Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) has launched BASIS America desk to facilitate and strengthen ICT business collaborations between Bangladeshi ICT and software companies and their counterparts of the United States of America.
In this connection, a launching ceremony was held on Sunday at a city hotel in the capital.
At the ceremony, Salman F Rahman, and the Private Industry and Investment Adviser to the Prime Minister, was present as the chief guest while Peter D. Haas, U.S. Ambassador to the People's Republic of Bangladesh, was present as guest of Honor at the ceremony.
Additionally, the event was attended by officials from various embassies in Bangladesh, former presidents of BASIS, members of the BASIS executive committee, BASIS members, and senior officials from various government and private
organizations.
Addressing the event, U.S. Ambassador Peter D. Haas said, "BASIS America Desk represents a significant milestone in the growing collaboration between the ICT sectors of Bangladesh and the United States. Transitioning from a closed market to an open market is more beneficial. Bangladesh can leverage AI to enhance the efficiency of its garment and software exports. However, this requires investment in human resource development and increased investment".
