The Business Forum is an essential component of ICBM, designed to facilitate knowledge exchange and foster relationships between academia and industry practitioners. This year, the forum will feature cross-sector panel discussions focusing on three key themes: the Port City Colombo Economic Model, Sri Lanka’s economic recovery strategies, and the adoption of disruptive technologies by Sri Lankan businesses.
In collaboration with the International Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka, ICBM 2025 aims to enhance the forum’s industrial relevance for both local and international audiences. Distinguished panelists, comprising industry leaders from various sectors, will lead discussions aligned with the conference theme, offering invaluable insights and perspectives.
We anticipate the participation of approximately 250 industry leaders, professionals from the private and public sectors, and academics who will enrich the forum’s discussions as engaged audience members. Following the panel sessions, a networking session and cocktail reception will provide a relaxed environment for attendees to forge meaningful connections and reflect on the insights gained throughout the conference.
