Chinese Academy of Sciences, BOI gear for long-term bilateral relationship
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the BOI recently concluded a series of meetings and fact-finding visits to the BOI zones to find new opportunities for fruitful long-term bilateral relationships.
The NetZero commitment of the nations and industries and sustainable strategic planning of the BOI has paved the way to develop its zones management to attract green and digital FDIs to the country hence it is evident that Sri Lanka needs world-class collaborators to reach these significant strategically important key measurements. Therefore, the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ world view and vision of collaboration with the nation and its mission of research and innovation and further developing a merit-based learning ecosystem will enable the BOI to leapfrog the process of developing a greener and sustainable zones management system.
In the context of the near future, both parties are looking forward to working together and developing a synergistic relationship. The Chinese Academy of Science has a mandate to explore and harness high technology and the natural sciences for the benefit of China and the world. Comprising a comprehensive research and development network, a merit-based learned society, and a system of higher education, CAS brings together scientists and engineers from China and around the world to address both theoretical and applied problems using world-class scientific and management approaches. To ensure the highest standards of water quality, BOI envisioned creating a specialized facility dedicated to testing the drinking water quality and treated water quality of BOI enterprises. This could involve the establishment of a fully equipped water quality laboratory on the premises of Kandy Industrial Park.
To undertake the establishment of a pilot model Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) treatment plant for pharmaceutical effluent. These programs will offer comprehensive insights into water technology, environmental management, and sustainable practices. Empowering BOI staff and enterprises, these initiatives will enable them to address industry-specific challenges effectively.
