Smart Bangladesh Vision 2041 is about more than a futuristic Bangladesh, more than 5G internet, more than 100% smartphone penetration, more than 100% high-speed internet penetration, more than going cashless.

what was a dream on March 7, 1971—IndependentIndependent Bangladesh—became a reality on December 16, 1971. What was a dream on December 12, 2008—Digital Bangladesh—became a reality on December 16, 2021.
The newly announced dream on December 12, 2022 – Smart Bangladesh – will also be a reality on December 16, 2041. So, officially, we are now in the era of Smart Bangladesh.
But what does this term mean?
A “smart nation” is defined as “harnessing emerging technologies, networks, and data to create tech-enabled solutions that contribute to nation-building.”
Too vague? Too techno-centric? Too detached from citizens’ benefits? Yes!
The big picture answer is that Smart Bangladesh 2041 will be defined by a number of characteristics. These are:

1. High-income: GDP per capita of at least $12,500;
2. Poverty-free: 0% extreme poverty and under 3% poverty
3. Macroeconomically stable: Low inflation (4-5%), low deficits (5% of GDP), increased investment (40% of GDP), and increased tax revenue (20% of GDP)
4. High human development: 100% high-school education including digital literacy, and 100% health financing for everyone while making the best use of our demographic dividend
5. Sustainable urbanization: 80% urban nation with 100% electrification, majority from renewable sources
6. Service at fingertips: 100% public services paperless and cashless, and at the fingertips of 100% citizens in the way they desire

Most importantly, Smart Bangladesh is all about establishing an equitable nation—equal rights, equal opportunities, with no marginalized groups.
In order to explain the four core pillars of Smart Bangladesh – Smart Citizen, Smart Government, Smart Society, Smart Economy.
