As part of the Lebanese Industry Expo 2025, Lebanon Works, in collaboration with the Association of Lebanese Industrialists (ALI) and Entreprenergy, hosted “Meet the Young Industrialists”, an inspiring session that brought together over 60 entrepreneurs, business owners, industrialists, and service providers for an afternoon of learning and connection.
The session opened with a welcoming note from Andre Abi Awad, Founder of Entreprenergy and Lead of the Lebanon Works initiative, who highlighted its mission to foster collaboration and growth within Lebanon’s private sector. Rima Freiji, President of the Lebanese Private Sector Network (LPSN), shared the vision behind Lebanon Works and emphasized the private sector’s role in driving economic recovery. Paul Abi Nasr, representing ALI, underscored the association’s commitment to empowering Lebanon’s industrial ecosystem and supporting emerging leaders.
The spotlight then turned to four young industrialists who took the stage to share their journeys and present their brands:
- The Whisk Taker – Producing clean, high-quality, natural food products that bring health and flavor to everyday meals.
- Annine Fayde – Repurposing glass bottles into handcrafted glassware, offering a sustainable local alternative to imports.
- Duvin – Offering single-serve, grab-and-go Lebanese wines from the Bekaa Valley, combining innovation with local craftsmanship.
- Tchips – The first and only manufacturer of tornado chips in Lebanon, expanding distribution across the MENA region.
The event concluded with a vibrant networking session filled with energy, exchange, and collaboration. Entrepreneurs and industrialists from different generations connected, shared experiences, and built meaningful partnerships, reflecting the resilient and creative spirit of Lebanon’s private sector.
“Meet the Young Industrialists” highlighted the innovation driving Lebanon’s industrial future and reaffirmed Lebanon Works’ mission to connect, promote, and empower the country’s business community.
