Training on
development of bankable business proposals
European Union funded AICRSL project, implemented by United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), in collaboration with SLIIT, is pleased to announce the Call for Applications to participate in its 3rd training on development of bankable business proposals for energy and resource efficiency investments in industries.
Why should you consider this bankable proposal development training?
Many industries have identified opportunities to reduce energy and resource costs. However, converting these opportunities into actual investments often requires a strong business case.
This workshop will help companies develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to transform their project ideas into credible and financially sound business proposals that can support management decision-making and access to financing.
What can you expect from this training?
Over two days, participants will receive practical guidance on:
- Sustainable finance;
- Key elements of a bankable business proposal;
- Financial analysis;
- Risk analysis and mitigation;
- SWOT analysis; and
- Available financing options.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own project ideas. Financial and technical experts will provide guidance to help develop these ideas into structured and bankable business proposals.
Upon completion of the programme, participants will have developed a comprehensive, investment-ready project proposal that can be presented to internal management for approval or submitted to a financial institution for financing.
Companies that successfully submit a finalized proposal will receive a certificate.
When and where the training will be held?
The two-day, in-person workshop will take place in Colombo on 18th and 19th November, 2026 and will be limited to 50 participants from 25 selected companies.
The workshop will be followed by review, feedback and guidance from experts to complete each proposal.
How much will it cost?
The training will be delivered free of charge.
Who can apply?
The workshop is open to manufacturing entities with an identified energy efficiency, resource efficiency or other GHG mitigation project.
Priority will be given to companies previously trained under the AICRSL Project’s Energy Management Systems (EnMS) and Energy Systems Optimization (ESO) programmes, as well as companies certified under ISO 50001 or ISO 14001.
Each selected company should nominate two representatives one with a technical background and one with a financial or business background.
