The European country of the Netherlands hosted the launch of the ‘Best of Bangladesh in Europe’ conference and exhibition on 17th April, aiming to promote Bangladeshi products and forge new business relationships with international buyers. Organized by the Bangladesh Apparel Exchange (BAE), this marks the second edition of the event, which seeks to highlight Bangladesh’s diverse sectors and increase its presence in European markets.
Supported by PDS Limited, City Bank, KDS Group, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh, and the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), the two-day event is being held at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam. It features participation from over 40 Bangladeshi companies across eight key sectors, including ready-made garments and textiles, information technology, agro-processed foods, seeds, poultry, jute, handicrafts, the financial sector, and startups. These exhibitors aim to showcase their innovative products, sustainable practices, circularity efforts, and transparency initiatives.
This event follows the inaugural ‘Best of Bangladesh’ held in September 2023 at the Gashouder Westergas venue in Amsterdam, which featured 34 companies from the apparel, agro-processed products, handicrafts, and IT sectors. The current edition aims to further strengthen Bangladesh’s trade ties and showcase its growing industrial capabilities on the European stage.
