Three industries in Bangladesh–namely the business process outsourcing (BPO) and software industry, the informal sector, and the startup ecosystem–have been identified as key economic opportunities for Bangladesh to accelerate its inclusive growth in the digital age in a strategy primer published by the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD) in partnership with the University of Oxford’s Digital Pathways Initiative. The strategy primer, unveiled in an online event titled “Launching of Strategy Primer: The Future of Digital in Bangladesh” on 5 April, was crafted in close collaboration with the Information and Communication Technology Division (ICT) Division of the Government of Bangladesh and co-created through robust desk research and a series of dialogue sessions with government agencies, private sectors, and civil society organizations.
