Grants from Tripoli Chamber to 4 youth initiatives

The president of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture for Tripoli and the North, Tawfic Dabbussi, distributed grants to four pioneer youth groups for their winning projects in line with the ‘Young Entrepreneurs of Tripoli-Lebanon Program’ applications, while noting that each grant amounted to USD 15 thousand. The ceremony was held last Thursday at the Chamber’s ‘Al Bayat’ business incubator and comes within the framework of partnership between the said incubator and UNDP in Lebanon. The program is aimed at training young entrepreneurs to improve the methodologies of their work plans and feasibility studies on various innovative undertakings. It also seeks to stimulate their self-motivated initiatives by enhancing their capacity to develop creative ideas into viable projects. Dabbussi praised the “dynamic and incessant role played by Al Bayat business incubator through its adoption of the developmental training program to empower young innovators and provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge that help start up or expand their projects.” (Al Diyar, An Nahar, April 29, 2016)
