Discover. Connect. Buy Local.

A digital business directory connecting Bangladeshi entrepreneurs, manufacturers, artisans, service providers, SMEs, startups and local brands with customers and new business opportunities.

About the Initiative

Made in Bangladesh Digital Directory is a digital initiative designed to bring Bangladesh’s diverse business ecosystem together in one organized and accessible space.

Across Bangladesh, thousands of entrepreneurs, manufacturers, artisans, service providers and emerging brands are creating valuable products and delivering quality services. Yet many of these businesses remain difficult to discover beyond their immediate communities or social media presence.

This initiative aims to bridge that visibility gap by creating a structured digital directory where businesses can showcase who they are, what they offer and how people can connect with them.

From a local entrepreneur in a district town to an established manufacturer, a growing technology startup or a traditional artisan business, the platform is designed to give Bangladeshi businesses greater digital visibility and opportunities to connect.

Our Vision

To create a trusted digital gateway for discovering Bangladeshi businesses, products, services and entrepreneurial talent—locally and, over time, globally.

We envision a platform where businesses from every region and sector can establish a professional digital presence and become easier for customers, partners, buyers and other businesses to discover.

What You Can Discover

The directory will bring businesses from diverse sectors together through organized categories, making it easier to search, explore and connect.

Fashion & Textile

Fashion brands, textile businesses, traditional clothing, designers, boutiques, manufacturers and related enterprises.

Handicrafts & Artisan Products

Handmade products, traditional crafts, artisan businesses, cottage industries and locally produced heritage-inspired products.

Food & Agro

Food brands, agricultural businesses, processed food producers, agro-based enterprises and local food businesses.

Manufacturing

Local manufacturers, industrial businesses, factories, product manufacturers, packaging companies and related enterprises.

Technology

Software companies, IT service providers, technology startups, SaaS businesses and digital solution providers.

Creative Services

Branding agencies, design studios, photographers, animation and production businesses, content creators and other creative service providers.

Women-led Businesses

Businesses founded, owned or led by women, providing greater visibility and opportunities for women entrepreneurs.

Youth Entrepreneurs

Startups and businesses founded or led by young entrepreneurs, helping emerging businesses gain exposure and build connections.

Built for Business Discovery & Connection

Made in Bangladesh Digital Directory is designed to go beyond simply listing business names.

Each participating business can have a structured digital profile that may include:

  • Business name and logo
  • Business description
  • Products or services
  • Industry and category
  • Business location
  • Contact information
  • Website and social media links
  • Business images
  • Years of operation
  • Relevant business information
  • Verification status, where applicable

This creates a professional and organized way for people to discover businesses and learn more about what they offer.

Connecting Businesses with Opportunities

Visibility is only the beginning.

The directory is designed to create opportunities for businesses to connect with:

Customers
Discover new products and services from businesses across Bangladesh.

Business Partners
Find potential collaborators, suppliers and service providers.

Retailers & Distributors
Explore businesses and products that may offer partnership or distribution opportunities.

Corporate & Institutional Buyers

Potential Markets

Verified Business Listings

Trust and authenticity will be important elements of the directory.

Depending on the type of listing and applicable requirements, businesses may be asked to provide relevant information such as business details, contact information, business address and trade license information.

Submitted information may be reviewed according to the platform’s verification criteria, with an appropriate verification status displayed where applicable.

Verification will be intended to provide greater transparency about the information submitted by a listed business and will not represent a government certification or guarantee of product or service quality.

Why Made in Bangladesh?

Bangladesh has a diverse and rapidly evolving entrepreneurial landscape.

From traditional craftsmanship and local manufacturing to technology startups and modern creative businesses, the country has a growing pool of talent, products and services.

However, being in business and being discoverable are not always the same thing.

Many businesses have limited digital visibility. Some rely primarily on social media, while others have little structured online presence at all.

Made in Bangladesh Digital Directory aims to make these businesses easier to find, explore and connect with—helping turn local visibility into new opportunities.

Supporting Local Businesses

We believe that digital visibility can play an important role in strengthening local businesses.

The initiative aims to encourage people to:

Discover Local Businesses
Find businesses, products and services from Bangladesh.

Connect with Entrepreneurs
Build direct connections with business owners and service providers.

Support Local Growth
Help local businesses reach wider audiences and potential markets.

Promote Made in Bangladesh
Increase awareness of the products, services and talent being developed across the country.

More Than a Business Directory

Made in Bangladesh Digital Directory is envisioned as more than a collection of business listings.

Over time, the initiative can evolve into a broader digital ecosystem supporting:

  • Business discovery
  • Digital visibility
  • Business networking
  • Product and service showcase
  • Buyer–supplier connections
  • Local business promotion
  • Entrepreneur stories
  • Industry spotlights
  • Business opportunities and events
  • Market discovery
  • Export-oriented visibility

The long-term goal is to create meaningful connections between businesses, customers and opportunities.

Connecting Businesses Across Bangladesh

The initiative is designed to represent businesses beyond the major commercial centers.

A textile business from Tangail, an agro-enterprise from Bogura, a handicraft entrepreneur from Rajshahi, a manufacturer from Narayanganj, a technology startup from Dhaka or a tourism-related business from Sylhet can all have a place within the same digital ecosystem.

Geography should not be a barrier to digital visibility.

Every promising Bangladeshi business deserves an opportunity to be discovered.

Our Commitment

Made in Bangladesh Digital Directory is built around four core principles:

Visibility

Helping businesses establish a stronger and more structured digital presence.

Authenticity

Encouraging accurate and transparent business information.

Connection

Creating pathways between businesses, customers and potential partners.

Opportunity

Helping local businesses become visible to wider markets and new possibilities.
