Ze’nee noted that the aim of the follow up committee was to support emerging businesses and that it will seek to promote awareness among the youth on the nature and role of a startup business in boosting national economy. Speaking to Al Mustaqbal newspaper, he said Lebanon boasts creative and innovative talents that make the country a serious competitor in the industry of knowledge and technology, adding that startups can become the launching pad for such an undertaking, and a way for the future.
