The Lebanese Industry Exhibition 2025 concluded its four-day run in Beirut, marking a significant step toward revitalizing Lebanon’s manufacturing sector and strengthening confidence in locally made products.
Held at the Seaside Arena, the exhibition was organized by the Association of Lebanese Industrialists (ALI) in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry.
It was inaugurated by President Joseph Aoun on October 29 under the slogan “Want to bring Lebanon back? Manufacture here. Consume Lebanese, export Lebanese.”
The event brought together more than 190 exhibitors from sectors including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, technology, textiles, and machinery. Over 10,000 visitors attended, among them business leaders, industrialists, students, and media representatives.
Throughout the exhibition, the “Industry Talks - The Forum” sessions hosted discussions between government officials, private sector representatives, and innovation experts on topics such as competitiveness, digital transformation, and sustainability in manufacturing.
A “Hosted Buyers Program” also welcomed around 20 international buyers, facilitating export partnerships and investment opportunities for Lebanese producers.
During the closing ceremony, Minister of Industry Joe Issa El Khoury announced that the first Thursday of every November will be designated as “National Industry Day” in Lebanon, reinforcing the sector’s importance to the national economy.
President Aoun described the exhibition as “more than an economic event - a message of hope and renewal for Lebanon’s productive capacity.”
He emphasized that strengthening local manufacturing is key to rebuilding economic stability and restoring public trust in Lebanese production.
As the exhibition closed, participants called for continued government support, streamlined export procedures, and investment in innovation to ensure Lebanon’s industries can compete regionally and globally.
The event ended on an optimistic note that the country’s industrial sector could become a driving force for long-term economic recovery.
