Welcome to the official website of the Biotechnology Workshop entitled "Promotion of Biotechnology in Bangladesh: National and International Perspectives". The workshop was successfully held on April 6, 7 and 8 of year 2007.

Management and consolidation of Biotechnology activities in the country have become essential in order to implement a coordinated and coherent plan for the country’s development. In this context, recent publication of the ‘Biotechnology Policy’ of the Government through the Ministry of Science, Information and Communication Technology (MoSICT), is a welcome document. However the most important need of the hour is to mobilize this policy into an effective ‘plan of action’ with tangible benefits in the immediate, short-term and long-term future of Bangladesh. This will not only require an effective prioritization of scientific research, but also identification of successful strategies for generating sustainable funding for work in specific areas of Medicine, Health, Agriculture, Environment and Energy and related industries.
