ESCWA organized the Lebanese Digital Economy Forum on 27 June, to revive the country’s digital economy and create a bridge between individuals and the private and public sectors.
The Forum, held in Beirut, brought together entrepreneurs, government representatives, owners of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), startup founders, corporate leaders, NGO representatives, and other key players in the digital economy. Discussions revolved around future steps to rebuild trust and resilience.
Participants also discussed the importance of a digital economy able to spur national recovery following the devastating effects of COVID-19, and the disastrous economic downturn in Lebanon affecting organizations and individuals alike.
