The culmination of months of regional and provincial competitions, the national phase of ‘Sahasak Nimavum’ took place from the 25th to the 27th of April 2025 at the BMICH, Colombo.
The event showcased over 1,000 inventions selected from across Sri Lanka, featuring diverse participation from schools, universities, tri-forces, professional institutions, and independent inventors.
