Dhaka opens new digital hub as Bangladesh expands tech infrastructure
Fifteen-storey Dhaka Computer City aims to boost entrepreneurship, innovation, and digital commerce under Smart Bangladesh vision
DHAKA, Bangladesh (MNTV) — A new commercial hub for the technology sector has opened in the capital, marking another step in Bangladesh’s push to expand its digital economy. The 15-storey Dhaka Computer City, developed on New Eskaton Road, brings together technology businesses, service providers, and innovators under one roof.
Unveiled on Sunday, the complex is a joint venture between Hazari Group and City Development. Organizers described the project as the country’s most modern IT commercial building, designed to provide young entrepreneurs with long-term office and retail ownership opportunities through flexible bank financing and installment plans.
The initiative is part of a growing private-sector drive to strengthen Bangladesh’s technology infrastructure in line with national digital goals such as Smart Bangladesh 2041. Officials and entrepreneurs said the facility will serve as a one-stop center for IT product distributors, software firms, robotics developers, and e-commerce traders.
According to event speakers, Dhaka Computer City includes state-of-the-art safety systems, high-speed internet, 24-hour security, and dedicated exhibition spaces for hardware, software, and IoT products.
“We are creating a place for IT entrepreneurs that offers permanent and long-term solutions,” said Nazrul Islam Hazari, a Bangladesh Computer Samity director involved in the project.
Industry representatives noted that Bangladesh’s technology market has expanded rapidly over the past decade, with new investments in digital payments, e-commerce logistics, and start-up ecosystems. They said facilities such as Dhaka Computer City would provide a stable physical base for digital enterprises that have so far operated across scattered locations in the capital.
Entrepreneurs and investors from across Dhaka’s established computer markets — including Elephant Road, Mirpur, and Uttara — attended the inauguration. Many described the project as a symbol of the private sector’s growing confidence in the country’s transition toward a technology-driven economy.
