Where did the project idea come from?
The motivation is driven by the growing demand for optimized content developed and designed to meet the requirements of the end-users and consumers in the global market. To overcome deficiencies in Bangladesh, bit media e-solutions in cooperation with a local subcontractor will adopt and transfer Austrian technologies and know-how to Bangladesh. EduTech system solution is based on LMS, e-Learning Content Library, e-Content Authoring, e-Testing, and communication technology solution.
Why did you select that specific target country?
In the Bangladeshi market, there are currently not many suppliers who offer a full range of digital education solutions; therefore, the idea is to introduce innovative ICT solutions.
The government implements Vision 2030: Digital Bangladesh, which is extremely beneficial for the introduction and implementation of the EduTech system solutions.

What impact do you believe INNOWWIDE will have on your company?
The ideal outcome of this VAP would be to reach an agreement with the Bangladeshi government, and respective ministries on acceptance and implementation of EduTech systems on the national level.
