LECTURER MD. TOBIBUL ISLAM AND HIS TEAM AWARDED NATIONAL YOUTH SUMMIT STARTUP GRANT 2025
A team from the Dept. of BME has been awarded the iDEA Grant under the National Youth Summit Startup Grant 2025, receiving BDT 10 lakhs for our project “ Voice Assist Device for Vocally Impaired People.” This innovation aims to support autistic children in both education and communication.
Out of 653 submissions, only 60 projects were shortlisted for the final pitching round, and ours was among the few selected for the grant. This marks a historic achievement as the first time a team from both the BME and MIST has received this prestigious national startup grant.
We are sincerely grateful for MIST’s continuous support, which played a crucial role in this success.
