Lebanon’s innovation ecosystem is rich with potential, and Lebanon Connect is the bridge that links this potential with the vast opportunities offered by European partnerships. This unique online event is designed to foster collaboration between Lebanese researchers, innovators, and industry leaders with key stakeholders from across the European Union. More than just a networking event, it is a gateway for Lebanese talents to integrate into global value chains and for European stakeholders to tap into Lebanon’s wealth of expertise.
At its heart, Lebanon Connect builds meaningful partnerships by connecting academia, research institutions, and R&D-driven businesses with European organisations seeking fresh perspectives and innovative solutions. Through interactive discussions, engaging sessions, and targeted matchmaking, the event provides a platform for impactful collaborations that can drive both research and commercial success.
This year, Sploro is proud to take part in the event. Our CEO, Miguel García, will deliver a dedicated workshop on how Lebanese businesses can access EU funding and innovation programmes. This session will offer practical insights into navigating EU frameworks, applying for funding opportunities, and leveraging European support mechanisms to grow internationally. For Lebanese start-ups, research teams, and companies looking to scale, this workshop is an invaluable opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge from an expert in EU innovation ecosystems.
The event will focus on key sectors, including Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Healthcare, and Agrifood, ensuring that participants from diverse industries can find the right partners and funding channels. With over 14 speakers, Lebanon Connect promises to be a hub for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and business growth.
Organised as part of the Lebanon Innovate initiative, an EU-funded programme, it is dedicated to strengthening Lebanon’s innovation ecosystem by fostering stronger ties with Europe. The event will welcome not only Lebanese innovators but also a diverse international audience from dozens of countries, reflecting a truly global approach to innovation.
For those looking to forge strategic partnerships, commercialise research, and gain international recognition, Lebanon Connect is the event to join. Registration is still open, and we encourage all Lebanese entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry leaders to take advantage of this unique opportunity to expand their networks and access new markets.
Join Sploro and other key stakeholders at Lebanon Connect—let’s shape the future of EU-Lebanon innovation together.
