“The first ever National Engineering Exhibition, ‘Techno 2007’ organised by the Institute of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL) will be held from October 19 to 21 at the BMICH.

The first exhibition organised by the Institute 21 years ago was known as “Elect”. It displayed imported products.

But now it showcases products of local manufacturers but also entering the export market as well.

The President IESL T. B. Taldena said the IESL completes 101 years this year.

Chairman of the Techno 2007 Organising Committee Ranjith Rubasinghe said it is time to redesign the exhibition the way country wants it in the future.

“The theme for the exhibition “Discovering the Future” is ideally suited in that sense,” he said.

The exhibition will be a blend of engineering and trade stalls highlighting teaching aspects.

The Vidatha Vidu Dekma will be a part of Techno 2007 strengthening the theme this year.
