It not only sheds light on the latest developments but also gives real hope for rebuilding Lebanon, in a way that is in line with technological progress and the aspirations of new generations.  “Our project in the government, and our economic vision, is primarily based on supporting the partnership with the private sector and activating it as a key partner in rebuilding infrastructure, serving the transition towards a modern knowledge economy, where technology and innovation are at the center of development.”  He concluded by affirming that today we are moving in the right direction and continuing the march to secure the future of our children in this country.”  Following the opening ceremony, the Prime Minister toured the exhibition halls, where he explored the latest equipment, materials, and technologies showcased by the exhibitors. He emphasized the exhibition’s role as a key driver of economic recovery and reconstruction in Lebanon.  Taking place at a critical stage in Lebanon’s recovery journey, the exhibition serves as a platform bringing together over 250 local and international exhibitors from countries including Italy, Austria, France, Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and others — reflecting the spirit of international cooperation in support of Lebanon’s construction, energy, environmental, and reconstruction sectors.  The exhibition which is daily open from 4pm to 10pm to specialized visitors will end on May 9, 2025, with the Interiors Lebanon exhibition dedicated to interior design and decoration, providing a comprehensive environment for professionals in the integrated sectors.  As Lebanon rebuilds, Project Lebanon 2025 serves as a cornerstone for partnerships, knowledge exchange, and long-term growth,” said a spokesperson for IFP Group, the event organizer.
