Sri Lanka can emerge as a leading player in shaping Asia’s technological landscape, global specialists in low voltage management systems, Socomec India said.
With its highly competent population coupled with their strong educational foundation, Sri Lanka has thriving potential to capitalize on emerging opportunities in digitization, particularly to lead in data center expertise.
“Today one of the most explosive growth is experienced by data centers which began after covid. One of the biggest problems for data center managers is the extreme difficulty of finding people because of the incredible shortage of talent. Sri Lanka has great capacity to contribute to the pool of experts in data science and find huge success in Asia compared to its neighbours,’’ Socomec Group Asia Pacific Marketing Manager Marco Lorenzi told Mirror Business.
