RAJSHAHI, Sept 12, 2026 (BSS)- A team of students from Rajshahi University of 
Engineering and Technology (RUET) is participating in the 'Bangladesh 
Innovation Fair-2026'.
 
The three-day innovation fair, organised by the Ministry of Science and 
Technology, has been inaugurated from Saturday at the Novo theatre in the 
capital.
 
Vice-Chancellor (VC) of RUET Professor Dr. S M Abdur Razzak was present at 
the inauguration of the fair to encourage the students. During this time, he 
visited the students' stalls.
 
With the theme 'Innovate to Market' in focus, the main objective of this fair 
is to bring together the country's universities, research institutions, 
innovators, industries, investors and relevant stakeholders on a single 
platform to link research and innovation with practical application and 
commercialization.
 
Through this, an opportunity will be created to make the creative ideas of 
young innovators market-oriented and to effectively utilize them for the 
economic and technological development of the country.
 
In this year's fair, a total of seven teams of RUET students are 
participating to showcase their innovative ideas and projects at two stalls 
(Stall No. 68 and 69).
 
The teams are being supervised by the Student Welfare Director of RUET Prof 
Dr. Rabiul Islam Sarkar and Assistant Director Abu Ismail Siddiquee.
 
The active participation of RUET students in this national-level event will 
highlight the university's innovation, technology and research-based 
activities on a larger scale.
 
At the same time, it is expected that it will create an opportunity to 
connect the students' innovative thinking, problem-solving skills and 
technology-based initiatives with the industrial and investment sectors.
 
Various technologies and project prototypes and posters invented by RUET 
students will be displayed at the fair. 

Visitors, researchers, industrial entrepreneurs, investors and relevant 
stakeholders will get an opportunity to gain direct insight into the 
innovative projects of RUET students.
 
Concerned officials have expressed hope that the participation of RUET 
students will not only develop their innovative skills but also play an 
important role in further strengthening research, innovation, 
entrepreneurship creation and industry-academia linkage at the university.
 
In the fair, different public and private universities, research 
institutions, banks, corporate institutions and other technology-related 
organisations of the country will participate.
 
In addition to the display of innovative projects, various plenary and 
parallel sessions, roundtable meetings and dialogues will be held at the 
fair.
