The theme of the conference “Chemistry Innovations for Smart Future” is both timely and relevant to Bangladesh and global community. As we move towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), innovations like Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our lives has added another feather to the crown of this revolution. This innovation has already brought a radical change in our thoughts and lifestyles.
It is the high time; we invested our resources in innovative scientific research. The goal is to ensure a quality living for the citizens of Bangladesh and make the country a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Chemists, Chemical technologists and allied professionals play a vital role in realizing this vision by driving breakthroughs in communities dealing with chemistry bear their major responsibilities towards achieving this objective through the discovery of new technology for food security, pollution control and medical advancements. Their discoveries can pave the way for novel technologies, attracting investment and creating economic opportunities that will lead to a more inclusive and prosperous society.
I am welcoming the scientists, academicians and research fellows from around the world to attend the conference, share their views, and engage in meaningful discussions on the latest advancements in chemistry. This congregation would add to our contemporary knowledge in chemistry and related areas and would go a long way in promoting the quest for research and development in chemistry towards a smart future.
I wish all participants a successful and enriching conference.
