From September 29 to October 1, Beirut Digital District will be hosting the first Startup Weekend dedicated to artificial intelligence in Lebanon.

Data scientists, robotics specialists, developers, machine learning experts or amateurs, come test their ideas and pave the way towards building the future of Lebanon’s artificial intelligence sector.

Startup Weekends are 54-hour events designed to provide superior experiential education for technical and non-technical entrepreneurs.  

Beginning with Friday night pitches and continuing through brainstorming, business plan development, and basic prototype creation, Startup Weekends culminate in Sunday night demos and presentations. Participants create working startups during the event and are able to collaborate with like-minded individuals outside of their daily networks. All teams hear talks by industry leaders and receive valuable feedback from local entrepreneurial. The weekend is centered around action, innovation, and education.

Startup Weekends create the perfect environment in which attendees test their idea and take the first steps towards launching their own startup.

Also, preparatory workshops revolving around AI and startups for beginners and experts alike will be held on September 23 and 24.
