Daily FT
|September 17, 2025
THE Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) and Germany’s Import Promotion Desk (IPD) will formalise their longstanding collaboration through a Cooperation Agreement, expanding support to Sri Lanka’s digital products and services sector alongside natural ingredients and processed foods.
-
Since 2019, EDB and IPD have partnered to strengthen Sri Lanka’s export competitiveness, particularly in natural ingredients. Their joint initiatives have enabled small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to meet European Union (EU) market requirements, improve compliance, and establish valuable buyer connections.
During the visit to Colombo from 8-12 September 2025, IPD Head Dr. Julia Bellinghausen met with EDB Chairman and CEO Mangala Wijesinghe and senior officials to review achievements and discuss future priorities. She also held discussions with German Embassy in Sri Lanka Deputy Head of Mission Sarah Hasselbarth, focusing on SME development and strengthening EDB’s advisory role in export promotion.
