What will it take for more women-led businesses in Bangladesh to grow, attract investment and reach international markets?

We explored this question at the Danish Residence, bringing together an inspiring group of women entrepreneurs, investors and ecosystem leaders for a candid conversation with Line Bejtrup Boss of the Bestseller Foundation.

Opening the evening, Anders B. Karlsen, Chargé d’Affaires a.i., noted that while talent is equally distributed, opportunity is not, and called for stronger access to capital, networks and markets to help women-led businesses grow.
Bangladesh is at an important point in its economic development. With a growing consumer market and strong entrepreneurial momentum, the potential is significant. Yet women entrepreneurs continue to face challenges in accessing growth capital, international markets and global value chains.
The Bestseller Foundation’s focus on impact investment, market access and job creation therefore connects well with the opportunities and needs we see in Bangladesh.

The evening was first and foremost about listening to what is working? Where are the barriers? And where can international partners and Bangladesh’s entrepreneurial ecosystem come together to create real opportunities?

Bringing together foundations, entrepreneurs and international partners can help turn these conversations into concrete partnerships, investment and sustainable growth - particularly as Bangladesh prepares for its next chapter beyond LDC status.

339 factories. Better energy use. Lower costs. A greener garment sector. 🇩🇰🇧🇩🌱

What does Bangladesh’s garment industry stand to gain from becoming more energy efficient? Quite a lot.

The Embassy of Denmark, together with the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD), has supported energy assessments across 339 garment factories in Bangladesh – the first initiative of this scale in the country.

The assessments identify practical opportunities for factories to use less energy, reduce operating costs and improve their environmental performance - strengthening both sustainability and competitiveness.

Supported through the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ SDG Opportunity Window, the initiative was carried out in close collaboration with BGMEA and BKMEA, ensuring strong industry engagement.

The impact goes beyond the individual factories. 📊 The project has developed an open-source digital platform bringing together energy data from across the sector. This can help factories benchmark and manage their energy performance while preparing for growing ESG and sustainability requirements in international markets.

For one of Bangladesh’s most important industries, greater energy efficiency is not only about going green – it also makes good business sense.

This is what Denmark’s Partnership for Sustainable Prosperity is about: bringing together data, industry and practical solutions to support Bangladesh’s green transition and long-term competitiveness. 🇩🇰🤝🇧🇩
