For the first time in Europe, Bangladeshi manufacturers and entrepreneurs will be present at the prestigious #DDW2022 in Eindhoven, Netherlands, reports UNB.
Every year, hundreds of designers, innovators converge at the largest design event in Europe where emerging trends in design, innovation, new materials, sustainability, concepts are showcased to entrepreneurs from Europe and far beyond.
As Europe moves towards a Circular Economy and driven by the EU Green Deal, consumers are increasingly sensitive towards goods with least carbon footprint and are demanding newer kinds of goods, according to the Embassy of Bangladesh in The Hague.
The transforming European landscape thus promises opportunities for Bangladeshi manufacturers to invest in "design thinking" and secure greater competitiveness and productivity, especially as Bangladesh emerges as a middle-income country.
Bangladesh embassy, partnering with Eindhoven International Project office (EIPO) of Brainport, is organising a day-long event on October 27 to pitch Bangladesh.
The event aims to facilitate match-making between some of the leading, innovative Bangladeshi manufacturers with interested Dutch entrepreneurs and designers.
Bangladeshi participants will also visit the leading Dutch Design Academy in understanding the need and scope of 'design' in manufacturing.
Leading Bangladeshi companies namely Apex Footwear, ACI, Nourish, Monno Ceramic and Walton will join the event.
