Story Ideas & Pitch Angles

We package local economic stories backed by global research for reporters and local media desks.

The AI Job Displacement Story

Millions of jobs are changing. Sri Lanka is helping workers write what comes next.

Key Stat: 92 million jobs will be displaced by AI by 2030 — creating an urgent need to unlock new entrepreneurial pathways. (World Economic Forum)

Pitch Focus: Focuses on how Global Entrepreneurship Week events act as an optimistic launchpad for anxious or displaced white-collar workers looking to build their next move.

The Missing Entrepreneurs Story

73% of missing entrepreneurs are women. Sri Lanka's GEW is changing that.

Key Stat: There would be 34 million more entrepreneurs in OECD countries if all groups had the same startup rate as men aged 30–49. (OECD)

Pitch Focus: Highlights dedicated women-focused programming and female founders driving local high-growth businesses, addressing gender economic inequality.

The Gen Z Side Hustle Story

66% of young people are building something. Most don't call it a business yet.

Key Stat: 66% of Gen Z and millennials have started or plan to start a side hustle. Yet fewer than 10% are working on a traditional startup. (OECD / Intuit)

Pitch Focus: Focuses on the bridge between high student aspirations and low execution. Shows local youth-led project founders making ideas tangible.

The Local High Street Celebration

The economy isn't built in corporate boardrooms. It's built on local streets.

Key Stat: MSMEs account for 90% of businesses, 60-70% of employment, and 50% of GDP worldwide. (United Nations)

Pitch Focus: A community story celebrating the neighborhood builders—the local bakeries, childminders, and mechanics who support their community infrastructure.
