TBT DESK: Dhaka is set to host the NRB Global Convention on 30 December 2025, billed as the largest-ever gathering of expatriate Bangladeshis, bringing together professionals, entrepreneurs and policymakers from home and abroad.

The convention will see participation from Bangladeshi expatriates representing nearly 25 countries, including entrepreneurs, business leaders, doctors, engineers, scientists, university teachers and IT professionals. Large delegations are also expected from several bilateral chambers and business bodies, including the America-Bangladesh Chamber, Canada-Bangladesh Chamber, British-Bangladesh Chamber, UK-BBCCI, Bangladesh Business Council (Dubai), Singapore-Bangladesh Chamber, Japan-Bangladesh Chamber, Korea-Bangladesh Chamber and Australia-Bangladesh Chamber.

Alongside the expatriate delegates, representatives from leading local business groups and chambers will also attend, with the aim of strengthening networking and collaboration between domestic professionals and NRB entrepreneurs. Senior government policymakers are expected to join the event as well.

The convention is being organised by NRB World, the largest platform for expatriate Bangladeshis, with NRB Family Support and Business America Magazine serving as co-organisers.

Planned as a day-long programme, the convention will feature a series of sector-focused seminars covering health, education, development, the economy and information technology, among others. Renowned personalities from both Bangladesh and the diaspora will take part as keynote speakers and panellists. The event will also host the NRB Awards, recognising expatriate Bangladeshis for their significant contributions across various sectors.

Enamul Haque Enam, founder of NRB World, said the primary objective of this year’s convention is to build an effective bridge between Bangladesh and its global diaspora.
“Our goal is to establish this connection on the basis of a two-way relationship,” he said. “We want to encourage successful NRB entrepreneurs to invest back home, while also creating opportunities for skilled expatriate professionals to contribute their expertise to local enterprises across different sectors.”

The organisers hope the convention will emerge as a meaningful platform for dialogue, partnership and long-term collaboration between Bangladesh and its global community.
