ICTA launches Digital Technology Awareness and Adoption initiative in Central Region

The Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) - the pioneer of digital transformation aiming to make Sri Lanka a digitally inclusive Nation - together with the Ministry of Technology, Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (TRCSL), telecommunications partners and industry partners launched a two-day Roadshow to create awareness about the national digital transformation agenda, which also engages regional partners, a statement said.

The Central Region Roadshow was the third, out of the five regional cluster development programs commenced by ICTA. The first Regional Development Roadshow was organised in June focusing on the Northern Region, while the second Regional Development Roadshow took place in August in the Southern Region. There will be two more Roadshows in the Western and the Eastern regions scheduled to unfold this year.   Over 1,000 participants attended the Central Region Roadshow and met with officials representing the Central, North Central and Sabaragamuwa Provinces. This initiative focuses on collaborating with stakeholders in the Central region such as government agencies, telecommunications and technology industry officials, SME sectors working in agriculture, education and other industries to introduce new and advanced technologies via experts, providing necessary infrastructure for new technological research and development.
