Lebanon’s Entrepreneurial Spirit Shines: Highlights from the ‘Made in Lebanon’ Expo

Fair Trade Lebanon participated alongside the Ministry of commerce to the ‘Made in Lebanon’
Exhibition, held at the Forum de Beyrouth, from May 9th to May 13th. The event served as a vibrant
celebration of Lebanon’s industrial sector, featuring innovative projects within Fair Trade Lebanon’s
stand, showcasing several brands and cooperatives under NOOMOOLEB and Tarik Akhdar Projects.

Attracting a steady stream of visitors, the Noomoo Leb project, which encompasses approximately 25
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and cooperatives, provided a bustling hub of activity.
Participants not only showcased and sold their diverse array of products but also actively engaged in
fruitful business-to-business networking, fostering valuable connections and garnering essential
feedback. This platform significantly amplified the visibility and market reach of local talent, fostering
opportunities for impactful collaborations and partnerships.

Meanwhile, the ‘Tarik Akhdar’ initiative, dedicated to Lebanon’s green economic transition, saw the
participation of four Lebanese cooperatives at the event. Additionally, products from cooperatives
affiliated with Tarik Akhdar were scheduled for daily showcasing with the intention of facilitating sales
during their respective cooperative’s presence.

Let’s continue to support and celebrate the innovation and resilience of Lebanon’s entrepreneurial
community.
