Techno 2009 National Engineering and Technology exhibition

The Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka (IESL), heralds its 24th annual exhibition at the BMICH, from October 9-11.

The Techno 2009 exhibition which marks the flagship event in the IESL calendar, will seek to unleash and elicit multi-faceted disciplines, talents and skills in the spheres of engineering. It will strive to drive Sri Lanka into scientific and technological excellence, uplift and enhance the quality of life of our people and steer our motherland towards prosperity.

Over the past 23 years, Techno exhibition has maintained the highest quality standards. It has been widely accepted within the engineering fraternity that Techno 2009 is one of the best and leading exhibitions in the sphere of Engineering and Technology, in this part of the globe.

The tailor-made Techno 2009 would not merely be another traditional exhibition.Instead, it would harness the talents, skills, know-how and the experiences of all the stakeholders, blend them together and produce a unique output which would be of optimum mutual benefit to them all.

It would enable them to enhance their professionalism as well, in their related fields. It would provide a platform and a classic opportunity for the new as well as the established entrepreneurs and organizations to further showcase and promote their products and services on offer, under one roof.

The Techno 2008 had been a roaring success, with over 230 stalls and an encouraging number of visitors to view them. It is envisaged to make it a more memorable event this year.

It will comprise special features such as, the IESL Engineering Pavilion, Vidathaa Exhibition in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Robot competition organized by the IESLs IT Sectional Committee, the Junior Inventors area in association with the JIY Committee of the IESL and the special area, the Sri Lankan Zone, for Mawbima Lanka Foundation, among others.

A special and significant feature of the Techno 2009, would be our endeavour to establish stronger, dynamic and sustainable links between the suppliers of engineering products and services, and the relevant government institutions,to facilitate mutual awareness of their resources and potential, in fulfilling their needs, objectives and aspirations.
