Bangladesh is rapidly transforming from a labor-driven manufacturing nation into a strategic economic power by attracting significant foreign direct investment from South Korea. With $1.56 billion in South Korean investments, it is now the third-largest FDI source. Political reforms, technological interest, and a young workforce have boosted investor confidence. South Korean companies are expanding beyond garments into semiconductors, renewable energy, and startups. Joint initiatives and smart city projects signal a deepening partnership shaping Bangladesh’s digital and economic future.
