IN a world where innovation drives progress, startups have become the lifeblood of economic growth and societal transformation.

NIBM Neo Ventures: Colouring passionate lives through Sri Lanka's startup revolution

At the National Institute of Business Management (NIBM) in Sri Lanka, a dynamic initiative called Neo Ventures is empowering learners and young entrepreneurs to "colour their passionate lives" by turning bold ideas into thriving businesses. With Sri Lanka's startup ecosystem gaining momentum, Neo Ventures stands as a beacon of creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit. NIBM Neo Ventures is shaping the future of business in Sri Lanka, the current startup landscape, and the potential for exponential growth in the coming years. The driving vision of NEO Ventures is a national project to position Sri Lanka as a thriving hub of innovation and entrepreneurship in South Asia. Recognising that traditional academic models often focus primarily on theoretical frameworks, NIBM designed NEO Ventures to bridge the critical gap between learning and application. Through this initiative, participants are encouraged to explore their creativity, challenge conventional thinking, and develop the courage to turn ideas into impactful ventures.
