The fair was open for all university students, regardless of their departments. This event gave students the opportunity to become E-commerce entrepreneurs for two days and consider their future alternatives and possibilities.
Twelve groups participated and were supplied with booths to showcase their wares. They adorned their booths exquisitely and displayed their merchandise in a very expert and eye-catching way. In addition, they created Facebook pages for their company, created several interactive digital items for their business, such as digital posters, promotional films, etc., and have been promoting their brand online since 20 July 2022. The E-commerce booths were put up on level 2 between annexes 2 and 3 in an open area.
Food and beverages, apparel, home décor, stationery, hair and beauty accessories, etc., were among the many items available for purchase. The visitors really enjoyed a number of the offerings and appreciated the stall-operators' efforts. Students and faculty members from several disciplines attended the fair and admired its vitality. As part of their campus tour of Biztech 3.0, hundreds of HSC students and faculty members from various colleges visited these stalls and gained valuable insights into the commitment of AIUB's Faculty of Business Administration for empowering students and bridging the gap between theory and practise in business education. The "Sweetcraft" and "Adjective-Bangladesh" teams were awarded the best stall prize for their unique advertising approach and overall station management competence.
