Lebanon benefits from a large diaspora which can be leveraged to give
Lebanese companies access to new markets. Endeavor Lebanon and
its ecosystem partners LFE, LIFE, LebNet, MIT Enterprise Forum, Bader,
Berytech, AMIDEAST and AltCity are playing a crucial role in bridging the
gap between these communities and Lebanese entrepreneurs. Roughly 74%
of the companies surveyed by Endeavor Lebanon report that their products
and services are available both in local and foreign markets.
Another factor that plays an essential role in the regional and global
expansion of Lebanese companies is Lebanon's strategic geographical
location, which has always been considered an asset for the country. It is
within easy reach of the rapidly evolving- and not yet saturated- Gulf, Levant
and North African markets.

"It is better to be a big fish in a small pond
than a small fish in a big pond. We can test
and fine-tune new business ideas in a small
country like Lebanon. It's a great platform
for us."
