The companies received their plots for the next 40 years by signing an

investment in the country’s hi-tech parks being constructed under the
Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority.
Bangabandhu Hi-Tech City being established on 355 acres of land at
Kaliakair in Gazipur is a flagship project of the Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park
