The Sri Lanka Association of Software and Service Companies together with ICT Norway kicked off a fresh initiative to empower start-ups in Sri Lanka. SLASSCOM and ICT Norway have come together to offer Sri Lankan start-ups the opportunity to take part in the Oslo Innovation Week. Start-ups across Sri Lanka will be given an opportunity at a pitching event organised by both the Sri Lankan and the Norwegian bodies on 30th August, 2017. The start-ups with the most unique and innovative pitches will be shortlisted and the top three winning companies will be sponsored by ICT Norway to take part in the five-day Oslo Innovation Week in Norway from 25th to 29th September, 2017. The tie up between SLASSCOM and ICT Norway to strengthen Sri Lanka’s ICT sector, is also seen as an effort to further enhance the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
