Details

Bangladesh's ICT industry is expanding, which makes it an appealing collaborator for organizations and individuals who wish to conduct business in Japan's ICT market. In different ways, such as cost-effective labor, access to a large market, government support, strong IT education, strategic location, and so on, will be effectively supporting the FDI-makers and also the ICT exporters creating opportunities to increase the concentration in Japan. Bangladesh’s large and young population presents a significant market opportunity for companies looking to outsource, produce and sell ICT products and services. The Bangladeshi government has already identified the ICT sector as a key area and pursued several development projects. Again, Bangladesh has several universities that provide quality education in IT and engineering and produce a large number of graduates every year with IT skills, which can be a source of talent for Japanese companies. In general, Bangladesh offers diverse opportunities for businesses and individuals seeking to conduct business in Japan's ICT sector. Individuals and corporations can access a substantial and expanding market as well as a competitive and talented workforce by working with Bangladeshi businesses and taking advantage of the state’s opportunities and resources. This seminar will encourage the significant potential for Japanese businesses to expand in the region may also be presented by the government's cooperation and the nation's advantageous position.
