SLASSCOM Product and Platform Council

 

 

As many of you may already be aware, the SLASSCOM Product and Platform Council (PPC) aims to fuel the growth of technology products in Sri Lanka by bringing together innovative founders, technology enthusiasts, and other professionals who are focused on scaling up products and platforms.

While a few Sri Lankan product companies have had significant success stories over the years, we at SLASSCOM are confident that there is room for many more companies to attain such heights. By enabling that vision we expect to increase the contribution to export revenue from technology products to become 25% of total revenue by 2040, through foreign investment, product licensing, and exit strategies.

The PPC catalyzes the scale-up journey of product companies by establishing a community, generating the content, influencing policy and coaching, through specific focus groups.
