The Faculty of Science at the University of Peradeniya organizes an annual event called Startup Day. This event is a collaborative effort between the SIRED, Science Industry Interaction Cell (SIIC), and the Career Enhancement and Guidance Committee, and it is highly anticipated by students.

Startup Day serves as a valuable opportunity for both companies and undergraduate students. For companies, it provides a platform to expand their reach and influence by connecting with the next generation of talent. It allows them to identify potential future employees and develop relationships with students who may become valuable assets to their organizations.

Simultaneously, undergraduate students benefit by gaining knowledge and practical experience. They have the chance to explore and learn from established companies, helping them understand the real-world applications of their academic studies. This hands-on experience equips them with valuable insights, skills, and a deeper understanding of their chosen career paths, making them more competitive and prepared for their future roles in the industry.
