Hatch unveils Sri Lanka’s first Innovation District
December 15, 2025
|Daily FT
HATCH, the nation's award-winning startup hub and a driving force behind Sri Lanka's entrepreneurial ecosystem, is advancing its boldest initiative yet, the creation of the country's first Innovation District in Colombo 01.
-
The vision was first introduced publicly during the Startup Nation 2025 launch event in March 2025, and reaffirmed at the program's culmination on October 1, 2025, marking a defining moment for the nation's innovation trajectory.
Since its founding in 2018, Hatch has operated on the belief that collaboration fuels innovation, and entrepreneurs are catalysts for economic growth. Over the past seven years, it has grown into the "center of gravity for all things startup," offering opportunity, global connectivity, and a secure environment where founders can innovate and thrive. Today, a majority of Sri Lanka's active entrepreneurs have been positively impacted through Hatch's programs and services whether it's an innovation event to its focused accelerator programs.
