Sri Lanka is witnessing a surge in high-tech investments from China, specifically targeting the Artificial Intelligence, robotics, and Electric Vehicle (EV) assembly sectors. Several agreements signed this quarter pave the way for technology transfer and the establishment of assembly plants in the Mirijjawila Export Processing Zone.
