Posts and Telecommunications Minister Mustafa Jabbar said that Bangladesh did not go digital suddenly because of the need to know the new generation. For this, many ups and downs have to be overcome. An important part of this digital Bangladesh is the IDB Building. And this Computer City was never weak, not yet. This market plays a very important role than any other market. Because, this is a market in the country, where everyone can shop in a family environment.
He also said, I will do whatever is necessary for the computer industry. The IDB had a tough time before the launch of the Metrorail. After launching the Metrorail, it is now out of confinement, this is happy news. And in the midst of this joy, such a celebration was necessary. I think organizing the fair is a right decision. Besides, a different kind of atmosphere has been created here by making pavilions and stalls in the fair. To conclude, we have always played an important role in the digitization of Bangladesh; we will work as warriors to build a smart Bangladesh.
President of BCS Computer City AL Mazhar Imam Chowdhury (Pinu Chowdhury) said, IDB fair is the fair of our lives. In this 10-day fair, there will be offers-discounts in all shops throughout the market. Besides, the buyers who have given pavilions and stalls will get special benefits in the fair. We started the fair the day after the launch of the Metrorail, hoping that the City IT Mega Fair 2022 would respond
