The Ministry of Science and Technology and the University of Vavuniya have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch an Incubation and Innovation Development Project, aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, research commercialization, and startup growth in Sri Lanka’s Northern Province.
The agreement, signed by University Vice Chancellor Prof. A. Atputharajah and Ministry Secretary Y. L. Mohomed Navavi, includes an initial allocation of Rs. 4 million to establish a food product testing laboratory at the university.
An additional Rs. 15 million will be provided through the National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) program to expand the facility.
The laboratory will offer testing and quality assurance services for food products, helping small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the region meet both national and international standards. The initiative is expected to strengthen local industries, support value addition, and enhance market competitiveness.
