The digital platform ‘Global Lankan Entrepreneur Club (GLEC),’ which aims to bring together Sri Lankan entrepreneurs and professionals living across the world on a single digital platform, was launched in Colombo today (15).
The launch took place under the patronage of GLEC founder and the leader of the Sarvajana Balaya and Member of Parliament Dilith Jayaweera.
Addressing the event, MP Jayaweera said his objective was to create wealth for the country by introducing entrepreneurial thinking into the mindset of the people.
A large number of Sri Lankan entrepreneurs and professionals attended the event.
Speaking at the occasion, MP Dilith Jayaweera said:
"At a time when even the word 'entrepreneurship' was unfamiliar to us, our organisation took the lead in making the concept more widely recognised in society, making various efforts over nearly a decade.
Today, politicians, academics, professionals and even diplomats use this term, which is a matter of satisfaction. This is something that can be made a reality on the ground.
Through this platform, we seek to provide equal opportunities to everyone who joins it. Our objective is to create opportunities to share knowledge, opportunities and real-world experiences relating to global entrepreneurship.
We have now succeeded in bringing some of the world's leading entrepreneurs on board this platform.
It is not essential for someone to be an entrepreneur or a businessperson. What we want is to introduce the concept of entrepreneurship into the mindset of the people."
