A three-day exposition on digital devices and innovations is scheduled to be organised by the ICT Division at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center in Dhaka in October.

Prime Minister’s ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed will inaugurate the event, which is being termed “the first of its kind in the country” and will promote homegrown technologies and innovations. “There will be a separate zone for local organisations who are manufacturing technological products,” Zunaid Ahmed Palak, state minister for ICT, told a press conference at the Janata Tower Software Technology Park on Friday.

The Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority, the Innovation Design and Entrepreneurship Academy (IDEA) Project, the a2i and the Bangladesh Computer Samity will also be part of the event, he added.

“Digital Bangladesh is not a dream now — it is a reality. We all are enjoying the facilities of Digital Bangladesh. We are also advancing towards the road of development,” Palak said.

Entry is free to the event, which is open from 10:00am to 8:00pm. Attendees need to register online or can avail spot registration.

Hosne Ara Begum, managing director of the Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority, Syed Mojibul Haque, project director of the IDEA, and Md Shahid-Ul-Munir, president of the Bangladesh Computer Samity, also spoke.
