The economic hardship that Lebanon is currently facing along with the rising unemployment and poverty rate offer along with the currency devaluation made Lebanon a very attractive investment destination for outsourcing. At the same time, outsourcing to Lebanon is a crucial solution to limit the brain drain that our economy is facing. With that in mind, The Embassy of Lebanon in Washington, D.C. is pleased to be promoting Lebanon as an emerging outsourcing hub for US companies. The event will invite a large number of investors in the US along with the Lebanese in the US who can play a pivotal role in helping to retain the talents we have in Lebanon.
