This event will bring together delegates from Bangladesh’s public and private educational institutions, inventors, professionals, startups institutions, high-commissions and embassies from various countries, as well as startups from hundreds of different local and foreign communities, clubs, and trade associations.
The Innovation Design and Entrepreneurship Academy (iDEA) project will host this event, which will also include the Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC), Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority, Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA), A2I, and Startup Bangladesh Limited.
