Taro Kawachi, President, BSEZ
BSEZ has been granted long-term development rights by the Bangladesh government, and expectations are high for the second-phase subdivision on which construction recently began. There are not many projects being pursued over extended periods in today’s rapidly changing business environment, but it is precisely because of projects such as this that we are able to work toward our long-term goals of contributing to the development of Bangladesh through industrial diversification and job creation and of growing alongside the local community.
In February 2024, Kumon Connect, a Kumon tablet-based learning service, was launched at public elementary schools in BSEZ’s neighborhood as a CSR activity providing educational opportunities to children unable to receive satisfactory education for economic reasons. The children’s eyes light up at their first experience with tablets and the Kumon Method, and they are experiencing the joy of learning every day. In future, we hope to provide local residents with opportunities to acquire basic business skills by establishing a vocational training school in the BSEZ, leading to employment opportunities at tenant companies. We will continue growing together with the local community by further expanding the BSEZ.
