Port City Colombo has achieved a significant milestone, on-boarding 100+ companies as Authorised Persons (APs), as of 24 August 2024. These companies represent a diverse range of sectors identified to the Colombo Port City Special Economic Zone, including IT, finance, professional services, shipping, logistics, tourism, healthcare, real estate development, and global capability centres.
Among these APs, twenty-two companies have been designated as Businesses of Strategic Importance (BSI’s). The Colombo Port City Economic Commission (CPCEC) is currently reviewing the BSI status of other APs at present. Several companies are in the pipeline to register as APs, reflecting increased investor confidence in Port City Colombo. These achievements align with Port City Colombo’s vision to attract high-value foreign direct investments (FDI’s), whilst the diverse range of companies reflects the SEZ’s focus on service-oriented sectors.
