On Saturday morning, I attended the YGC Innovation Festival, an IT and technology-focused program held from the 29th to the 31st of August 2025 at the Jaffna Thiruvalluvar Cultural Center. The festival was organised to highlight advancements in innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship, while also providing a platform for meaningful engagement among students, professionals, and business leaders.
A key feature of the event was the Mini Expo, which presented a range of stalls and exhibits. These displays showcased innovative projects, digital solutions, and startup concepts, enabling participants to explore practical applications of technology and to exchange ideas with the exhibitors. The initiative facilitated constructive dialogue, encouraged knowledge sharing, and provided opportunities for collaboration across different sectors.
During the event, contact was made with several IT professionals who could assist with website automation linked to Excel. Their details were collected for follow-up, with a view to exploring potential support for ongoing digital initiatives.
