    Once, the people of Bangladesh used to ponder regarding the modernization of Bangladesh. Many intellectuals would criticize if Bangladesh would ever be a modern country or not, will it ever be technologically flourished or not. However, now Bangladesh is developed enough by technology as well as the other development projects. For example, The dream of the Padma bridge project has already been successfully done. Additionally, the long-awaited metro rail has just come into reality. The Bangladeshi people are so delighted by getting the first metro rail in their capital city of this country. Moreover, the first ever underwater tunnel project named Karnaphuli tunnel will be finished in Bangladesh very soon. This tunnel will improve the network and transportation system between Dhaka and Cox's bazar. In this way, Bangladesh will be included on the list of the world's most technologically progressive nations.

    An overview of e-commerce businesses in developing countries: a comparative study between Uganda and Bangladesh
    (BRAC University Research For Development Club (BURED), 2024-07-03) Sylivia Samalie, Mwebaza
    E-commerce platforms are growing rapidly as a result of the spread of information technology all over the world, resulting in a significant impact on the business sector. This article compares Uganda and Bangladesh to provide an analysis of the state of e-commerce platforms in developing nations. It mainly describes various e-commerce platforms in both countries and how they have responded to the pre and post-Covid situations. E-commerce has greatly contributed in the development of both countries given its fewer requirements like buildings, storage space, insurance and many others. Using the literature review approach, this study concludes that there is a high demand for high-quality imported products mainly from the US and the UK as well as China, and the major consumers are middle-income earners as well as youths aged 18-30 years. However, the lack of thorough study that addresses topics outside situational imperatives limits our knowledge of what motivates e-Commerce among several other enterprises in emerging economies. This study, therefore, suggests that further research should be done to cover more aspects in line with e-commerce platforms mainly for developing countries.
