Nitol Niloy Group and KEZ Chairman Abdul Matlub Ahmed will be the special guest while BEZA Executive Chairman Paban Chowdhury will chair the event.
Nitol Niloy Group and KEZ Chairman Abdul Matlub Ahmed said "We are setting up the EZ on about 100 acres of land in Kishoreganj district as part of the government's pious aim of setting up 100 Economic Zones (EZs) across the country."
Matlub Ahmed hoped that the EZ will be ready for investment within the next five months saying a good amount of investment will go to automobiles and agro-based industries in the EZ.
About 15-20 thousand people of the haor areas in the district will get employment opportunities through the KEZ, said a BEZA official.
Under the Bangladesh Economic Zones Act 2010, Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) has been established to set up 100 EZs by 2030 to attract more investment as well as to crate employments for more than one crore people and increase export earnings.
