LIIN and Good Market forge strategic partnership to strengthen MSMES

Event includes panel discussion where entrepreneurs share experiences and challenges in scaling social enterprises

- 

IN a landmark move to accelerate the growth of impact-driven enterprises in Sri Lanka, the Lanka Impact Investing Network (LIIN) and Good Market recently entered into a strategic partnership focused on unlocking new pathways for investment and enterprise development.

The collaboration was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 14 June at the Saturday Good Market Nuga Tree Car Park, Racecourse, Colombo 7.

At the signing ceremony, two major initiatives were introduced: the Social Enterprise Fund (SEF) and the Investment Readiness Program. Together, these initiatives aim to identify, support, and scale Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) that are driven by strong social and environmental impact goals. Through this collaboration, LIIN and Good Market are combining capital access, capacity-building, and ecosystem support to help high-potential enterprises grow sustainably and become investment-ready.

The SEF is an initiative of LIIN. It is dedicated to supporting impact enterprises—businesses that address critical social or environmental issues—by providing much-needed growth capital at the acceleration stage of their business lifecycle.
