A German business stakeholder delegation has concluded a five-day visit to Bangladesh, during which it participated in the Bangladesh Investment Summit 2025 and engaged with a wide range of stakeholders in Dhaka and Chattogram.

The delegation included representatives from the German Federal Government, German business associations, and leading German enterprises, said the German Embassy Dhaka on Thursday.

Over the course of the visit, delegates met with senior government representatives, attended sectoral discussions at the Bangladesh Investment Summit, and visited key industrial sites such as the German-Bangladeshi Joint Venture Hana System Ltd in Gazipur, the WALTON Group, and logistics and ship recycling operations in Chattogram.

Site visits also included German-affiliated factories and infrastructure projects, offering a first-hand look at Bangladesh’s evolving investment landscape.

Almut Roessner, Executive Board Member of OAV-German Asia-Pacific Business Delegation, said, "All participants were deeply impressed by the business opportunities in various manufacturing sectors beyond the textile industry.

“For Bangladeshi firms expanding their production to meet growing local and international demand, German suppliers of specialized machinery and automation technology are highly attractive partners. Our multiple discussions with representatives of the interim government left us with the clear impression of a strong commitment to establishing a lasting reform agenda aimed at attracting more diverse investment to the country."

The delegation was organised in cooperation with OAV – the German Asia-Pacific Business Association, which supports bilateral business cooperation and strengthens Germany’s presence in emerging markets across Asia.

Germany views Bangladesh as a strategic partner in trade, investment, and sustainable development.

With total bilateral trade valued at $9.81 billion in 2024, this visit reaffirms Germany’s confidence in Bangladesh’s economic potential and its commitment to building resilient and future-oriented partnerships.
