A high-level delegation from Bangladesh, led by Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) Executive Chairman Ashik Chowdhury, has arrived in Türkiye on a strategic visit aimed at deepening investment ties and advancing institutional reform and capacity development.

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 cooperation for the visit.

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

The visit also features a formal institutional exchange with Invest in Türkiye, the country’s national investment promotion agency.

With technical support 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 conclude with the Bangladesh–Türkiye Investment Seminar in Istanbul on October 9, co-hosted by BIDA and the Embassy of Bangladesh in Türkiye.

The event will showcase Bangladesh’s growing investment potential and feature success stories from leading Turkish companies such as Koç Holding and Aygaz.

The seminar will include sector-focused presentations, interactive Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities between Turkish business leaders and Bangladeshi officials to promote cross-border collaboration.

Nahian Rahman Rochi, Head of Business Development at BIDA, said, “We’re especially pleased that our existing Turkish investors will be joining us in showcasing Bangladesh’s potential, and it’s exciting to see new Turkish companies reaching out to explore what our strategic location and growing ecosystem have to offer.

This mission is not simply about promoting sectors—it’s about forging meaningful partnerships and drawing practical lessons that can strengthen BIDA’s institutional capacity. We’re grateful to the IFC for supporting this exchange,” he added.
