Local businesspeople and professionals would be able to build up a network with NRBs during the event, where high-level policymakers from the Bangladesh government will also take part.
‘NRB World’, the largest platform for expatriate Bangladeshis, has organised the NRB Global Convention, with support from NRB Family Support and Business America Magazine.
Various events will take place during the day-long event, which include seminars on health, education, development, economy, and IT.
‘NRB Award’ will be presented during this event to expatriate Bangladeshis who have made significant contributions in various sectors.
“The main goal of this year’s NRB Convention is to create an effective bridge between home and abroad through bilateral relationships,” Enamul Haque Enam, the founder of NRB World, said.
While encouraging large entrepreneurs and businessmen abroad to invest in the country, efforts will also continue to ensure that skilled expatriate professionals in various sectors can contribute to local entrepreneurs’ efforts, he said.
