Sri Lankan
entrepreneur and consultant Talal Rafi will be Sri Lankas representative to
the World Business Angels Investment Forum (WBAF) and will also be representing
Sri Lanka at the WBAF World Congress in Istanbul, Turkey in February 2020 as
well as in the Global Start-up Committee.
"The participation of Talal Rafi in WBAF will add value to
the organisation and to the world congress in Istanbul in 2020. Sri Lanka is a
growing economy located strategically and there are lots of opportunities for
investment in Sri Lanka. It is a pleasure to have Sri Lanka represented," said
WBAF Chairman Baybars Altunas.
WBAF, an affiliated partner of the G20 Global Partnerships
for Financial Inclusion (GPFI), supports start-ups, develops entrepreneurial
ecosystems and helps venture capitalists and companies connect with international
companies and organisations. Sri Lankas representation at the WBAF provides a
wide range of opportunities for start-ups, innovators and high growth
businesses and opens doors for economic development.
The World Business Angels Investment Forum interacts with
leaders in all areas of society to help assess needs and establish goals,
bearing in mind that the public interest is of paramount importance. WBAF
engages with a wide range of institutions which are public and private, local
and international, commercial and academic to help shape the global agenda.
WBAF does this through its partnership agreements and joint
projects developed with international institutions such as the International
Finance Corporation of the World Bank Group (IFC), London Stock Exchange Group
(LSEG), International Science Parks Association (IASP), World Association of
Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA), the European Trade Association for
Business Angels (EBAN), African Business Angels Network (ABAN) and the Middle East
Trade Association for Business Angels (MBAN).
