BCI, SME Foundation tie up for capacity building of small, medium industries

Bangladesh Chamber of Industries (BCI) has tied up with SME Foundation to jointly work towards development and capacity building of the small and medium enterprises across the country, reports UNB.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the two organizations at a function at the SME Foundation office at Agargaon on Thursday.
BCI president Anwar-ul Alam Chowdhury (Parvez) and SME Foundation managing director Dr Md Mofizur Rahman signed the deal on behalf of their respective sides. SME Foundation Chairperson Dr Md Masudur Rahman was present on the occasion.
Addressing at the function, Anwar-ul Alam Chowdhury said that BCI has been the sole chamber in the country body representing the entire industrial sector.
"It has been working towards removing all sorts of bottlenecks against industrialization. BCI has already launched an initiative to create new entrepreneurship, develop micro, small and medium industries and improve the light engineering and agro-based industries.
He said the lack of skilled manpower and efficient managers have become the major obstacles in the development of the industrial sectors.
