MillionX Genesis AI Conference

A cross-sector gathering to explore Bangladesh's AI opportunity and chart a shared path forward

Saturday, January 17, 2026

UAP Auditorium, Dhaka, Bangladesh (Tentative)

Overview

MillionX Bangladesh is a national movement founded by Bangladeshi technologists, educators, industry leaders, and global diaspora experts committed to building a generation of 10x minds for a 10x Bangladesh. Our mission is to unlock the country's next wave of economic and social transformation by developing world-class AI talent, strengthening local innovation capacity, and building bridges between Bangladesh and the global technology community.

We are intentionally designed as an ecosystem-driven, nonpartisan, and pro-bono initiative. MillionX brings together youth, universities, industry, government, civil society, and diaspora networks with a shared belief: Bangladesh must not be a passive consumer of the AI era - it must be a contributor.

Following the MillionX Build-A-Thon - where hundreds of young innovators have spent two months developing real-world AI solutions - the Genesis AI Conference connects their energy with national vision, leadership, and long-term collaboration. The Conference is the starting point of a multi-year journey to cultivate talent, inspire partnerships, and shape Bangladesh's AI future.

Rather than attempting to finalise a Bangladesh AI Action Charter in a single day, the Conference presents a Charter Framework (v0.1), gathers structured input, and culminates in the launch of the MillionX Declaration. The refined Charter will be developed collaboratively in the weeks that follow.
