Speaking about the goals of the delegation, Dr. Sabur Khan said, “Our vision is to bridge local innovation with global partnerships. We want to ensure that our entrepreneurs — both aspiring and established — have better access to knowledge, investment, and international networks. GEC is the best platform to explore how entrepreneurship ecosystems are being shaped around the world.”

GEN Bangladesh’s key focus at GEC 2025 includes: Building strategic innovation partnerships, Exploring access to funding for Bangladeshi startups, Learning best practices on entrepreneurship policy and ecosystem building, Promoting Bangladesh as a hub for inclusive and impact-driven entrepreneurship
