This
is going be one of the mega digital events of this year. The ICT Minister
Junaid Ahmed Palak was present as a chief guest at the announcement. He said
the background of the expo was created at the second meeting of the Digital
Taskforce held on August. The Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina spoke of a dream.
That was - digital devices will be made in our country and those products will
be export abroad by the 'Made in Bangladesh' tag line.
The
minister said 'We took that challenge. Since then I have been working on this
expo, led by the Prime Minister's ICT Advisor Sajeeb Wazed Joy and this is
going to be real.’
Referring
to the government's various initiatives in the preparation of digital devices,
the Minister said that to innovate digital devices, we have to pay high import
tariff on different types of raw material. The government has reduced the
tariffs on the import of such raw materials. Some of which dropped down to
zero.
As
a result, digital device manufacturers have grown in the country in recent
years. Many of them have already begun production and export. Through this, a
large number of jobs are going to be created for our younger generation.
Hosne
Ara Begum, chairman of the Expo co-organizer, Bangladesh High Tech Park
Authority, said, ‘For the first time we are organizing together with BASIS. We
are now much more capable in ICT. That's what we want the world to know. At the
same time I want to make the younger generation more involved with ICT.’ The
BCS president Shahid-Ul Munir, said ‘We are proud to be a partner with the
event. We believe some great initiatives will come up through this 'Digital
Device and Innovation Expo-2019.
Among
others, the BASIS President Syed Almas Kabir, E-CAB President Shami Kaiser, ICT
Secretary NM Ziaul Alam, Project Director of a2i Abdul Mannan also spoke on the
