18-8-2017
In cooperation with UNIDO, the Investment Development Authority of Lebanon (IDAL) inaugurated yesterday a 3-day workshop on the development of men and women entrepreneurs, as well as support of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The opening was held in the presence of IDAL's president, Nabil Itani, and president of the Arab International Center for Entrepreneurship and Investment (AICEI), Hashim Hussein, in addition to representatives of involved ministries, chambers and departments and UNIDO investment experts. The goal of the workshop, Itani stated, is to prepare competencies needed to identify, select, train, provide consultancy and support entrepreneurs to kick off their projects, in addition to inform participants on the process of planning and execution of institutional growth. Itani pressed the need to prop SMEs and to approach them in terms of enhancing the business climate, pointing that Lebanon is a key partner in the economic development process. He called for development of communities and transforming them from consumer to productive societies based on the resources, raw material and skilled labor at hand, as well as the availability of land. For his part, Hussein pointed out that currently the focus is on helping the youth realize their ideas and dreams, commending the distinctive application of the program in Lebanon as the first country to implement it via the chambers of commerce, to be later streamlined in other Arab states.
