Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus -File PhotoDHAKA, Jan 27, 2026 (BSS) - Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus today said that the main purpose of technology is not merely to boost productivity but to make people's lives easier, create new opportunities and reduce inequality in society. With the theme 'Bangladesh to the World', the four-day expo is being jointly organised by the ICT Division, Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority and Bangladesh Computer Samity (BCS) and will continue until January 31. Terming the theme timely and appropriate, Prof Yunus said it reflects Bangladesh's strong determination to transform itself from a technology-using nation into a producer, innovator and global partner. The Chief Adviser said that alongside building a technology-enabled ecosystem, the government's initiatives are helping create a safe, transparent and investment-friendly environment, thereby accelerating technology-based industrialisation and encouraging innovation. Prof Yunus wished overall success of all programmes of the DDIExpo 2026.
