Dialog Enterprise, the corporate solutions arm of Dialog Axiata PLC, has renewed its strategic partnership with the National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka (NCE) to further accelerate the digital transformation of Sri Lanka’s export sector.
The renewed collaboration reaffirms Dialog Enterprise’s commitment to equipping exporters with advanced digital technologies, industry expertise, and innovation-driven solutions that enhance competitiveness in global markets.
Strengthening Exporters Through Digital Innovation
The partnership builds on a collaboration launched in 2025, under which Dialog Enterprise became the official Digital Technology Partner of the NCE.
Since then, both organisations have worked together to improve the digital capabilities of Sri Lankan exporters by providing access to advanced ICT solutions, technology-driven business transformation initiatives, and knowledge-sharing programmes.
Under the renewed agreement, Dialog Enterprise will continue to support NCE members through a comprehensive portfolio of digital transformation solutions, including converged connectivity, cloud services, cybersecurity, data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
Supporting SMEs and Aspiring Exporters
The partnership will also deliver educational forums, industry workshops, and expert-led knowledge sessions designed to help exporters adapt to changing global market requirements and accelerate their digital transformation journeys.
Particular emphasis will be placed on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and aspiring exporters by providing practical guidance and digital capabilities that enable them to expand into international markets.
Driving a More Competitive Export Sector
The renewed collaboration reflects the shared vision of Dialog Enterprise and the NCE to strengthen Sri Lanka’s export industry through greater technology adoption, innovation, and digital readiness.
By enabling exporters to modernise operations, improve efficiency, and embrace emerging technologies, the partnership aims to enhance the global competitiveness of Sri Lankan businesses while creating new opportunities for sustainable export growth.
Commenting on the renewed partnership, NCE Secretary General and Chief Executive Officer Shiham Marikar said the collaboration will further strengthen the Chamber’s efforts to provide exporters with the knowledge, technologies, and digital tools required to succeed in an increasingly competitive and technology-driven global marketplace.

Supporting Bakers with Practical Solutions
BakeStar represents AB Mauri Lanka’s commitment to understanding the challenges faced by bakers and delivering products that address their operational and financial requirements.

At the centre of the range are products such as BakeStar Cake Gel and BakeStar Cake Mix, which are formulated to make baking easier while ensuring consistent volume, texture, and appearance in every batch.
Improving Efficiency and Reducing Waste
In an industry where results can often depend on individual expertise, BakeStar aims to help bakeries standardise production outcomes by reducing uncertainty and simplifying preparation methods.
The solutions are designed to minimise wastage, improve operational efficiency, and enable bakers to maintain consistent product quality even when skilled labour availability becomes a challenge.
Balancing Quality and Affordability
With rising operational pressures across the industry, BakeStar focuses on addressing the growing demand for cost-effective solutions that maintain high standards.
Through carefully developed formulations, the product range enables bakers to achieve professional results while managing costs effectively.
Speaking about the launch, Suren Perera, Technical Manager at AB Mauri Lanka, said the vision behind BakeStar was to provide solutions that genuinely support bakers in their daily operations.
He noted that the range was developed in response to the challenges faced by the industry and is designed to deliver reliability, quality, and value while remaining accessible to today’s bakery businesses.
With the introduction of BakeStar, AB Mauri Lanka continues to strengthen its role as a partner to Sri Lanka’s baking community by providing innovative solutions that help businesses grow and adapt to changing market conditions.
