Against all odds, Lebanon is developing a highly innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem. With a growing number of incubators, accelerators and venture capital firms paired with the support from the Central Bank of Lebanon, the capital is quickly progressing into a powerful startup hub in the Arab world.

These initiatives alongside the emerging entrepreneurial spirit in Beirut are leading the way for a booming era for digital disruption. BDL Accelerate is at the heart of this emerging tech boom, bringing together international and regional entrepreneurs, startups, investors, and advisors under one roof for a three-day unparalleled experiential journey.
