The Chamber of Young Lankan Entrepreneurs (COYLE) celebrates its 15th anniversary on 10 March with a gala dinner reception at the Cinnamon Grand, Colombo. The event preceded by the Chamber’s Annual General Meeting is dedicated to COYLE’s 15 years of “Creating Business Viability” amongst the Sri Lankan business community. The occasion will be graced by President Mahinda Rajapaksa together with other senior government officials.
It is an important milestone in the continuing growth and success of Sri Lanka’s business community. COYLE has been a significant force in the country’s economic development over the last decade and a half, and it has an especially relevant role to play today, with Sri Lanka experiencing rapid economic growth and development.
“This is great opportunity, not just to highlight the great achievements that COYLE has done over the past 15 years, but to highlight the significant benefits that have accrued to the members of the Chamber. The fact that our Chamber has been able to serve and support its member business owners for the past 15 years is a great achievement,” said the COYLE Chairman Wasantha De Silva. He added: “Regularly, the Executive Committee comprising of business owners and professionals gather for hour-long meetings. The purpose of each grouping is to work towards increasing their member’s business success. These meetings help to build close professional relationships by affording members the opportunity to learn about each other’s businesses, share tips, exchange leads and hear speakers on a variety of topics.”
The Chamber also announced that they will be honouring top business achievers from amongst its membership at this occasion. The anniversary celebration also serves to salute COYLE’s exclusive business-networking group on their achievements and contributions to the economic growth and development of the Sri Lankan business community.
The Chamber of Young Lankan Entrepreneurs (COYLE) in 1999 commenced its journey towards regenerating the corporate sector, by presenting itself as the milieu that bridges the gap between fundamental business segments in Sri Lanka. Instigated by 17 promising entrepreneurs, COYLE created and enhanced a pro-business environment, which is currently steered by 114 significant members of the Sri Lankan corporate community in investment, finance and industrial relations.
