Future Industries to Meet the Global Demand
To accelerate the development of the country by utilising the immense potential of the trillion-dollar ICT sector in the world market, the government has set a target of five billion in export revenue from the ICT sector and employment of two million people by the year 2030. The following sectors are picking up momentum with a sustainable supply and demand:
Bangladesh’s fintech is helping to boost financial inclusion. Bangladeshis nearly doubled the number of transactions they made using mobile devices between 2016 and 2019, from $27 billion to more than the $51 billion as per the Economist, 2020. Growth has been observed in travel tech too, as first-time domestic travel saw a two-fold growth during the year 2020-2021. The market of IoT is gradually increasing and it is being expected that the rate of this growth will reach 38.3 per cent in 2020, whereas the total market will stand at $267 billion. The adoption process to support electronics vehicles and supporting policy to assist related technologies are also ongoing.
Following the sectoral plans, BHTPA is working on providing support on policy, technology adoption, employee skill-up facilities throughout their investment journey in the Hi-Tech ecosystem.
