BANGLADESH–AUSTRALIA TRADE AND INVESTMENT COUNCIL (BATIC)

GOVERNMENT & INSTITUTIONAL ENGAGEMENT
Sustainable international trade and investment requires strong cooperation between public institutions and the private sector. BATIC supports constructive engagement between businesses and government agencies by facilitating dialogue, knowledge exchange and collaborative initiatives that strengthen bilateral economic cooperation. The Council does not replace government trade agencies. Instead, it complements them by assisting businesses and institutions in understanding regulatory expectations, commercial practices and partnership frameworks before formal transactions take place.
Areas of Collaboration
Bilateral Trade Dialogue
BATIC may support government-led initiatives aimed at strengthening trade relations between Australia and Bangladesh by facilitating stakeholder discussions, industry roundtables and knowledge exchange forums. These platforms help identify sector opportunities, address operational challenges and promote responsible economic cooperation.
​
Delegation Facilitation
The Council assists in organising trade delegations and business missions between the two countries.
These engagements enable companies, policymakers and industry representatives to explore partnership opportunities and better understand each country’s commercial landscape.
​
SME Internationalisation Programs
BATIC supports programs that help small and medium enterprises understand export procedures, compliance requirements and international business standards.
These initiatives contribute to stronger participation of SMEs in global trade networks.
