Bangladesh's Industrial Evolution: From Garments to Solar Assembly
What happened
Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed discussed the solar industry in Bangladesh, noting that it is currently at an early assembly stage. He compared this to the early history of Bangladesh's garment industry, which initially relied on imported materials and training provided by Daewoo. The solar sector is currently assembling panels, such as a 64.6 MW order placed by CleanGrid for Radiant Alliance.
