Globinar Bridging Bangladesh and the US with Trade, Tech and Humans in the Global Supply Chains

This 60-minute program will examine how Bangladesh can remain competitive in international trade with the US while responding to changes in technology, artificial intelligence, automation, global sourcing, buyer requirements, labor conditions, and supply-chain disruptions.

The conversation should not focus only on the problems. We want to identify practical opportunities for:

• Connecting qualified Bangladeshi producers with U.S. buyers;

• Expanding wearable and smart-textile technology;

• Improving international contracts and trade compliance;

• Protecting and retraining workers as technology changes production;

• Attracting investment and technology partners;

• Diversifying Bangladesh’s exports to the US market; and

• Developing specific follow-up projects between Bangladesh and Chicago companies.
