I take this opportunity to wish the CAN Market every success.”

CAN Market initiative Founder Keshini Suraweera said: “Over the last two years, the CAN Market has successfully promoted and created new opportunities for local entrepreneurs engaged in micro businesses. It is a platform that has created not just B2C opportunities but in many instances opened B2B opportunities as well.”
