This year’s theme for the grand event was ‘Bright Minds Reducing Inequalities’. The Bangladesh selection round for the sixth edition of TYF was organized by Grameenphone.

Over 1400 applications were screened to select 60 applicants who presented their idea on September 4 and September 5, 2018 at GP House to win the seven coveted spots in the TYF Grand Finale.  The TYF Bangladesh finalists were: Tasneem Omar Ava, BRAC University; Sameen Alam, and Syed Sameen Shahrear, IBA Dhaka University; Tarek Musanna and  Md.

On this occasion, Mustafa Jabbar, Minister of Telecom and ICT said, ‘It is good to see that our youths are working with up and coming technologies to solve social problems. They are able to prove themselves at any stage of the world. I would like to thank Grameenphone and Telenor Group to provide them such a global stage.

Michael Foley, CEO of Grameenphone, said, ‘Since the beginning of TYF, it has been one of the most inspiring days of the year for me. Over the years it has become a bona fide platform for the future leaders of the country to work with concepts that can change the world.’
