Weeklong Bangladesh-Japan B2B event begins

A week-long business-to-business (B2B) match-making event began Monday in Japan for expanding business between Bangladesh and Japan.

Japan-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industries (JBCCI) and Haison International Limited jointly organised the event in Japan, said a press release here.

United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) ITPO Tokyo is providing local support in arranging the events.

A total of 14 Bangladeshi companies in the areas of engineering, construction, logistics, shipping, SEZ management, ICT Park, real estate and hospitality, health and beauty, machinery, tools, automobiles, consultancy, banking and finance are participating in the program for possible business collaboration with the Japanese companies.

This program is the first interactive programme between Bangladeshi companies and Japanese firms after the visit of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh to Japan last month.

In all three events, companies of both countries are interacting with each other and have face-to-face discussions for JV partnerships. The Bangladesh Embassy in Japan is providing the necessary support during the programme.
