About School of Entrepreneurship Development (SED)

School of Entrepreneurship Development (SED) is a university-focused leadership and entrepreneurship platform dedicated to building sustainability-centered ecosystems.

Inspired by global frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SED prepares students to design solutions addressing climate change, social inequality, and inclusive economic growth.

SED was selected by the Swedish Institute (SI) for the prestigious Impact Pioneer 2024 Program in Stockholm, Sweden, recognizing its measurable contribution to sustainability-driven entrepreneurship and youth-led impact innovation.

We believe universities are the birthplace of the next generation of climate advocates and responsible entrepreneurs.

Founded in 2018, SED emerged from a recognition of the critical challenge facing Bangladesh: widespread unemployment amid a rising tide of graduates. Traditional job markets couldn’t keep up, leaving talented individuals unfulfilled and frustrated. SED stepped in with a bold vision: to cultivate a vibrant ecosystem of entrepreneurship, equipping people with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to become the architects of their own success and catalysts for national economic growth.

First time in the world, this impactful SED Ecosystem has been invented and designed by a Global Networking Architect Mahbub Rahman who graduated with a BBA and MBA in Marketing from Dhaka University.
