Bangladesh Foreign Trade Institute

Bangladesh Foreign Trade Institute (BFTI) is a not-for-profit research and training institution. Founded in 2003, it traces its inception to the concept of public-private partnership between the public and the private sector. The prime focus of BFTI is on research, education, training and policy advocacy on international trade. The beneficiaries of the institute comprise both public and private sectors, engaged in international trade. The creation of the BFTI is a ground-breaking and pioneering initiative in Bangladesh that provides this organization a unique opportunity to have a clear understanding of the issues of concern for the target groups and to cater to their needs in the ever-expanding spheres of international trade.
