Sri Lanka stands at the threshold of a digital transformation that will define its next decade. With the government’s bold target of USD 15 billion in ICT exports by 2030, the stage is set for innovation, collaboration, and growth on an unprecedented scale. At the heart of this movement lies INFOTEL 2025, organized by the Federation of Information Technology Industry Sri Lanka (FITIS) — the nation’s premier and longest-running ICT exhibition.
This year’s theme, “Fuelling the Digital Economy,” captures the essence of the moment. It is both a rallying call and a roadmap, urging every sector of the economy to embrace digitalization as the engine of national progress.
A National Platform for Digital Transformation
Over the years, INFOTEL has evolved from a technology exhibition into a strategic platform for policy dialogue, industry innovation, and knowledge exchange. The 2025 edition aims to highlight how emerging technologies — from artificial intelligence and automation to fintech, gaming, cybersecurity, and digital education — can unlock new opportunities across industries.
In his message on the significance of INFOTEL 2025, Dr. Dayan Rajapakse, Chairman of FITIS, remarked:
“INFOTEL has always been more than an exhibition. It is a national mission — one that brings together the brightest minds and strongest institutions to build Sri Lanka’s digital economy. The USD 15 billion target is ambitious, but through collaboration and innovation, it is within our reach.”
The event serves as a bridge between government policy and private sector innovation, creating a unified space for investors, educators, and entrepreneurs to collaborate on shaping the country’s digital roadmap.
Mr. Thariq Sanoon, Chairman of the INFOTEL Committee, emphasized this spirit of unity, stating:
“INFOTEL 2025 represents a shared national vision. It is where technology leaders, startups, and young innovators come together to turn ideas into reality. We want every Sri Lankan — from students to CEOs — to see their role in fuelling the digital economy.”

Their combined support reflects a powerful message: the growth of Sri Lanka’s digital economy is a collective responsibility, driven by partnerships that span across industries.
A Vision Backed by Leadership
The government’s commitment to a digitally empowered economy is evident in its policy direction and strategic initiatives. Hon. Eng. Eranga Weeraratne, Deputy Minister of Digital Economy, shared his perspective on the importance of INFOTEL in achieving the national target:
“To reach USD 15 billion in ICT exports, Sri Lanka must build an ecosystem that supports innovation, entrepreneurship, and talent. INFOTEL provides that platform — where the private sector, government, and academia meet to shape the country’s digital future.”
Beyond the Event
INFOTEL 2025 is not just a gathering of technology brands; it is a symbol of national ambition. It opens doors for startups to access investors, for students to learn from global experts, and for businesses to explore digital solutions that can transform their industries.
With thousands expected to attend, INFOTEL 2025 promises to be a landmark event — one that not only showcases technology but also inspires confidence in Sri Lanka’s ability to compete globally.
As FITIS continues to lead the charge, the message is clear: the future belongs to nations that invest in innovation, skills, and collaboration. Through INFOTEL 2025, Sri Lanka is taking that step boldly — fuelling its digital economy and driving steadily toward the USD 15 billion milestone by 2030.
In the words of Dr. Rajapakse, “We are not just adapting to a digital future — we are building it, together.”
