The government is planning to launch ‘Saathi’, a Bangladeshi virtual AI assistant app, according to an official press release. 

The team from Bangladesh has won 3 gold and 2 silver awards at the International Invention, Innovation and Technology Exhibition (ITEX) 2023 competition, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The government’s a2i programme is set to become a full-fledged agency, entering the software and digital innovations industry as a government-subsidised player, but creating uncertainty for local tech companies.

Digital payments can boost Bangladesh’s gross domestic product by 1.7 per cent a year, an addition of $6.2 billion annually to the economy, according to a new report.

Microsoft Bangladesh signs a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with A2i programme.
