Sri Lanka has set ambitious plans to achieve a fivefold expansion of its digital economy, aiming for US$15 billion within the next four years, Chief Advisor to the President on the Digital Economy and ICTA Chairman Dr. Hans Wijeyasuriya announced yesterday.
Delivering the keynote address at the main conference of Disrupt Asia 2025, Dr. Wijeyasuriya highlighted the government’s roadmap for digitalisation, positioning Sri Lanka as South Asia’s innovation hub.
