The Board of Investment (BOI) of Sri Lanka today announced the launch of "BOI Accelerate," an ambitious two-year transformation journey. The program is strategically designed to unlock the full potential of BOI Sri Lanka and significantly contribute to the nation's economic future.

Driven by the fresh vision of its newly appointed leadership and Board of Management, "BOI Accelerate" aims to instigate a paradigm shift within the organization. The initiative is expected to harness the expertise of volunteer Knowledge Leads and Subject Matter Experts from across Sri Lanka. Their collective efforts will focus on four critical pillars: fostering culture change, enhancing nation branding, ensuring strategic alignment, and driving digital transformation within the BOI.

The inaugural day of the program set a dynamic tone for the journey ahead, featuring thought-provoking sessions designed to inspire deep reflection and prompt decisive action.

At the opening day, Prof. Ajith Medis, a Professor at the University of Kelaniya and CEO of PMF Finance PLC, and  Anglo T. De Silva, Founder and Managing Director of Sandbox, delivered powerful insights. They challenged conventional thinking, emphasizing the critical need for courageous leadership and purpose-driven transformation, particularly within the government sector.

In its announcement, BOI Sri Lanka expressed strong optimism, stating, "This is just the beginning—the momentum is building, and the future is bright. Here’s to transforming BOI, and with it, strengthening our nation’s economic future."
