The information provided by this survey will assist both government and industry to better understand the opportunities for growth in the high-tech industry and will help to align specific programs to enable companies and entrepreneurs to create new solutions, companies and jobs in a growing market place.
IISEIE Chief Executive Officer, Malcolm Fraser, says this is a unique opportunity to gain a current insight into the structure, growth and development capacity of the ICT industry in Sri Lanka.
“The information can be effectively used to maximize economic performance of the industry by designing programs that are specifically tailored to meet current needs and enhance innovation,” said Mr Fraser.
“It sets out specific steps to increase the competitiveness of the industry and identify opportunities for growth by understanding how the industry appears and functions in regard to certain aspects or activities important to its innovation capacity.”
Once complete the results of the survey will be available in the form of an Innovation Readiness Index, a benchmarking tool, which will help to improve the understanding of the capacity for innovation, identify innovation strengths, spot any critical barriers and risks that may limit or block innovation, understand their relationship with the market place and identify opportunities for growth and improvement.
The survey is undertaken in collaboration with Microsoft Sri Lanka, FITIS and SLASSCOM.
IISEIE is a not-for-profit organisation committed to driving applied research that both informs and aligns industry-based programs to develop local software economies.
