Institutional Mandate

Institutional Aims & Strategic Purpose

The primary aim of the Bangladesh Institute for Geopolitical Studies (BIGS) is to provide high-level, independent research and policy analysis on key geopolitical, economic, and security developments affecting Bangladesh.

As global security architectures transition toward a multipolar Eurasia-centric order, BIGS aims to ensure Bangladesh remains proactive rather than reactive in safeguarding its economic, monetary, food, energy, and territorial security.

“Our objective is to serve as Bangladesh’s premier think tank connecting national development strategies with global supply chain dynamics, 4IR innovation, and multilateral economic diplomacy.”
