These innovations by YPSA, supported by the Aspire to Innovate (a2i) Programme of the Government of Bangladesh, were presented at an event titled “Youth, Startup, and Bangladesh of Potential,” held on July 14, 2026, at the Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban of Dhaka University.
The Prime Minister was briefed about the two innovations by Bhaskar Bhattacharjee, Accessibility Consultant at a2i, and Fauzia Chowdhury Diba, Program Manager at YPSA.
