The remarks were made at the inauguration of the three-day 2nd Bangladesh Light Engineering Expo 2026, organised by the Bangladesh Engineering Industry Owners Association (BEIOA), which began in the capital today. The expo will run until February 4 and remain open daily from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, showcasing the latest technologies, components, machinery, and innovative products from the country’s light engineering sector.

At present, exports from the light engineering sector stand at approximately $795 million.
