum to empower women in corporate leadership and promote inclusive economic opportunities across regional supply chains.

In commemoration of International Women’s Day, NCCSL hosted an influential panel of female entrepreneurs, corporate directors, and policy analysts. Discussions centered around breaking glass ceilings in export trade, accessing preferential venture financing for women-led enterprises, and fostering inclusive boardrooms across Sri Lanka.

Speaking on behalf of The National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka, council representatives emphasized that the institutional mandate remains steadfastly aligned with economic revitalization, removal of non-tariff barriers, and active engagement with key international trade partners across the European Union, South Asia, and North American export destinations.

Key Strategic Takeaways

  • Expansion of bilateral trade delegations to high-growth emerging markets.
  • Promotion of online Certificate of Origin (e-COO) verification for accelerated customs processing.
  • Strengthening micro and small enterprise technical capacity to meet stringent ESG criteria.

Exporters and commercial stakeholders interested in participating in upcoming Chamber trade sessions and policy representations are encouraged to connect with the Secretariat or register their interest via the Member Portal.
