The Bangladesh Investment Summit 2025 will take place from April 7 to 10 at InterContinental Dhaka, aiming to highlight the country’s investment opportunities to global investors.

The government-organized event has drawn significant interest, with over 550 investors from 50 countries registering alongside more than 2,500 local participants.

Speaking at a press conference at the Foreign Service Academy, Ashik Chowdhury, executive chairman of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), expressed optimism about the summit’s impact. “We want investors to see the real picture of Bangladesh. This is about showcasing the opportunities without creating false expectations,” he said.

Chowdhury noted that many foreign investors lack adequate knowledge of Bangladesh’s economic landscape. The summit will serve as a platform to highlight key investment sectors, strong economic growth, and investor-friendly policies.

This year, the event will focus on attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) in five priority sectors, including healthcare and garments, to drive sustainable economic growth.

Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus will formally inaugurate the summit on April 9, with ambassadors, business executives, and policymakers in attendance. Industry leaders from Meta, Uber, Telenor, and Samsung are also expected to participate.

While a dramatic increase in investment is not expected immediately, Chowdhury anticipates at least a 2—to 3-percent rise, reinforcing Bangladesh’s position as an emerging investment destination.
