AS part of its yearlong 40th Anniversary celebrations, the Women’s Chamber of Industry and Commerce (WCIC) hosted another flagship initiative, “Empowering Future Female Entrepreneurs”, at Trace Expert City. The event brought together 60 ambitious female undergraduates from 16 universities across Sri Lanka for a full day of learning, mentorship, and inspiration.

The program is one in a series of monthly events designed to celebrate WCIC’s 40-year journey while investing in the future of women entrepreneurs.

WCIC Chairperson Gayani de Alwis said, “WCIC’s 40-year legacy is one of evolution and impact. We have always been and will continue to be a relevant and dynamic force, empowering women to transform Sri Lanka’s economy as powerful nation builders.”

The day featured a rich agenda of interactive workshops and sessions. The Makers Founder and CEO Nevindaree Premarathne led a practical workshop on Entrepreneurship on a Budget, teaching participants how to test ideas quickly through minimum viable products (MVPs) and creative branding.
