FBCCI’s ‘Smart Bangladesh’ confce on July 15

The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) is going to organise a conference focusing on the private sector's role in building "Smart Bangladesh", said the apex trade body yesterday. 

The event, titled "Business Conference on Building Smart Bangladesh", will take place at Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC) on July 15. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to attend the program as chief guest, it said.

The trade body made the disclosure after a preparatory meeting joined by the chiefs of chambers and associations affiliated with the FBCCI.

The private sector accounts for 82 per cent of the country's businesses, said FBCCI President Md Jashim Uddin at the meeting.

He said they would hand over a book capturing the achievements of Bangladesh Business Summit 2023 which was organised this year to showcase Bangladesh's trade and investment potential to the world.

The publication will contain opinions of experts who participated in the summit as well as recommendations and policies discussed during the event, said the trade body.
