As Lebanon's technology ecosystem continues to evolve, LEBTECH is bringing together innovators, startups, investors, businesses and tech leaders to explore where the country fits into a rapidly changing digital landscape.
In this episode, we sit down with Maya Zgheib, Co-Founder of LEBTECH and General Manager of Strawberry Agency, ahead of LEBTECH 2026, taking place from August 28–30 at Le Royal Hotel in Dbayeh.
We discuss the evolution of Lebanon's tech ecosystem, the sectors showing the most potential, and the challenges still holding innovation back. Maya also shares her perspective on the rise of AI in Lebanon, its impact on jobs, education and skills, and whether technology can help the country build more resilient systems despite its infrastructure challenges.
We also look at LEBTECH's growing regional and international connections, including the Startup World Cup's first edition in Lebanon, and ask a bigger question: can events like LEBTECH create an impact that lasts beyond the conference itself?
