Welcome to Next50 Bangladesh …
Next50 Bangladesh is an independent, impact-oriented Collaborative Think Tank for a Just, Globally Connected Bangladesh
We connect research and action to shape a just, climate-resilient, and future-ready Bangladesh, drawing on expertise from both home and the global diaspora to respond to the country’s most critical challenges. We bridge research, policy, and practice across key sectors, turning ideas into action through collaborative publications, policy briefs, strategic projects, partnerships, and capacity-building. As a platform for change, we bring together local innovators, global experts, and emerging leaders to influence policy, transform practice, and channel knowledge, networks, and resources into real, long-term impact.
