Yesterday we held our first virtual business meetup for the global tribe in metro Beirut, Lebanon, with guests from around the world, opening doors for members to new opportunities regionally and globally. The globinar was in collaboration with Outerpond and spotlighted 6 dynamic Lebanese organizations, giving members of Global Chamber® an opportunity to connect with them and other growth opportunities.
Watch the replay of the program HERE on the Global Chamber® youtube channel.
The globinar reiterated the importance of pushing past the news we see about any region and connecting to the business leaders to find opportunities anywhere and everywhere - 525 metros around the world. In this globinar there were companies with decades of business leadership, delivering products and services across Lebanon and well beyond. These are professional, capable and high quality exporting firms that you may not have known until know, but should know.
