The Green Skills Summit 2025, organized as a part of Shoktikonna Leadership Cohort, brought together more than 200 participants from across Bangladesh’s sustainable energy sectors to celebrate and accelerate women’s leadership in the country’s green transition.
The summit marked a major step forward in connecting education, industry, and policy toward an inclusive green energy transition.
Shoktikonna Leadership Cohort is a platform developed to empower young women aspiring to build careers in Bangladesh’s sustainable energy sector.
Now in its third cohort, more than 100 young women in STEM fields have already graduated from Shoktikonna, many of whom are now working in renewable energy, clean technology, and environmental management roles.
The third cohort is supported by the European Union in Bangladesh, German development cooperation, and The World Bank, and implemented by GIZ Bangladesh and Devtale Partners.
The Green Skills Summit 2025 aimed to be a bridge between aspiration and opportunity. Industry representatives and development partners emphasized the urgent need to align skill-building programs with emerging demands in the renewable and sustainable sectors.
