This year, the local competition featured a total of 160 participants from different leading universities in the country.
The finalist teams received a business case on a startup based on digital marketing and a few short hours later presented their solutions and recommendations to a panel of judges.
The winning teams from Bangladesh will participate in the regional finale to be hosted in Hong Kong, where participants from countries will participate, according to the press release.
Md Tofazzel Hossain Miah, senior secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, was present as the chief guest and Faruque Hassan, president of Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), was present as a special guest.
Md Mahbub ur Rahman, chief executive officer of HSBC Bangladesh, and Prof Mohammad A Momen, director of the IBA, also spoke at the programme.
Addressing the event, Md Tofazzel Hossain Miah said, Bangladesh's industries have been making considerable strides in adapting to modern innovation and technology.
Md Mahbub ur Rahman said with Bangladesh's younger population at an all-time high, it is now more crucial than ever to provide platforms that will help transform these young minds into future leaders.
As the world recovers from the after-effects of one of the worst pandemics in history, the dynamic world of business is in need of leaders who are innovative, agile and adaptive, said Prof Mohammad A Momen.
"This collaboration between HSBC and IBA has been providing many students with a scope to learn and test these skills and showcase their talent over the years," Momen said.
