Berytech, THE NEXT SOCIETY partner in Lebanon is about to start a new technical assistance mission.
Like the 7 previous missions already conducted within the project, this new one is implemented at the national level as a direct follow-up of the public-private dialogue conducted during the advocacy panel meetings initiated by the project to contribute to the implementation of policy measures or instruments in the field of innovation and competitiveness.
This mission takes place in the context of the financial and economic crises in Lebanon to which is added the COVID19 impact on the health sector and economy : high rates of skilled labor and startups migration, business shutdowns and a current challenging context for businesses to thrive.

To overcome these challenges and prepare for an economic rescue strategy, THE NEXT SOCIETY intends to develop an Internationalization program for Lebanese startups to build international strategies and access international markets with a special focus on EU markets. This program will be used as a national mechanism for Lebanon to be adopted by various ecosystem partners to support their startup networks in this challenging economic situation.
Coordinated by Berytech, THE NEXT SOCIETY launches a consultation to recruit the expertise necessary for this mission.
The technical and financial specifications of this consulting mission are detailed on our website in the terms of reference of the call.
