The Europe-focused iteration seeks to highlight Bangladesh’s economic achievements and industrial prowess at Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Slated for 17-18 April 2025, the event will be organised by Bangladesh Apparel Exchange (BAE) and supported by PDS Limited, in collaboration with The City Bank PLC, Bangladesh, KDS Group, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), and the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA).

The upcoming edition intends to serve as a platform for mutual learning, partnership development, and cross-sectoral commercial growth.

More than 50 leading Bangladeshi companies from eight sectors will demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, circularity, and transparency at the Europe-based show.

The two-day event will feature panel discussions on diverse topics such as economic growth and digital innovation, dynamic exhibitions, and fashion shows that reflect Bangladesh’s evolving commercial environment.

With more than 40 global speakers and an expected attendance of over 1,500 participants, the platform is poised to promote dialogue and partnership development.

The two-day conference will host five panel discussions delving into Bangladesh’s economic growth and investment opportunities, position the country as a global sourcing hub, empowering workers, driving innovation, advancements and opportunities within the agricultural sector and unlocking digital potential.

The event will see exhibitions from major players such as 4A Yarn Dyeing, Brain Station 23, BJIT Group, Delmas Apparels, KDS Group, Bondstein Technologies, City Bank, Shangu Tex, Pacific Jeans, Paddock’s Jeans, Shin Shin Apparels and others.

Bangladesh Apparel Exchange founder and CEO Mostafiz Uddin said: “This event offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with industry leaders and policymakers, presenting Bangladesh’s potential as a leading investment destination. Through exhibitions, networking sessions, and dynamic panel discussions, we aim to drive conversations that lead to real collaboration.

“Moreover, The Best of Bangladesh in Europe offers European consumers a chance to experience quality products and the inspiring narratives of ‘Made in Bangladesh’ that remain largely unknown.

“This is your chance to meet like-minded individuals, find partners, and explore investment opportunities in Bangladesh. Let’s come together and create something truly extraordinary.” In January this year, Bangladesh revealed plans to merge its five regional investment promotion agencies (IPAs) into one centre and target priority sectors to attract and streamline foreign direct investment (FDI) to the country.
