DHAKA, Nov 21, 2025 (BSS) – The Bangladesh High Commission in London has announced that the upcoming SME Fair during Heritage Week will serve as a major showcase for talent, highlighting the creativity of Bangladeshi women entrepreneurs and the innovation of British-Bangladeshi women-led businesses.

The disclosure came as High Commissioner Abida Islam held a 'productive and wide-ranging' discussion with the UK Trade Envoy to Bangladesh, Baroness Rosy Winterton, and the UK High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Sarah Cook in London on Thursday.

According to a message received here today, the dialogue covered key issues of mutual interest and reaffirmed both sides’ commitment to strengthening the dynamic Bangladesh–UK partnership.

Preparations are now underway for the SME Fair, scheduled to be held on 13–14 December 2025 at Tower Hamlets as part of Heritage Week.

The High Commission said the fair will offer women-led SMEs a valuable platform to gain international exposure, forge new business connections, and celebrate their contribution to economic growth and shared cultural heritage.

It encouraged members of the community to attend and support the participating entrepreneurs, noting that Heritage Week will also celebrate Bangladesh’s rich cultural traditions and deepen community and business ties.
