As in the previous year, "Made in Bangladesh" trade show will be held in the USA this year as well.
Bangladeshi advertising firm Mattra and USA-based First Multipurpose Services (FMS), in association with the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), will jointly organise the exclusive exhibition of the Bangladeshi products.
The 5-day fair will begin October 2, 2009 at Penn Plaza Pavilion Exhibition Hall at Manhattan in New York.
Addressing a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity on Sunday, Mattra and FMS officials said that last year, 34 local firms participated in the 3-day single country fair held at the same venue.
"This year, we are expecting more participation from the local firms as last year's participants got a good business," said Mattra chief Afzal Hossain.
FMS's founder president Hossain Jabbar said they would arrange the buyers-sellers connectivity to further promote the Bangladeshi exports to the USA.
He, however, said the potential business firms would have to secure the US visa at their own responsibility. "Business firms will apply for visa with their own merits and organisers will have no role in this regard," he added.
Mattra chief executive officer Anisur Rahman Mahmud said the registration process for participation in the proposed fair would begin immediately and continue until July next.
The exhibition would take place on a big premises - of 40,000 square feet, he informed.
FMS director of events Raghib Ahsan and managing partner of Mattra Sanaul Arefeen were present at the press conference.
