Under the patronage of Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, more than 1,000 local and international brands fill 10,000 sqm at Seaside Arena, open until October 31.
BEIRUT – The second edition of the “Lebanese Industry Expo” officially opened today at Seaside Arena, Beirut, under the patronage of the President of the Council of Ministers His Excellency Mr. Nawaf Salam. Organized by Hospitality Services and Promofair as an initiative of the Association of Lebanese Industrialists, and with the support of the Ministry of Industry, the exhibition opened its doors on the first of four days devoted to locally produced goods and the makers behind them.
Building on the success of its first edition, which welcomed more than 200 exhibitors and over 10,000 visitors, the exhibition now spreads across 10,000 sqm and brings together more than 1,000 local and international brands, with over 10,000 buyers and trade visitors expected through Saturday, October 31. The show floor reflects the full breadth of the sector, from heavy industry, food and beverage, and packaging to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, furniture and decoration, mechanical industry and technology, textiles and fashion, jewelry, and education and services.
His Excellency Mr. Nawaf Salam said: “Supporting industry is not a sectoral demand. It is a national interest tied to growth, job opportunities, financial stability and economic sovereignty.”
Minister of Industry Joe Issa El Khoury said: “Economic security is the cornerstone of national security.”
“Opening the second edition confirms that the Lebanese Industry Expo has found its place on the national calendar. Today reflects the confidence of Lebanese industrialists in their products and in the opportunities ahead, and we are proud to provide the platform that brings them together,” said Joumana Dammous Salamé, co-founder and CEO of Hospitality Services.
Salim Zeenni, President of the Association of Lebanese Industrialists, affirmed: “Industry in Lebanon is a national cause, not merely an economic interest or a means of making profits, for if it were, we would have left Lebanon in 1975.”
The Forum: insights from the leaders shaping Lebanese industry
The Forum convenes industry leaders and experts for in-depth discussions on the sector’s most pressing topics, including green industry, sustainability and agrifood, with more than 70 speakers and experts over the four days. Attendees gain valuable perspectives and the chance to engage directly with decision makers.
The day’s Industry Talks included two panels. “The Global Factory: Connecting Lebanese Industries to the World” brought together representatives of FEIM (Italy), the Federation of Egyptian Industries, Dubai Ports and MEDEF (France), while “Lebanon’s Digital Transformation: From Roadmap to Results,” held in partnership with the American Chamber in Lebanon, featured Minister of State for Technology and Artificial Intelligence Kamal Shehadi in conversation.
Hosted Buyers: connecting Lebanese producers with new markets
The Hosted Buyers’ Program brings buyers together with Lebanese entrepreneurs and industrialists for networking and business meetings, with more than 200 B2B meetings planned over the four days. Having welcomed buyers from Arab and other international markets in 2025, it continues to offer a focused platform for building partnerships, exploring trade opportunities and driving commercial growth.
