The National Enterprise Development Authority (NEDA) under the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises and Enterprise Development (NEDA) unveiled the 'National Enterprise Forum' at BMICH today.

The main objective of this National Entrepreneurship Forum was to find solutions for the problems faced by the entrepreneurs and uplift them.

Monti Ranatunga, Secretary to the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises and Enterprise Development, Anushka Gunasinghe, Chairman and Director General of the National Enterprise Development Authority, NEDA officials and entrepreneurs were also present.
