The team, represented by Wa si-uz-Zaman Khan, was selected through a rigorous nationwide competition organised by the Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE) Bangladesh team.
The selection process was overseen by a distinguished jury board headed by Mohammed Alauddin, Hubert H Humphrey Fellow, who played a crucial role in mentoring and guiding the team to reach them at the world stage and succeed.
The teen entrepreneur’s team was managed by Mahira Mamun, SAGE Bangladesh coach, who has had a track record of selecting and managing winning SAGE Bangladesh teams since 2020. It was informed that this year SAGE Bangladesh with the support of the Ella Pad reached over 10,000 teenagers across the country to seek out their innovative business ideas.
