Since the dawn of Industrial revolution in 1780s, mankind’s progress can be measured by the unprecedented growth in health, communication and creation of wealth. Today almost every corner of the world is connected in a network of technology through internet and mobile phones. The unprecedented connectivity brought us all into a flat world, where people all around the world are enjoying the privile
ge of accessing infinite knowledge at their fingertips, at their own preference and convenience using technology. As a result, the world around us is changing and growing at a breath taking speed. The globalization in the last three decades opened a new window for every nation to conduct advanced international trade, access to knowledge and efficient transportation of goods and services. The wave of growth and development has also reached Bangladesh. With the successful achievements of major MDG goals, Bangladesh has emerged as a new growth model for developing countries.

The country is set to join as a member of middle income country in the next five years, and become a developed country by 2041 at the end of 11th national five year strategic development plan.
