In Bangladesh, coming up with new ideas and improving products is a big challenge, especially in the clothing and technology businesses. Bangladesh is really good at making textiles (like clothes and fabrics) and sends a lot of them to other countries. But, most of the time, the country sticks to the old ways of making things and doesn’t spend much money on trying new methods. The amount of money spent on research and developing new things (R&D) is really low, less than 0.1% of the country’s total money made in a year (GDP). Because there aren’t many new ideas or products, it’s hard for Bangladesh to compete with other countries that are always coming up with new and better things. This makes it tough for Bangladesh to meet what people around the world want and to make more valuable products. To change this, it’s really important for Bangladesh to invest more in R&D. This means spending more money and effort on creating new ideas and improving products. Doing this can help the country grow economically and be more competitive in the global market. It’s about not just making more things, but making better and more innovative things that people all over the world want to buy.
