During this panel, moderated by Rita Makhoul, Editorial Publisher at Arabnet, the speakers will discuss new ways to drive the Lebanese entrepreneurship agenda forward to grow the economy and address social challenges.

Following this panel, a Fireside Chat will take place with the graduating startups’ founders, Joseph Sabbagh, Dentiflow, Nicolas Jamal, Dox, Rudy Bekerejian, Ecomz, Maurice Mattar, Feel22, Stephanie d'Arc Taylor, Jaleesa, Joe Zarur, Sympaticus to get to know how they have benefited from the program, the progress they made, and their future plans.
