The event will continue until Saturday, September 19.
Speaking as chief guest, managing director of Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority Md Fazlur Rahman said: “Such international events will help strengthen our national security system. This is not merely a technology showcase; it is also an effective platform for raising awareness about security and safety, building networks and increasing public-private partnerships. The government is committed to establishing close partnerships with the international security industry in the areas of electronic and cybersecurity in Bangladesh. We all need to work together to build a safe and prosperous Bangladesh.”
At the inauguration ceremony, secretary general of the Bangladesh Computer Samity (BCS) Mohammed Monirul Islam delivered the welcome address: “With the rapid digitalization and industrialization of the country, security, workplace safety and preparedness for emergencies must also be strengthened.
