A non-profit national chamber dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs and supporting professionals in Sri Lanka’s business community

Our Vision

To be the 'thinktank' 'voice' and the 'platform' empowering women, to be nation builders, by participating in transforming the economic growth of the nation

28/10/2026

The WCIC team had the privilege of meeting with the leadership team at Toyota Lanka—including the Chairman and CEO/MD—at their Head Office in Wattala to discuss strategic partnership opportunities with the Women’s Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

During our tour of the facility, we experienced firsthand their world-class customer service and were deeply encouraged by Toyota Lanka’s active steps to champion and integrate women into the automotive industry.

We look forward to building meaningful synergies that foster economic growth, promote gender diversity, and drive impactful industry collaboration.

Exciting developments are ahead—stay tuned!
