With more than $3 billion allocated for North Governorate projects in Lebanon’s Capital Investment Plan, the region is emerging as an attractive business hub. At the center of it all, Tripoli is dubbed the dynamo of economic development in the region, buoyed by a series of large-scale projects.

Moreover, Tripoli is expected to become a launchpad for Syria’s reconstruction, given the city’s strategic location near the Syrian border and at the forefront of the Mediterranean, not to mention its current and upcoming infrastructure facilities that make Tripoli one of the main supply routes to Syria.

Among the key projects to upgrade and revamp Tripoli’s logistics, transport, and business infrastructure is the $600 million Tripoli Special Economic Zone (TSEZ), the $150 million Port of Tripoli rehabilitation project, as well as the proposed Tripoli-Syrian Border Railway worth $90 million.

Being a focal point of substantial development projects, Tripoli offers multi-million-dollar investment and trade opportunities.

Capitalizing on the city’s sizable business potential, IFP Group (International Fairs and Promotions) is launching the Tripoli International Conference and Exhibition (TICE), from 27 November till 1 December 2019 at the Rashid Karami International Exhibition Center, in Tripoli.

Held under the patronage of H.E. Mr. Saad Hariri, TICE sheds light on the growing importance of the northern capital as a substantial business hub and a strategic gateway to Syria’s market. It will bring together investors, startups, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, as well as local and international business leaders from various sectors, to explore the latest projects, trade, and investment opportunities in Tripoli, and gain valuable insight into the role of Tripoli in Syria’s post-war reconstruction.

TICE covers key sectors that harbor numerous business opportunities, including Construction, Energy, Agriculture & Food, Assembly, Education, and Furniture.

The event also features a specialized conference that provides relevant stakeholders from the public and private sectors, along with NGOs, with a dedicated platform to discuss Tripoli’s economic opportunities and challenges, as well as the city’s ongoing and upcoming projects in relation to post-crisis Syria.

With in-depth analysis of Tripoli’s strategic role as an accelerator of the local economy and a platform for re-development in Syria, the conference pinpoints major investment opportunities and identifies areas for future collaborations.

The Tripoli International Conference and Exhibition is supported by the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture of Tripoli and North Lebanon, as well as the Tripoli Special Economic Zone (TSEZ).
