Symposium on French Expertise in Urban Development

The Sri Lanka France Business Council (SLFBC) of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce in association with the Economic Service of the French Embassy in Colombo will be organizing a Symposium on French Expertise in Urban Development on the 04th July at the BCIS Auditorium, BMICH.

The Symposium will be organised as part of the French Spring Festival in Sri Lanka.

The objective of the Symposium is to provide an opportunity for local companies and implementing agencies engaged in Urban and Infrastructure Development to meet with strong French companies and share French know-how in different aspects of Urban Development. France, being an uncontested forerunner in innovative urban development and built environment creation with long established technological dominance in large scale infrastructure projects, time tested traditions of urban planning and commitment to sustainable development has a lot to share with implementing agencies in Sri Lanka. The French offer represents the best value for money, guaranteed high performance and durability supported by dedication to ensure client satisfaction.

The Symposium will be addressed by Senior Officials of the National Physical Planning Department and Urban Development Authority.

The French Development Agency (AFD) and Investment and Promotions Company for Economic Cooperation (PROPARCO) will make presentations on their worldwide experience in Urban Development and project financing instruments.

Ten major French companies will be present at the Symposium.
