  Trade Information Network of Sri Lanka
  The Computerised Trade Information Network (TradenetSL) was established under the The Ministry of Internal and International Commerce and Food in May 1995 with the following objectives:
   
 
1) To provide:
 
Local users (exporters, businessmen, trade chambers, policy makers, officials of ministries/statutory bodies) and international users (prospective buyers of Sri Lankan products, exporters and investors) timely information on internal and international trade, commerce and investment
Access to information servers at national and international levels
Efficient search and referral services to local users.
   
2) To promote and popularise e-commerce services in Sri Lanka. This includes facilitation of electronic transactions between business-to-business, business-to-consumer and business-to-government.
   
3) Electronic communication/internet services at an affordable price with the objective of popularising use among small and medium enterprises.
   
The Governing Board of TradenetSL comprises experts and officials from the University of Moratuwa, Arthur C Clarke Centre, Export Development Board, Department of Commerce, Department of Posts and Telecommunications, Customs Department, CINTEC and the Treasury.

Over the past three years TradenetSL has successfully established electronic trade information services and continue to manage, maintain and enhance the electronic trade information base and the computing and networking infrastructure. It has now developed a range of e-commerce services in a very professional manner with the establishment of the Cyber Trader. The Cyber Trader – the e-Business Centre @ EDB was officially opened by H.E. the President in May this year.
