The center will be the first hub for business outside Greater Beirut area. The purpose of the project is to attract young people from the districts of Kesrwan, Jbeil and the governorate of the North, and provide them with the support and assistance they need to start their own enterprises in the fields of technology, agriculture, tourism and others. The project also boasts an academic element where USJ will be present in Jbeil for the first time through the Berytech center, according to Issa.(AL Akhbar, November 13, 2018)
