The Business Initiative Leading Development (BUILD) was established in October 2011 motivated by a need for a common sustainable platform to coordinate, advocate and foster business reforms in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Investment Climate Fund (BICF) brought together the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI), the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) and the SME Foundation (SMEF), which have a diverse range of memberships representing the full spectrum the businesses, from large to small, from manufacturing to services, from proprietorships to corporates. Later in November 2013, the Chittagong Chamber of Commerce & Industry (CCCI) joined the initiative and the BUILD emerged as a permanent legal entity.
