President’s Message
Welcome to the Africa Bangladesh Business Forum (ABBF).
ABBF was established with a vision to strengthen trade, investment, and business cooperation between Bangladesh and African countries. As global markets continue to evolve, we believe that Bangladesh and Africa have tremendous opportunities to work together in areas such as export, import, manufacturing, agriculture, technology, infrastructure, investment, and entrepreneurship.
Our goal is to create a trusted platform where Bangladeshi businesses can connect with African buyers, investors, distributors, and institutions. Through business summits, trade shows, B2B matchmaking, networking programs, and strategic partnerships, ABBF is committed to building meaningful business relationships and long-term economic collaboration.
Africa represents one of the world’s fastest-growing regions, while Bangladesh continues to grow as a competitive hub for quality products, skilled services, and industrial development. By connecting these two dynamic regions, ABBF aims to open new doors for businesses and contribute to shared prosperity.
I sincerely thank our members, partners, sponsors, and stakeholders for their continuous support and confidence in ABBF. Together, we look forward to building a stronger future for Africa–Bangladesh trade and investment.
