Invest Bangladesh has received international recognition for its contributions to investment promotion and facilitation in 2026, winning an award from the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA).

The agency received the Special Recognition – Outstanding LDC IPA award at the World Investment Conference on Tuesday night.

Bangladesh’s ambassador to Geneva accepted the award on behalf of Invest Bangladesh.

The recognition was announced on Wednesday in a message shared by the agency, which credited its staff and stakeholders for their contributions to improving the country’s investment climate.

The message thanked everyone involved for their “support, effort and dedication in driving investment climate reforms and interventions throughout the year.”

The award recognises Invest Bangladesh’s work in investment promotion and facilitation under the least developed country (LDC) category.

WAIPA is an international organisation representing investment promotion agencies worldwide. It works to strengthen cooperation among member agencies, promote investment opportunities and facilitate the exchange of expertise and best practices.

The recognition comes as Bangladesh continues efforts to attract foreign investment, improve its business environment and strengthen investment facilitation services.
