At the Bangladesh Institute for Geopolitical Studies (BIGS), our mission is to provide rigorous, independent, and forward-looking research on the evolving global and regional geopolitical landscape — with a dedicated focus on how these transformations affect Bangladesh’s national interests, economy, and security.
We strive to be a leading hub of interdisciplinary expertise, bridging policymakers, academics, private sector leaders, civil society, and the media, to generate actionable insights that inform strategic decision-making. Our work is driven by a commitment to:
Analyze emerging global political and economic orders to understand their implications for Bangladesh’s development, security, and diplomatic engagements.
Explore innovative and pragmatic policy solutions that enhance Bangladesh’s resilience amid shifting geopolitical realities and economic uncertainties.
Promote regional cooperation and connectivity by examining Bangladesh’s strategic positioning between South Asia and Southeast Asia and its access to vital maritime corridors like the Bay of Bengal.
Support Bangladesh’s integration into evolving global supply chains, trade regimes, and industrial ecosystems to foster sustainable economic growth and competitiveness.
Advance knowledge and strategies on climate security, digital transformation, biosecurity, and the fourth industrial revolution to ensure Bangladesh’s preparedness for future challenges.
Facilitate inclusive dialogue and collaboration among diverse stakeholders through conferences, forums, and publications, building a network of thought leadership with global outreach.
Ultimately, BIGS is dedicated to transforming complex geopolitical data into clear, actionable insights that empower Bangladesh to navigate and thrive in the dynamic 21st-century global order — safeguarding national sovereignty, promoting economic prosperity, and projecting Bangladesh’s soft power regionally and globally.
