A three-day fair to display products made by the young entrepreneurs begins today in the city’s Dhanmondi.
The fair named as “Uddyokta Haat” at the Women Voluntary Association’s auditorium will exhibit products including IT, software, gadgets, handicrafts, readymade garments and jewellery.
A number of 42 young and innovative entrepreneurs will participate in the event.
With the slogan “We will not look for jobs but give jobs,” the exhibition will continue till Wednesday.
Bangladesh Open Source Network (BdOSN) has introduced the event while Facebook-based group “Chakri Khujbo Na Chakri Debo”, a platform working to encourage young entrepreneurs, is the organiser.
“The number of unemployed youth has reached around 3 crore in Bangladesh. Providing jobs to them is a great challenge now,” said Munir Hasan, general secretary of BdOSN.
“If we could develop SME sector of the country and encourage young people to entrepreneurship, it would be easier to deal with such challenges. Uddyokta Haat is one such initiative in this regard,” he said.
