On October 22, 2025, the Lanka Impact Investment Network (LIIN) announced several key initiatives, marking the beginning of a transformative era in Sri Lanka's economy, entrepreneurial ecosystem, and impact investment landscape.
Chandula Abeywickerma, Founder & Chairman of the LIIN, noted that while impact investments and green financing are relatively new concepts in Sri Lanka, developed economies have been prioritizing them for the past 25 years.
Abeywickerma introduced the Impact Investment Summit 2026, emphasizing that nurturing genuine entrepreneurship in a country depends on key stakeholders in investment, banking, finance, and the public and private sectors seeing the bigger picture.
