ON 29 and 30 September the nation's digital future will be on full display at the first-ever National AI Expo and Conference 2025 at Monarch Imperial, Colombo.

This is more than just an event; it's a launchpad for the country's AI movement, pioneered by the Digital Economy Ministry and SLT-Mobitel, opening the doors of AI and digitalisation to all of Sri Lanka, empowering individuals, businesses, and communities to explore, learn, and actively shape the nation's digital future.

Under the theme "In Pursuit of AI", the Expo will demonstrate how artificial intelligence is reshaping sectors such as agriculture, education, banking, finance, IT, healthcare, and manufacturing. Over two action-packed days, attendees can look forward to over 12 sessions, featuring more than 25 speakers and 25 exhibitors, all highlighting innovations that are driving Sri Lanka's AI movement.

SLT Group Chairman Dr. Mothilal De Silva said: "SLT-Mobitel as Sri Lanka's National ICT Solutions Provider, recognises the immense potential of artificial intelligence and it becomes our responsibility to drive the country's digital future."
