How You Can Help to Develop LABIE

The success of this page will largely depend on how much information we can get on our resource base. We are basically depending on people volunteering information to include in the web page to be available to Sri Lankan business community. Information contained under "Information Exchange" section of this site will be categorized under two main headings,

Resource Personnel Information
This is where readers will be able to find people with specialized knowledge in specific areas who are willing to work with Sri Lankan companies. Resource Personnel are categorized under different sections such as Technologists, Marketers, Educators, Consultants, etc. As the number of people under each category grows, we will further categorize the resource personnel in to different disciplines.

If you have special knowledge in an area where you think a Sri Lankan business and you can mutually benefit, please send us the following information. We will put your information on line to be available to all readers of LABIE. If a Sri Lankan business see a potential match of skills, they company may contact you to discuss the details.

  • Your Name (First, Last)
  • E mail Address (preferred)
  • Telephone/Fax numbers (optional)
  • Mailing Address (optional)
  • Two to three sentence description of your area of specialty (examples, Marketing, technology, consulting, education, etc.)

Please E-mail above information to srilanka@gmu.edu

LABIE will not be responsible for coordinating specific tasks; our objective is to make the initial contact possible. We hope that Sri Lankan business will go through our database and try to find a potential match for their requirement. Once the initial contact is made through LABIE, it is up to you and the other party (a company or individual) to discuss the details of the task.


Sri Lankan Company Information
To make the information flow more efficient, we think it is important to list Sri Lankan companies with specific requirements, so that another reader who has the knowledge may contact the company. As much as a companies can scan through resource personnel database to find a potential match, resource personnel them selves will look through company requirements to see if there are area for potential opportunities. This will make the information flow a two way process. Companies that are worried about what to disclose on a public forum such as LABIE, may include general information regarding the task and discuss specific details on an individual basis. We urge Sri Lankan companies to help us build LABIE database by E-mailing the following information,
  • Company Name
  • Contact Person (Name and designation)
  • E-mail address (preferred)
  • Mailing Address
  • Telephone/Fax Numbers
  • One paragraph description of the company
  • Short write up about specific area of expertise sought (marketing, technology transfer etc.)

Please E-mail above information to srilanka@gmu.edu
