Bangladesh Investment Summit 2025, hosted by the government, will take place from April 7 to 10 at Inter Continental Dhaka, offering a platform to highlight the country’s evolving investment opportunities.
The event has garnered significant global interest, with over 550 investors from 50 countries registering to join more than 2,500 Bangladeshi investors.
Ashik Chowdhury, Executive Chairman of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), expressed optimism about the summit during a press conference at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka. He emphasized the importance of presenting an accurate picture of Bangladesh’s investment landscape rather than unrealistic expectations.
“Foreign investors often lack comprehensive knowledge of Bangladesh’s economic potential,” Chowdhury stated. “Through this summit, we aim to highlight our strong economic growth, investor-friendly policies, and dynamic business environment.”
The summit will focus on attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly in five priority sectors, including healthcare and garments, to drive sustainable economic growth. The event will be formally inaugurated on April 9 by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, in the presence of ambassadors, top executives, and policymakers.
While a dramatic surge in investments is unlikely overnight, Chowdhury estimates a 2-3% increase in FDI following the summit. Executives from Meta, Uber, Telenor, Samsung, and other global corporations are expected to participate, underscoring the growing international interest in Bangladesh’s investment potential.
