In a private address, the Republican presidential candidate attacks prosecutors involved in his criminal indictments
Significant investment is accelerating Lebanon's $400 million knowledge economy, which could add 25,000 ICT jobs and contribute $7 billion to the country's GDP by 2025, according to a report by the UK Lebanon Tech Hub.
Complementing international aid efforts in start-ups, in 2014, the Banque du Liban instituted Circular 331, which provides a potential $400 million stimulus for start-ups. The programme reduces risk by guaranteeing up to 75 per cent of commercial banks' equity investments in venture capitalists or startups. In addition, the Beirut Digital District is providing advanced infrastructure and a supportive ecosystem for technology businesses.
"Lebanon's strong educational standards and embrace of innovation are driving rapid growth in technology companies and start-ups. The next step for Lebanese tech innovators is to partner with multi-national companies and investors, with Gitex Technology Week providing the keystone for connecting Lebanese companies to emerging markets and investors around the world," said Louis Guelette, member of the advisory board at the Beirut-based Midis Group, an IT services and solutions provider that operates in emerging markets.
