To prevent a “brain drain” of entrepreneurial talent following recent economic hurdles, the government has rolled out a series of initiatives focused on startup recovery. Key measures include a 2-year tax holiday for tech startups registered in 2025 and a matching grant scheme for angel investments.
The Ministry of Technology stated that these measures are designed to de-risk early-stage investments. “We need to keep our innovators here. By bridging the funding gap, we give them a reason to build for Sri Lanka,” the Minister said during a press briefing.
