Full Article

A draft of the National Digital Transformation Strategy aims to expedite Bangladesh's digital transformation by 2030, positioning the country among the top 15 in the UN E-Government Development Index. The strategy includes ambitious goals such as achieving a $5 billion ICT export and training 7-8 million ICT professionals. This initiative is a response to the inadequacies of the previous 'Smart Bangladesh' plan, focusing on a more structured and inclusive approach.

The plan also emphasizes the importance of AI-driven automation in public services and aims to establish Bangladesh as a hub for AI and the Fourth Industrial Revolution in South Asia. Experts have welcomed the strategy but stress the need for collaboration between industry, academia, and government to ensure its success.
