SPIKE | Unlocking Public Sector Tech: Fairness, Access, and Innovation
What does it really take to unlock public sector tech in Sri Lanka?
Join us on July 8th at Trace Expert City for Event 2 of our Digital Economy & Policy Workshop Series - where fairness, access, and innovation aren’t just buzzwords, but the focus of the night.
Two leaders will guide the conversation:
🗣️ Eranga Weeraratne: Deputy Minister of Digital Economy. He’ll break down the government’s vision, share details on three major tech projects open for private sector bids (including the National ID initiative), and explain how digital public infrastructure is opening new doors for everyone.
🎤 Alagan Mahalingam: Founder & CEO of Rootcode. He’ll share how Sri Lankan companies can actually win government contracts - here and abroad - with real steps, lessons from bidding in Europe, and advice for startups ready to make their mark.
This isn’t just another talk. Expect practical insights, honest discussion, and a welcoming space for every founder, policymaker, and tech enthusiast
