Intex and InMac Sri Lanka 2026
The successful launch of Intex Sri Lanka 2026 and InMac Sri Lanka 2026 at BMICH represents an important milestone in accelerating the country’s industrial transformation. By bringing together global textile innovators, advanced apparel manufacturing technologies, machinery providers, automation specialists, and international sourcing partners under one roof, these exhibitions create new opportunities for Sri Lankan manufacturers to strengthen their competitiveness in global markets.

As Sri Lanka works towards achieving US$ 8 billion in apparel exports by 2030, the path forward depends on more than expanding production capacity. It requires embracing Industry 4.0 technologies, artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing systems, sustainable production methods, modern supply chains, and stronger international partnerships that enable our industries to move up the global value chain.

The Industrial Development Board of Ceylon (IDB) recognizes that merchandise exports remain one of the strongest drivers of sustainable economic growth. A globally competitive manufacturing sector generates foreign exchange, creates quality employment, encourages innovation, strengthens MSMEs, and attracts new investment into the country.

Under the leadership of the Ministry of Industry & Entrepreneurship Development, the IDB continues to facilitate this transformation by connecting Sri Lankan industries with technology providers, investors, international markets, knowledge partners, and innovation ecosystems that enhance productivity and export readiness.

This vision is reflected in the IDB’s strategic direction:
“Beyond Development. Towards Transformation.”

It is a commitment to transform industries—not simply by supporting growth—but by helping enterprises become globally competitive, digitally enabled, innovation-driven, environmentally sustainable, and export-oriented.

The participation of Hon. Sunil Handunnetti, Minister of Industry & Entrepreneurship Development, Mr. Yasas Hewage, Chairman of the Industrial Development Board, together with industry leaders at the inauguration demonstrates a shared national commitment to positioning Sri Lanka as a modern manufacturing and sourcing hub in the region.

Together, we are building an industrial ecosystem that creates greater value, expands merchandise exports, strengthens the apparel sector, and positions Made in Sri Lanka as a globally respected brand.
