This cluster focuses on empowering entrepreneurs in agriculture, supply chain and logistics. In agriculture we will be looking at everything related to the production of food - whether it be traditional farming methods for rice or the application of technology to agriculture or even creating new marketplaces for agricultural products. Supply chain and logistics in Sri Lanka are areas crying out for innovation and entrepreneurial thinking and the Lankan Angel Network (LAN) is ready and willing to support those efforts whether it is importing ideas already implemented in other countries or building on home-grown solutions.

LAN will be hosting a series of events in October 2014 bringing together subject matter experts, academics, practitioners, entrepreneurs, policy makers and financiers to outline their thinking, the challenges as well as highlighting opportunities in both agriculture and supply chain management/logistics.

This cluster focuses on transforming the energy industry in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has one of the highest electricity tariffs in the world while the energy industry is starting to undergo a technological renaissance with alternative energy businesses evolving from renewable energy sources. Sri Lanka has already become a world leader in the Small Hydro Power industry.

In the future, the energy industry is likely to transform into a localised and decentralized generation/consumption industry from a centralised generation/distribution industry, especially with solar power, and is ripe for entrepreneurial innovation with new business models and technological innovation.

In November 2014, the Lankan Angel Network will be hosting 'Energy 2.0' to bring together entrepreneurs, angels, domain experts, policy makers, and interested parties to help transform the sector.

The cluster is focused on bringing global awareness to "Sri Lankan Design" specifically, while working towards building a global retail marketplace for Sri Lankan products and for our entrepreneurs. While "sustainable and/or ethical production" is not a must, there will be an emphasis on such when and wherever possible. Several existing LAN funded companies in the fashion/design space already focus on sustainable development practices.

A focus event that will highlight our entrepreneurs and potential is planned for the 4th quarter of 2014 and the event will from then on continue on an annual basis. While this event will be a focal point, our continual efforts will be towards building the infrastructure to promote and distribute Sri Lankan products to a global audience. The infrastructure efforts will be towards the "plumbing" required for retail operations - payments, shipping and other logistics while the distribution efforts will focus on building global brand awareness for "Sri Lankan" products.
