The Software and IT-enabled Services (ITES) industry in Bangladesh is emerging as one of the key contributors to the growth of the country’s economy. As the demand for enhanced efficiency in both government and private sectors continues to rise, effective implementation of Software and IT-enabled services becomes increasingly vital. Local IT/ITES companies have demonstrated their capability to meet these demands through innovative software solutions and services.OLSPAB (the organization you are referring to), as a leading national trade association for this sector, has been dedicated to advocating for the interests of the Software and ITES industry since its inception. The impressive growth of OLSPAB can be highlighted by its journey from a small group of founding members to a robust community that now boasts a membership exceeding 2,400+. Today, OLSPAB member companies command a significant share of the revenues generated by the Software and ITES industry. The organization also encompasses a wide range of small and medium enterprises, providing them with essential guidance and continuous support. As per the latest Government Gazette issued on September 2, 2020, membership in OLSPAB has become a prerequisite for any software/ITES company to conduct business in Bangladesh and participate in both government and non-government procurement processes.OLSPAB's mission encompasses several key objectives, including trade facilitation and business promotion within the software and IT-enabled services sector, fostering research and innovation, and facilitating education and employment to further stimulate the growth of the Bangladesh economy.
