Dream71 Bangladesh Limited has been entrusted with building a digital platform to promote renewable energy in the African nation of Lesotho.

The leading Bangladeshi information technology company will develop a modern, web-based system to streamline e-tendering, data management, real-time monitoring, and geospatial analysis.

The work will be carried out under a "Renewable Lesotho: Access to Affordable and Renewable Energy" initiative — jointly implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the government of Lesotho.

The company signed an agreement with the UNDP after participating in a competitive international tender in January, under which financial and technical proposals went through a rigorous evaluation.

"We are proud to be associated with this project," said Rashad Kabir, managing director of Dream71, in a statement.

"We believe it is possible to advance the remote populations of developing countries through sustainable technology. This platform will be a powerful catalyst for change for the people of Lesotho," he said.

The project will be implemented over a two-year period from April 2025 to April 2027.

Dream71, which exports software to approximately 15 countries, has a track record in developing digital solutions for both local and international clients.

In addition to serving various ministries of Bangladesh, the company has previously developed software for the governments of East Timor and Bhutan.
