Sri Lankan Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 Awards tonight

@ 25 years of celebrating excellence as FCCISL marks 50 years of service to nation

- 

THE Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sri Lanka (FCCISL) will host the Sri Lankan Entrepreneur of the Year Awards 2025 today at 5 p.m. at Cinnamon Life.

Since the mid-1990s, SLEOTY has stood as the country’s premier stage for recognising excellence in enterprise. It has celebrated entrepreneurs who rose from humble beginnings and persevered through adversity to shape Sri Lanka’s economy.

The Awards are inclusive, recognising micro, small, medium, large, and extra-large enterprises, and through rigorous evaluation have showcased firms that embraced global best practices, sustainability, exports, digital transformation, and innovation. Many winners have grown from small family businesses into regional and multinational leaders, proving the transformative power of entrepreneurship.

Over 25 years, SLEOTY has built a legacy of winners who today are among the nation’s most influential business leaders. They generate employment, strengthen exports, introduce new technologies, and promote “Brand Sri Lanka” internationally.

Their value extends beyond profits. They are nation builders, keeping together the social and economic fabric during times of crisis. At a moment when Sri Lanka faces debt burdens, foreign exchange shortages, migration of skills, and global uncertainty, the role of entrepreneurs as national assets is more vital than ever.
