technologies, address practical challenges in areas including disaster
management, healthcare, road infrastructure, and smart automation.
The
three-day Bangladesh Innovation Fair 2026, organized by the Ministry of Science
and Technology to showcase the country’s scientific, technological, and
innovation capabilities, is bringing together innovative projects and
technology-driven solutions from across the country. Daffodil AI is
participating with the integrated AI, research, and innovation capabilities of
Daffodil Group and Daffodil International University.
The
six Daffodil AI projects selected among the Top 50 Innovations are ‘Dual-Mode
FR Vehicle’, a rapid firefighting and rescue vehicle; ‘HOMEPITAL NEXUS’, a
healthcare technology initiative; ‘PikoBot’, a desktop companion robot; ‘Pav
Analytics’, an AI-powered road damage detection system; ‘IoT Smart Automation’;
and ‘The Arbor voice for mothers’, a technology initiative focused on maternal
healthcare. These projects demonstrate the practical application of AI, IoT,
robotics, and automation in addressing real-world challenges.
The
fair was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of the Government of the People’s
Republic of Bangladesh, Tarique Rahman. Following the inauguration, he visited
the Daffodil stall and was briefed on various innovative technologies and
research-based projects being showcased. Daffodil Group Chairman and Chairman

Alongside
the six recognized projects, Daffodil AI is showcasing practical applications of
AI in education and institutional management through initiatives including AI
Professor, Student360, Alumni360, Perfect HR, LeadershipOS, and RegistrarOS.
These platforms demonstrate how AI can support education management,
decision-making, institutional accountability, workforce development, and human
resource management.
The
pavilion also features robotics, IoT, computer vision, automation, and
integrated software-hardware technologies. Through these demonstrations,
Daffodil AI is highlighting the potential of Connected Education, Workforce
Intelligence, Institutional Accountability, and Physical AI to support safer,
more effective, and future-ready applications of artificial intelligence across
education, institutions, and industry.
Daffodil
AI said that, in addition to the projects being showcased at the fair, around
40 to 50 further innovation projects involving AI, robotics, automation, and
other technology-based solutions are currently under development at different
stages. These projects are being progressively developed and implemented with
the aim of expanding the use of technology in education, industry, healthcare,
infrastructure, and institutional management.
Speaking
on the achievement, Daffodil Group Chairman and Chairman of the Board of Trustees
of Daffodil International University Dr. Md. Sabur Khan said, “Young people
must come forward to address the real challenges of our country through
technology and innovation. Daffodil AI’s participation in the Bangladesh
Innovation Fair and the recognition of our innovative projects are important
achievements for our research and innovation initiatives.”
Daffodil
AI is working in coordination with various organizations of Daffodil Group and
Daffodil International University to advance research and innovation. By
combining technology infrastructure, software development, research, student
innovation, and skilled human resource development, the initiative aims to
transform innovation into practical technology solutions.
The
participation of Daffodil AI in the Bangladesh Innovation Fair 2026, along with
the recognition of six projects among the Top 50 Innovations, highlights its
growing focus on research-driven and practical technology development. The fair
is also creating opportunities for students, researchers, entrepreneurs,
industry representatives, and visitors to explore emerging technologies and
learn about their potential applications in solving real-world challenges.
