The NRB World Summit, described as one of the largest-ever gatherings of Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRBs), is scheduled to take place in Dhaka on December 28–29, 2026. Nearly 1,000 NRBs are expected to participate in the two-day summit.
NRB entrepreneurs, business leaders, doctors, engineers, scientists, university professors, IT professionals and representatives from various other professions from around 25 countries are expected to attend the summit.
Large delegations are also expected from several international business chambers and organizations, including the America-Bangladesh Chamber, Canada-Bangladesh Chamber, British-Bangladesh Chamber, UK-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UKBCCI), Bangladesh Business Council in Dubai, Singapore-Bangladesh Chamber, Japan-Bangladesh Chamber, Korea-Bangladesh Chamber and Australia-Bangladesh Chamber.
Delegations from major Bangladeshi business groups and chambers will also participate. The initiative aims to create opportunities for networking and collaboration between Bangladeshi businesses and professionals and their NRB counterparts. Senior policymakers and high-level representatives of the Government of Bangladesh are also expected to attend the convention.
The NRB World Summit is being organized by Global NRB World, one of the largest platforms representing Non-Resident Bangladeshis. NRB Family Support and Business America Magazine are joining as co-organizers.
The two-day convention will feature a range of activities, including thematic seminars on health, education, development, economics, ICT and other important sectors. Distinguished professionals and experts from Bangladesh and abroad will participate as keynote speakers and panelists in these sessions.
The summit will also host the Global NRB Awards, recognizing Non-Resident Bangladeshis who have made significant contributions across various sectors.
According to Enamul Haque Enam, Founder of Global NRB World, the primary objective of this year’s Global NRB Summit is to establish an effective bridge between Bangladesh and its diaspora.
“We want to build this relationship on a two-way basis,” he said. The initiative will encourage successful NRB entrepreneurs and business leaders to explore investment opportunities in Bangladesh while also creating avenues for skilled NRB professionals from different sectors to contribute their expertise to Bangladeshi businesses and entrepreneurs.
The summit is expected to provide a major platform for strengthening investment, knowledge exchange, professional networking and business collaboration between Bangladesh and its global diaspora.
