“A Spark of AI” New Opportunity for Bangladesh
This week, I had the opportunity to visit technology exhibitions and data centres to better understand the extraordinary transformation taking place around us. What I saw strengthened a belief I have held for some time: Bangladesh’s surplus electricity generation capacity can become the foundation for a new generation of AI and hyperscale data centres.
For decades, it has been my honour and privilege to invest in the infrastructure of Bangladesh. More than US$3.5 billion has been invested by Summit into building and supporting the country’s oil and container terminals, power plants, LNG infrastructure, nationwide fibre networks and telecom towers.
Each investment was made with one conviction: Bangladesh can do more.
Now I see another opportunity before us. We can convert our excess electricity into data, and data into an exportable resource for the AI driven world. With power, fibre connectivity, land, water and our young people, Bangladesh has many of the ingredients to build hyperscale AI data centers and participate in the next great technological transformation.
We once converted our natural resources (gas) into electricity to power our industries and our development. Now we can convert electricity into intelligence, innovation and exports.
Having spent much of my life building Bangladesh’s physical infrastructure, I would feel truly blessed if the next chapter could be helping build its digital and AI infrastructure.

May that spark become another light of opportunity for Bangladesh.
