Food tasting in “Creative Lebanon” shop, Gemmayzeh

In collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the ministry of industry organized yesterday a food tasting gathering at “Creative Lebanon Center” in Gemmayzeh, Beirut in the presence of the ministry’s director general, Dany Gedeon and UNIDO project coordinator, Nada Barakat. It should be noted that ‘Creative Lebanon’ boutique was inaugurated in July, 2016, to help small and medium-scale producers in showcasing their innovative products and establishing closer links with the local markets. The boutique is a joint venture between the ‘Development of Clusters in Cultural and Creative Industries in the Southern Mediterranean’ project funded by the EU, and the Italian Government within the framework of Supporting Host Communities in Lebanon Affected by the High Influx of Syrian Refugees, known as CELEP-III.
