International Trade Centre (ITC) is going to organise three Business-to-Business (B2B) events in Europe this month and December under Netherlands Trust Fund-III Bangladesh project, reports BSS.
The events, focusing on information technology (IT) and ITES (IT enabled service) industry, will be held in London tomorrow, in Copenhagen on November 19 and in Amsterdam on December 3.
A total of 38 Bangladeshi IT and ITES companies will take part in the events to meet with European buyers for exploring outsourcing business opportunities to Bangladesh, said a BASIS press release. Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) and Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) are cooperating to organise the event.
“Building on the work done under the previous NTF-II project, the NTF-III Bangladesh project will also organise B2B events in Europe and Bangladesh throughout the project until mid-2017,” said M Mahfuzul Quader, National Project Coordinator, NTF-III Bangladesh Project.
The B2B event would help to increase Bangladesh’s IT and ITES exports and offer business development opportunities to Bangladeshi companies, that would pave the way of more employments for young people, especially women.
“The Bangladeshi companies participating in the B2B events could be able to reap full benefits and make progress towards achieving One Bangladesh target,” said BASIS president Shameem Ahsan.
ITC also plans to organise similar B2B events mobilising trade delegations from the UK, Denmark and the Netherlands to Digital World 2015 in early next year.
NTF-III Bangladesh Project is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the CBI (Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries).
