The Industrial Technology Institute is a wholly owned institute of the Government of Sri Lanka and functions under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Technology & Research.
A statutory board incorporated on the 1st April 1998, under the Science and Technology Development Act No. 11 of 1994, the Industrial Technology Institute (ITI) is the successor of the Ceylon Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (CISIR).
True to the vision, the institute has grown steadily over the past fifty five years from a humble beginning in 1955 (as CISIR) and has expanded continuously to boast of skills and expertise from a myriad of different scientific disciplines. Thus it is with a fulcrum of knowledge and confidence that we come forward to meet the diverse and increasingly complex demands of our valued clientele.
