GS1 Lanka held its 10th Annual General Meeting on September 25, 2026, focusing on the next phase of product identification in Sri Lanka. The organization is guiding the shift from traditional barcodes to 2D barcodes, such as QR codes and Data Matrix codes, for product identification. Under the GS1 Sunrise 2027 initiative, GS1 Lanka is working with the retail and healthcare sectors in Sri Lanka to prepare businesses for this transition, which aims to be complete by the end of 2027.
