Ihtad on National Demo Day 2026

On 7th April 2026, the Ihtad team proudly pitched at National Demo Days 2026, the flagship event of Accelerating Bangladesh — the largest startup acceleration program in the country.

The event brought together the momentum of 7 sectoral cohorts. Only a very select group of shortlisted startups was chosen to pitch on the main stage — and Ihtad was one of them.

The event featured distinguished guests including Mr. Rehan Asif Asad, Adviser to the Honorable Prime Minister on Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology; Mr. Quazi Anowar Hossain, Secretary, Information and Communication Technology Division; Mr. Murtuza Zulkarnain Noman, Project Director, Innovation Design and Entrepreneurship Academy (IDEA); and Mr. Nawshad Mustafa, Director, SME & Special Programmes Department, Bangladesh Bank.

It was a strong platform to connect with fellow founders, investors, banks, and key ecosystem players. We’re grateful to have been part of this national milestone and look forward to the journey ahead.
