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.
