As Lebanon prepares for its most anticipated technology event of the year, the AI in Lebanon Conference 2025—one of the region’s most respected AI innovators is set to take the stage: Firas Sleiman, a Lebanese deep-tech pioneer whose work is shaping the future of artificial intelligence across the Arab world.

Sleiman will be among the headline speakers at the conference, which kicks off this July under the theme “One Week of AI Activities.” His participation marks a significant moment, as Lebanese AI experts from across the region and the diaspora converge to build momentum for Lebanon’s digital future.

A leading voice in Arabic-language AI systems, enterprise architecture, and ecosystem development, Sleiman is the Founder and CEO of the Khwarizmi Artificial Intelligence Center (KAIC), TENN.ai, and The Executives Network (TEN)—all based in USA and Qatar.

At KAIC, he established a full-scale innovation center that includes an AI Academy, R&D labs, and a Venture Studio. His platform TENN.ai is breaking new ground with its advanced Super-Agentic Enterprise AI system—featuring FlowTeams™ and autonomous AI employees—all with deep support for Arabic.

Sleiman’s contributions to the AI ecosystem are grounded in nearly 30 years of leadership across the US and MENA region, including high-impact roles at PwC, Boston Consulting Group, and Booz Allen Hamilton.

At the AI in Lebanon Conference, Sleiman will join a diverse cohort of Lebanese experts, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers to discuss the real-world impact of AI and the importance of regional collaboration.

His message is clear: AI is not a luxury—it’s a necessity for national resilience, economic renewal, and regional relevance. And Lebanon has both the talent and the will to lead.

This summer, Firas Sleiman brings not only his insight, but his commitment to a shared vision: a Lebanon that builds, codes, and leads in the age of artificial intelligence.
