Abstract: The objective of this study is to assess the current and future potential of the digital economy in Bangladesh, with the goal of fostering national development and prosperity by the year 2041. Concurrently, this study examines the various aspects of the digital economy through the lens of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and emerging technologies, specifically focusing on the utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) in Bangladesh. The methodology section employs a qualitative approach to ascertain the research objectives, utilizing secondary data. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the contemporary status of the digital economy, focusing on emerging trends that have a significant impact on the national gross domestic product (GDP). Companies and individuals possess an understanding of the digital economy, which has the potential to mitigate the digital divide and establish a robust connection between technology and the economy. The research contributes to a more thorough understanding that Bangladesh is ranked 40th out of 193 nations at present; with the advancement of the digital economy, it will move up to 24th place in 2034. Future research can perhaps be expanded by adopting a qualitative methodology to explore the concept of a smart Bangladesh.
