What the chamber is for

The Northern Chamber of Information Technology was established in 2016 to give the technology sector of Sri Lanka’s Northern Province one organised voice. It brings together software companies, ICT educators, associations, startups and individual professionals so the region can speak to government, to national industry bodies and to international partners as a single industry rather than as scattered firms.

  • Represents the industry

  • Builds the ecosystem

  • Opens markets

    Exhibitions, trade events and buyer introductions that put Northern companies in front of customers beyond the province.
