Who we are

The National Chamber of Industries (NCI)

The National Chamber of Industries is the apex body representing manufacturers, exporters and industrial service providers across Sri Lanka. For over three decades, NCI has advocated for industrial policy, trade facilitation and skills development on behalf of its member companies.

NITE — the National Industry & Trade Exhibition — is NCI's flagship public event, bringing that membership onto one exhibition floor once a year to meet buyers, sponsors and each other.

Mission

Connect Sri Lankan industry to markets that grow it.

We create the trade infrastructure — exhibitions, matchmaking and advocacy — that lets local manufacturers and exporters reach buyers they couldn't reach alone.

Vision

A Sri Lanka known for what it makes.

We work toward a future where Sri Lankan industry is a recognised, competitive presence in regional and global trade.
