Biniyog Briddhi’s 2023 Year in Review

In 2023, B-Briddhi saw a thrilling year fueled by many encounters and activities that kept strengthening the Bangladesh Impact Ecosystem. Another year where we remained true to our promise of supporting the ecosystem by providing knowledge products, training, and fostering exchange between service providers, entrepreneurs and investors. It was a special year as it concluded phase I and entailed planning for the next 4 years of the programme. The conversations we held at every step in our journey brought us a new perspective on what B-Briddhi can achieve in its second phase which started in 2024! Let’s celebrate together! 

As we bid farewell to 2023, we’re thrilled to share some of the highlights from the Biniyog Briddhi program. From empowering impact entrepreneurs to fostering collaborative ecosystems, here’s a recap of our journey together:
