Bangladesh climbed six spots to 83rd in the 'Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2024' by StartupBlink, with Dhaka rising 71 places to 140th among 1,000 cities and ranking 7th in South Asia for Agtech. South Asian countries showed similar progress, with Pakistan and Sri Lanka also advancing. The report highlighted Bangladesh's large, tech-savvy population as an asset but noted challenges like limited high-speed internet, funding access, complex regulations, and global exposure. Notable startups included Pathao, ShopUp, and Shohoz. Support initiatives like the IDEA Project and Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority were praised. The report called for better internet infrastructure, venture capital, startup-friendly policies, and industry-academia collaboration to bolster growth.
