And just like that, we crossed the finish line! 🚲☀️

After all the hype and countdowns, it was so heartwarming to see so many of you join us for the SPEEDUP Eco-Rally in Tripoli, all coming together for a greener environment.

Beyond the race, participants shared how they were inspired to cycle more, make greener choices, and take small steps to make a difference. Some even got to see Tripoli differently on a bike, noticing things they’d usually miss from a car (even locals!). The day also brought people together through teamwork, new connections, and a shared interest in doing things differently. 💚

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made this day possible, and to Tri-pulley and Eco Consulting for making it happen with us!

Now, the question everyone’s waiting for… 👀🏆 Who won? We’ll be announcing the results soon, so stay tuned!

INJAZ Lebanon is a partner of SPEEDUP, which is co-funded by the European Union 🇪🇺 under the @InterregNEXTMED Programme.

🚀 Great ideas are not enough. Great ecosystems make them happen!

Today, I had the pleasure of serving as a jury member at Venture Build by ACIE (Asher Center), where ambitious startups competed for a six-month incubation opportunity.

💡 Entrepreneurship is not just about having an idea. It's about having the mentorship, connections, support, and environment to turn that idea into a real business.

🇱🇧 Lebanon has no shortage of talent. What we need is more opportunities to help that talent thrive.

A special appreciation to the incredible team behind ACIE Center, whose dedication, vision, and hard work are creating meaningful opportunities for entrepreneurs. Building an ecosystem takes more than a great program. It takes passionate people who genuinely believe in empowering others and turning potential into success.

Initiatives like Venture Build are exactly what our entrepreneurial ecosystem needs.

Because when we invest in entrepreneurs, we invest in our collective future.

The next big success story might be starting right here!

This is @naremanouchian she is the communication and outreach officer at @acie.usek

She took the workshop titled “Network like you mean it” during the ACIE Validation Sprint Program.

Back then, she didn’t know how to start a conversation. Now she does!🙌🏻

It was awesome meeting you and all the team today at @experiaexpo

Still thinking about this one.

A couple of weeks ago, I got to sit in the room for Pitch Day at the Lebanese Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge, and honestly? These young people blew me away.

11 teams. Each one standing up there with an idea they actually care about, something meant to help their community, not just make money. You could feel the nerves, and you could feel how much they'd worked for this moment.

Watching them handle the jury's questions with that much confidence made me really hopeful about what's coming out of Lebanon.

Huge congrats to Plato Forum, who are off to New York in November to represent us at the World Youth Entrepreneurship Showcase 🇺🇸🇱🇧 And to Beyond, Min Jdeed and Billy Bottle, you earned every bit of it.

Thank you Imad and the PEAC team for creating a space like this. We need more of them.

To all 11 teams: you already did the hardest part. Don't stop now ❤️
