The subject matter of the keynote address was ‘How SMEs can best position themselves for growth and how they can differentiate themselves from competitors in their relevant sectors’.

Meanwhile, Nations Trust Bank also conducted another seminar for customers of its Kuliyapitiya, Wariyapola and Giriulla Branches who are engaged in the coconut industry. More than 110 stakeholders attended this event, which was held at the Sirimali Royal Dawn Hotel. The keynote speaker at the event was Industrial Service Bureau Director Neelakanth Wannianayake. He spoke about the present state of the coconut industry, challenges and opportunities.
