BIDA chief leads delegation to Türkiye to deepen investment ties

The delegation includes senior officials from the Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA), the National Board of Revenue (NBR), and other key government agencies.

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, is providing technical support for the visit.

During the four-day mission from October 7 to 9, the team will hold a series of Government-to-Business (G2B) meetings with major Turkish conglomerates, including existing investors in Bangladesh and potential new investors exploring opportunities in sectors such as textiles, energy, processed foods, ICT, logistics, FMCG, healthcare and electronics.

The visit also includes a formal institutional exchange with Invest in Türkiye, the country’s national investment promotion agency. With technical assistance from IFC, BIDA officials will participate in capacity-building workshops on foreign direct investment (FDI) pipeline development, investor services, and policy reform.

The mission will culminate with the Bangladesh–Türkiye Investment Seminar in Istanbul on October 9, co-hosted by BIDA and the Embassy of Bangladesh in Türkiye.

The seminar aims to showcase Bangladesh’s growing investment potential and highlight success stories of leading Turkish companies, including Koç Holding and Aygaz.

It will feature sector-focused presentations, interactive Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities for Turkish business leaders and Bangladeshi officials to promote cross-border collaboration, reports UNB.
