WE
are extremely pleased to announce the Bangladesh
Business Awards 2003. With a motto of "Bringing
Global Corporate Standards to Bangladesh"
this award has successfully completed its
fourth year of journey. Introduced by DHL
Worldwide Express and The Daily Star in
2000, the award comprises of four categories-
Business Person of the Year, Outstanding
Woman in Business, Enterprise of the Year
and Best Jt. Venture Enterprise of the Year.
We believe in having a modern, competitive
and efficient private sector to ensure sustainable
growth of our economy. To achieve this growth,
the country needs to have entrepreneurs
with vision, courage and leadership skill
to break new grounds. But to have such entrepreneurs,
we need to create the appropriate environment
in which such talents can flourish. That
precisely is the aim of our Business Awards.
The
story of Bangladesh's private sector growth
is a relatively recent one. We have leaders
in our private sectors whose exceptional
qualities of entrepreneurship and vision
need to be highlighted and acknowledged
through due honour. Recognition to these
exceptional personalities and enterprises
would establish the fact that despite all
the problems that we encounter, our business
leaders can still achieve laurels if they
have the courage, the determination and
of course, the vision to do so.
We
take this opportunity to express our grateful
thanks to our distinguished panel of jurors
whose names are enclosed in this publication.
DHL
Worldwide Express and The Daily Star are
extremely privileged to be able to honour
these exceptional leaders and enterprises
of our business community.
Thank
you.
Sincerely,
