Berytech is a leading organization in the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Lebanon, that aims to provide a conducive environment for the creation and development of startups, through incubation, business support, counseling, funding, networking, and the company hosting, hence taking part in the economic revival of the country, participating in wealth and job creation, and retaining graduates and high-level skills in Lebanon.
In order to effectively support sustainable economic development in Lebanon, advancing economic clusters activities through a coherent policy is key. The absence of official public clustering efforts in Lebanon, and the challenging economic and political landscape, highlights the necessity of a policy supporting legal framework, organizational structures, technical support, and financial sustainability for clusters. These pillars are crucial for fostering a supportive environment that encourages private sector initiatives, promotes collaboration, and attracts investment.. Accordingly, it’s important to raise awareness on the importance of clusters, the suggested amendments to the regulatory framework and its necessity among key stakeholders.
The Euromed Clusters Forward project, funded by the European Union, and led by ANIMA Investment Network aims to strengthen clusters and their members across 7 South Mediterranean countries, including Lebanon. It focuses on promoting inclusive innovation and competitiveness to foster growth, economic diversification, sustainable development, and employment in the region. The project’s activities include strategic studies, national policy dialogues, technical assistance on cluster policies, and capacity-building academies.
The national policy roadmap for clusters developed by Beyond Group outlines the strategic framework for promoting economic clusters in Lebanon. The policy roadmap emphasizes the importance of developing clusters in key sectors, while enabling key stakeholders with the necessary skillsets, sector-specific know-how, and technical support.
To enable successful clusters set up and long term business sustainability, it is crucial to create a toolkit that contain guidelines on cluster organizational setup, management, and financial sustainability. The toolkit will serve as comprehensive resource for current or future cluster managers and support organizations, providing practical guidance on best practices, organizational structures, and financial models.
The selected consultant will be responsible for developing the toolkit and facilitating knowledge transfer through documentation and training sessions (if needed). The consultant’s main role is to ensure that cluster managers and support organizations have access to valuable standalone resources that will enhance their ability to manage clusters effectively and ensure financial sustainability.
