1. Introduction
1.1. Product
A sustainable energy solution along with improved safety and cost savings are offered by Encap, a product of Enercap Industries. This is a lithium-ion battery that concerns with chemical electrolytes and reactions during charge and discharge are lessened by Encap's non-chemical energy storage technology. By promoting electrification and decarbonisation programs, the organization hopes to combat climate change by utilizing effective, long-term energy storage. Leading the way in energy storage, Encap is dedicated to making the most of plentiful resources while having the least negative impact on the environment.
1.2. Target country
The product is targeting to be produced in Sri Lanka as a solution for the energy consumption matters aroused at the country. The product and company provide substantial cost savings for renewable energy solutions. Sri Lanka being some country rich with natural resources, but unable to take the maximum of them faces a huge challenge due to the economic and political instability. Sri Lanka faced to huge crisis with the lack of enough fuel and daily power outages in 2022 (Wijerathne, 2022). With this, individuals, businesses and even the government is welcoming new products that could help to sort out these issues. In 2022 budget has specially mentioned on environment sustainability and products that helps in the process will be encouraged to produce more (Perera, 2022). By selecting the country, we plan to,
• Support technological development in Sri Lanka by continuing research and development initiatives aimed at improving non-chemical energy storage technology and keeping it at the forefront of industry innovation.
• Increase Market Penetration in Sri Lanka: Take advantage of Encap's high performance and non-chemical composition to gain market share and create leadership in the energy storage industry.
• Boost the company's reputation as an environmentally conscientious supplier of energy storage in Sri Lanka by taking advantage of the country's sustainability and lack of chemical reactions.
1.3. Market Entry strategy
Following multinational strategy, With the convenience and the suitability two options were considered as exporting and joint ventures. As with the prevailing situation in Sri Lanka tax rates have increased. And people are not willing to import because consumers are not willing to buy goods with huge price rates. Thus, the chosen entry strategy to bring the product to Sri Lanka is a joint venture. “The joint venture is a commercial enterprise in which two or more companies join their forces to gain a tactical and strategic edge in the market” (Reddy.C, 2021)
Joint venture is merely the beginning of the journey. Should this prove to be effective, the company may choose to pursue an alternative approach to market entry or establish a new enterprise within the chosen country in the future. There is just a minimal amount of risk in a joint venture. This is the main justificat
