Accelerate to South Asia with Sri Lanka as the Launchpad

Sri Lanka is fast emerging as South Asia’s innovation gateway — a vibrant island where strategic location meets modern opportunity. Here’s why it’s the perfect launchpad for your next stage of growth:

Located at the crossroads of Europe–Asia trade routes, Sri Lanka connects you to over 2 billion consumers across South Asia. Its proximity to India and strong air and sea connectivity make it an ideal regional base for cross-border expansion.

Build and scale efficiently with competitive operational costs and access to a highly skilled, English-speaking workforce in technology, design, marketing, and business services. You get global-quality talent at regional cost levels — without compromising quality or speed.

For many European startups, entering large Asian markets like India or China can feel daunting — with complex regulations, high entry barriers, and ecosystems dominated by big local and global players. Sri Lanka offers a smarter, more agile, and more collaborative alternative.

For European startups and scale-ups, establishing a presence in Sri Lanka also serves as a powerful marketing and brand positioning strategy. Having an overseas office or innovation centre signals global ambition, cross-border capability, and scalability to investors, partners, and customers.

By setting up in Colombo or the Port City Special Economic Zone, startups can proudly showcase their South Asia hub — demonstrating they are not just exporting a product but building a global innovation footprint. It’s a strong story that attracts attention, builds trust, and positions your company as an emerging international player ready to engage with diverse markets.

Set up your South Asia hub in Colombo Port City, a next-generation Special Economic Zone (SEZ) offering investor-friendly policies, streamlined business registration, tax incentives, and access to premium office spaces designed for innovation-driven businesses.

Sri Lanka’s startup scene is buzzing — from tech incubators and accelerators to university-led innovation hubs and global tech collaborations. The country is fostering a new generation of entrepreneurs building solutions for global markets.

Experience world-class infrastructure, reliable digital connectivity, and a high quality of life in a tropical island setting — making it easy to attract and retain international talent.
