Lebanese Republic

SME Forum

 

Under the patronage of H.E. the President of the Republic of Lebanon General Michel Aoun, the Ministry of Economy and Trade has launched the Lebanese SME Forum 2017.

This event will constitute the first of a series of yearly thematic events focusing on the SME sector, and involving relevant players on the national and regional levels. The overall goal is to enhance synergies between constituents of the SME environment in Lebanon in order to forge a better business environment. 

"Your Needs, Our Challenges" is this year’s one-day interactive forum that includes live interventions and thought exchanges between key representatives from the public, private, and non-governmental sectors as well as entrepreneurs and SME managers. The objectives of this event were to identify a number of actionable and practical recommendations that the Ministry and other stakeholders will follow up on through new initiatives.
