“Shou ma kint fik tsir”, an expo for entrepreneurs in Saida

The Saida Challenge Team launched last Friday at La Sale hall in the southern capital a special exhibition, ‘Saida for Young Entrepreneurs’, which included advisory and guidance sessions with successful experts in the domain. Some 21 projects by young students were presented with the theme ‘shou ma kint fik tsir’ (whoever you are, you can become what you like to be). The purpose of the activity is to support innovative initiatives through providing technical expertise that contribute to the development and advancement of society by setting up useful ventures to be later adopted and implemented by the local community.

Representing the Minister of Economy, the UNDP officer, Rafif Birro, pointed out that the ministry is supportive of initiatives that aim to develop the above promising sector and help Lebanon become a hub for creative entrepreneurs. Birro expressed hope the conference could be an opening for a long-term scheme aimed at promoting the concept of entrepreneurship in Saida and encouraging the young generation to enter this field.
