Event Description:

Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the
world, with the third fastest GDP growth rate. Despite its small
geographical size, Bangladesh is on its way to becoming an economic
and cultural giant. In our upcoming Bangladesh Rising Conference,
experts from Harvard and peer institutions, as well as governing
bodies and organizations across Bangladesh, will discuss the nation's
economy, history, art and heritage, entrepreneurship, public health,
and its actions to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Keynote speakers include Kaushik Basu, former Chief Economist of the
World Bank, who will lead a panel on the Bangladesh economy and the
nation's economic resurgence through foreign investment. Abul Kalam
Azad, Principal SDG Coordinator with the Government of the People's
Republic of Bangladesh and the former Principal Secretary to the Prime
Minister of Bangladesh, will discuss the current efforts toward
meeting the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
