Bridging Worlds,
Building a Future.
“NRB Connect Day” is an exclusive gathering designed to bring together 500 Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) representing diverse sectors including business, academia, healthcare, technology, and social development. The event will provide a platform to explore opportunities in Bangladesh, access citizen services, and strengthen diaspora engagement for sustainable social and economic impact, while also offering NRBs a space to share their experiences, challenges, and ideas directly with policymakers and institutions.
A Special Address by H. E. Professor Muhammad Yunus
H.E. Professor Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of the Interim Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh and 2006 Nobel Peace Laureate, will address the gathering. The evening will be filled with engaging segments, including a plenary session, recognition of top remittance contributors, the launch of a new digital app, and breakout rooms on investment, citizen services, and diaspora engagement. These sessions will provide NRBs with the opportunity to share their perspectives, raise concerns, contribute ideas, and help shape initiatives that strengthen their connection to Bangladesh.
