Sri Lanka will host its first-ever National AI Expo & Conference on September 29–30, 2025, at which the nation’s comprehensive AI roadmap will be unveiled, according to the Ministry of Digital Economy.
The trailblazing initiative is the country’s most ambitious undertaking to position Sri Lanka as a leading AI hub in the Asia-Pacific region, accelerating artificial intelligence adoption throughout all economic sectors.
The initiative aligns with the country’s goal of expanding the digital economy from an estimated US$3.5 billion in 2025 to US$15 billion by 2030, with AI expected to contribute 10–12% of that growth.
The historic tri-party collaboration between the Ministry of Digital Economy, the Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) Sri Lanka, and SLT-MOBITEL demonstrates unprecedented unity in driving national technological advancement.
