Port City Colombo Invites Global Investors: UAE Roadshow Unveils Lucrative Opportunities

Port City Colombo (PCC) is spearheading a major international marketing initiative by launching a Roadshow in the UAE, aimed at presenting a wide array of investment opportunities and incentives for global investors. The event signifies a significant step in inviting investors from around the world to explore the diverse prospects available within the Port City Colombo project.
Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron is set to address an exclusive forum, providing insights on the strengthening ties between the UAE, the Indo-Pacific region, and the pivotal role Sri Lanka plays in this growing trend. Asia is projected to contribute to over 50 percent of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2040, solidifying its status as the emerging economic powerhouse. The UAE seeks to bolster its connections with the Indo-Pacific region, and Sri Lanka’s Port City Colombo development project is positioned to play a vital role in this partnership.
Port City Colombo is a visionary Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)-funded mixed development endeavor, poised to redefine Sri Lanka’s economic and social landscape. Situated on reclaimed land adjacent to Colombo’s heart, it promises a cosmopolitan lifestyle, top-notch infrastructure, and sustainable living. As a Special Economic Zone (SEZ), PCC offers an array of incentives and benefits for businesses, making it an attractive destination for international enterprises, hotel proprietors, and operators seeking to establish their presence in Sri Lanka.
The independent governance framework of the Colombo Port City Economic Commission (CPCEC) further positions PCC as an ideal place to conduct business in the region. The recent Cabinet approval for the Businesses of Strategic Importance (BSI) Guidelines underlines the commitment to transform Port City Colombo into a globally competitive special economic zone. These guidelines offer primary and secondary businesses of strategic importance a range of incentives, including exemptions from relevant enactments, favorable corporate tax rates, and enhanced capital allowances.
Port City Colombo presents diverse business and investment opportunities across various sectors, including real estate development, regional trading and hub operations, luxurious residential and retail spaces, among others. Its strategic location as the “Gateway to South Asia” makes it a pivotal hub for trade, commerce, and tourism in the region.
The UAE Roadshow event is tailored to empower investors with valuable insights and networking opportunities. It features sessions dedicated to investor presentations, offering a platform for in-depth discussions on investment prospects and strategies. International keynote speakers and panel discussions on investment trends will provide attendees with comprehensive insights into the market dynamics and opportunities within PCC.
Overall, the Port City Colombo UAE Roadshow demonstrates the immense potential and commitment of PCC towards emerging as a global economic powerhouse, inviting investors to be part of this transformative project.
