Why in Lebanon

Lebanon is entering a new era—one where artificial intelligence can help solve long-standing challenges and unlock its untapped potential.

From improving public services to transforming key sectors like healthcare, education, tourism, and agriculture, AI offers Lebanon a pathway to smarter governance and sustainable development.

At the forefront of this movement is Future 10X, an AI agency specializing in artificial intelligence strategies and solutions.

After successfully organizing two high-profile AI conferences in Dubai under the patronage of Sheikh Rashid bin Ahmad Al Maktoum, Future 10X is now launching the AI in Lebanon conference in July 2025.

The conference carries three major objectives:

1. Raising awareness across Lebanon: The conference will take place in five cities— Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon, Zahle, and Aley —to ensure that AI conversations and opportunities are not limited to the capital but are shared across the entire nation.

2. Creating networking bridges: The event aims to connect Lebanese AI experts abroad with local innovators, students, and professionals, fostering long-term collaboration and knowledge exchange.

3. Attracting investment and supporting startups: By showcasing Lebanon’s talent and digital capabilities, the conference will present AI-driven startups and outsourcing opportunities to investors and international companies looking for agile, skilled, and cost-effective partners.

“AI in Lebanon” is not just a conference—it is a national platform to inspire, connect, and invest in a better future powered by technology and driven by Lebanese talent.
