Opening the ‘Entrepreneurial Glory and Trade Fair 2026’
In celebration of World Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSME) Day, People’s Bank hosted the ‘Entrepreneurial Glory and Trade Fair 2026’ recently at the Sirisara Stadium in Kurunegala.
The program was organised by the People’s Bank Kurunegala Region. The two-day event brought together a vibrant array of exhibitors, showcasing a diverse range of products and services. Complementing the exhibition were a series of value-added activities, including expert-led seminars on entrepreneurship, business advisory sessions, awareness programs on specialised loan schemes, and live entertainment.
The event was inaugurated in the presence of People’s Bank Chairman Prof. Narada Fernando; Chief Executive Officer/General Manager Clive Fonseka, and Deputy General Manager – SME, Development and Micro Finance, Wickrama Narayana, together with members of the Bank’s corporate and executive management. Government officials, Bank staff, and entrepreneurs also attended the event.
As part of its ongoing commitment to empowering entrepreneurs and fostering economic growth, People’s Bank plans to extend this initiative through a series of regional MSME trade fairs across the island. These events will provide micro, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs with a valuable platform to showcase their products and services, connect with wider markets, and gain access to essential financial solutions and business advisory support.

Through initiatives such as the ‘Entrepreneurial Glory and Trade Fair 2026’, People’s Bank continues to reaffirm its commitment to strengthening Sri Lanka’s MSME sector by promoting entrepreneurship, enhancing financial inclusion, and supporting sustainable economic development.
