The World Export Development Forum (WEDF) will be held in Sri Lanka, October 12 and 13, 2016. Between 400 and 600 delegates are expected to attend the WEDF. The theme for the forum, the 16th of its kind, is Trade for Success: Connect, Compete, Change.

A unique global conference and business-to-business matchmaking event dedicated to supporting trade-led development, the WEDF is expected to look at the changed game in sustainable trade and its impact on businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises, which form the backbone of economies.

The event will be supported by Brandix. Brandix is the pioneer of the concept of total solutions in Sri Lanka’s apparel sector and is a preferred supplier to some of the top retail brands in the US and Europe.
