The EcoSwitch Coalition’s first Green Entrepreneurship Lab will focus on creating benefits and foster linkages for green entrepreneurs and sector actors active in relevant fields for the sustainable development of the Lebanese economy.

During the Lab, both sector actors and public sector representatives, as well as entrepreneurs themselves, will be given space to outline their work and exchange on potential opportunities.
