Our guide in this journey of dreams

Mission

NRB World aims to serve as a pivotal bridge, fostering collaboration and synergy between the Bangladeshi diaspora and Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRBs), with a steadfast commitment to leveraging their collective talents, skills, and investments for the advancement and development of Bangladesh.

Vision

Our vision is to cultivate a strong network that unites Bangladeshi individuals globally, facilitating the exchange of knowledge, resources, and opportunities. Through strategic partnerships and proactive engagement, we aspire to transform the concept of “brain drain” into a powerful force of “brain gain,” driving sustainable progress and prosperity for both NRBs and their homeland.

Goal

NRB World is dedicated to achieving three fundamental goals:
1. Empowerment through Education and Training: Provide comprehensive training programs and mentorship opportunities to empower Bangladeshi youth with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their respective fields, thereby enriching the human capital of the nation.
2. Facilitating Employment and Entrepreneurship: Forge pathways for Bangladeshi professionals to access meaningful employment opportunities both domestically and internationally, while also nurturing an environment conducive to entrepreneurship and innovation.
3. Strategic Collaboration with Government and Industry: Foster strong partnerships with governmental agencies, esteemed companies, and policy makers to facilitate the integration of NRB expertise into key national initiatives and projects, driving sustainable economic growth and development in Bangladesh. By steadfastly pursuing these goals, NRB World endeavors to not only strengthen the bonds within the Bangladeshi community worldwide but also to contribute significantly to the progress and prosperity of Bangladesh, thereby fulfilling our collective duty to our motherland.
