Mr. Yasas Hewage Assumes Duties as the New Chairman of the IDB

The Industrial Development Board of Ceylon (IDB) warmly welcomes and extends its sincere congratulations to Mr. Yasas Hewage on assuming duties as the Chairman of the Industrial Development Board on 1 June 2026.

As one of Sri Lanka’s premier enterprise development institutions, the IDB has proudly served the nation for over six decades, playing a vital role in promoting industrial development, entrepreneurship, innovation, and the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across the country.

Mr. Hewage assumes leadership of the Board at a significant moment in Sri Lanka’s industrial and enterprise development landscape. Under the guidance of the Ministry of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development, efforts are currently underway to establish the proposed Entrepreneurship and Industry Transformation Authority (EITA) through the integration of the Industrial Development Board (IDB), the National Enterprise Development Authority (NEDA), and the Small Enterprise Development Division (SEDD). This transformative initiative aims to create a stronger and more coordinated institutional framework to accelerate enterprise growth, industrial modernization, and economic development.

The IDB is confident that Mr. Hewage’s leadership, vision, and commitment will further strengthen the organization’s contribution to the national development agenda and support the successful realization of the EITA vision.

The Board, management, and staff of the Industrial Development Board extend their best wishes to Mr. Yasas Hewage for a successful tenure and look forward to his leadership in advancing Sri Lanka’s industrial and entrepreneurial transformation.
