Sri Lanka Institute of Nanotechnology (SLINTEC) is a pioneer in nano and advanced technology & research in Sri Lanka. Our research is primarily focused on six areas – namely; advanced materials, smart textiles, advanced agriculture, graphene technologies, energy research as well as process and engineering systems. SLINTEC is the first public-private research institute in Sri Lanka, and we’re proud to have made significant progress in being a change catalyst in the field of science for over a decade.
We’ve focused all our resources to create technologies that will solve many pressing problems in emerging nations such as Sri Lanka. These problems may include, but aren’t limited to, affordable food security, affordable and clean energy, safe drinking water, healthcare and sustainable economic development. In aligning with our founding mission, we’ve dedicated all our resources to find innovative and internationally competing solutions to these issues.
It is our aim to build a futuristic nanotechnology and science park with advanced facilities to support all interested stakeholders to pursue their research & development. We will provide all our clients with experienced and competent research personnel along with the right tools to help design and develop something of great value. While our primarily focus was on nano and advanced technologies, we’ve expanded our research portfolio to include synthetic organic chemistry & nutraceuticals.
With the expertise and success that we’ve already gained, we wish to embark on new areas of research that are relevant to the development of the industrial base in Sri Lanka within an internationally competitive landscape.
