The nation’s digital landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, with the e-commerce sector emerging as a pivotal growth driver. The government’s “Digital Bangladesh” initiative has laid the groundwork for a robust digital economy, fostering innovations in mobile financial services and tech startups. The recent draft of the ‘National Digital Transformation Strategy’ aims to expedite this progress, targeting an entire digital economy and innovative governance by 2030 ahead of previous plans.
This strategy envisions Bangladesh ascending into the top 15 nations in the e-government index and becoming a hub for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies in South Asia.
However, challenges such as cybersecurity threats and the need for enhanced digital literacy persist, necessitating comprehensive measures to ensure sustainable growth.
