Every year, BASIS organizes the largest and the most ambitious tech exposition in Bangladesh. Being the largest national software, IT and ITES exposition, BASIS SoftExpo promises to showcase the latest and the most innovative solutions the tech industry has to offer to both corporate and individual end-users. The exposition’s main aim is to highlight the successes of private sector IT and tech based organizations and to promote the local industry both nationally and internationally. Additionally, SoftExpo is a highly sought-after platform for international tech firms and potential investors willing to establish trade links with the country’s tech industry. The growth in magnitude and success of SoftExpo through the years is a testament to the country burgeoning tech sector, which sees a steady rise in the number of successful start-ups, SMEs and tech giants annually. Keeping in line with the country’s Digital Bangladesh vision, SoftExpo not only promises to boost trade and the national market for IT and ITES services and products, but it also lends itself as a key marker of growth and progress of the nation’s IT sector. Industry focused zones Whether it is the grand reveal of a groundbreaking IT/ITES product or services, or a panel discussion on the prevalent cyber security threats the country needs to tackle, SoftExpo delivers these diverse sessions through allocating different zones focusing on a particular subset within the industry. The prevalent zones include fintech zone, digital education zone, software zone, mobile innovation zone, e-commerce zone, ITES zone and business process outsourcing zone. There is also a zone on Industry 4.0 that delves into the field and application of smart technologies and the prospects of big data. Relevant stakeholders and end-users are able to efficiently navigate their way in the exposition through the specialized zones.
Project Showcasing Being a major hub where innovators and solution seekers collide, SoftExpo is also a place where various noteworthy projects receive a platform to be showcased. This presents a crucial opportunity for Industry-Academia collaboration where students, academics and researchers can showcase their projects which could potentially turn into real business prospects.
