SLASSCOM to lead tech sector delegation to Kenya this month

SLASSCOM is preparing to lead a delegation of Sri Lankan technology companies to Kenya later this month as part of efforts to expand the country's software and services sector into East African markets.

The initiative aims to facilitate business-to-business engagements between local IT firms and Kenyan counterparts, while identifying potential collaboration opportunities in areas such as software development, business process outsourcing, and digital transformation services.

Kenya has emerged as a significant technology hub in East Africa, with a growing demand for software solutions and IT services across sectors including finance, telecommunications, and e-commerce. The delegation is expected to include representatives from leading Sri Lankan software houses and service providers.

The visit reflects SLASSCOM's broader strategy to diversify export markets for Sri Lanka's IT sector, which has historically focused on traditional markets in North America and Europe. East Africa presents an increasingly attractive opportunity for regional technology companies seeking to expand their footprint.

Details regarding the delegation's size, participating companies, and specific meeting schedule are expected to be announced in the coming days.
