Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research

BCSIR is a large, government-funded national research organization with a multidisciplinary, application-oriented character and 12 institutes plus regional laboratories. Its distributed facilities across Bangladesh give corporate R&D teams access to specialized infrastructure beyond a single campus, including pilot-plant and process-development capacity and analytical testing services. Fellowships and research supervision support workforce development and external collaboration. Research is primarily funded by the Government of Bangladesh through the Ministry of Science and Technology, with additional competitive and international support. A dedicated technology-transfer institute supports trials, training, advisory services, and licensing to companies.
