Abstract

The transformation of Bangladesh from a Digital Bangladesh to a Digital Bangladesh is an ambitious initiative aimed at leveraging digital technologies to drive economic growth, enhance public service delivery, and improve the quality of life for all citizens. This paper explores the strategic roadmap for achieving this vision, focusing on key priorities such as expanding digital infrastructure, promoting digital literacy and skills, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, enhancing cybersecurity, and strengthening governance and regulatory frameworks. The transformation journey involves significant challenges and opportunities, requiring robust stakeholder engagement, comprehensive policies, and effective monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things, and big data analytics present substantial prospects for innovation and efficiency across various sectors. Promoting digital inclusion, bridging the digital divide, and ensuring accessibility and inclusivity are crucial for ensuring that the benefits of digital transformation are widespread. Moreover, enhancing cybersecurity and data privacy is vital for protecting digital systems and maintaining public trust. The paper also highlights the importance of fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, enhancing public service delivery, and strengthening governance frameworks to support the Digital Bangladesh vision. By addressing these strategic priorities and leveraging the collective efforts of government, private sector, academia, and civil society, Bangladesh aims to create a dynamic and resilient digital economy that drives sustainable growth and development. The successful implementation of the Digital Bangladesh vision will position the nation to thrive in the global digital landscape, ensuring a digitally empowered society that benefits all citizens.
