The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially approved the “Smart Agri-Food Innovation Hub”-project in Lebanon. “Innovative ideas seem to need a boost”, says Jan Meiling, “many young enterprises in Lebanon present a high potential for job creation. We will connect them for applications and networks in Food & Agro, creating business opportunities in both Europe and the Middle East region.

”The coming two years StartLife, FoodValleyNL and Berytech  will jointly develop an active agro food cluster and a startup acceleration program. The project demonstrates a high commitment of both Dutch and Lebanese partners. Jan Meiling: “The project will be launched at the Dutch embassy in Beirut in January 2017”.
