Tech Influencers in Lebanon

Hello.

Any idea of Lebanese tech pages on social media or websites/blogs ?

Thanks.

What exactly do you call a "tech page"?

This might give you insight into the "startup scene" in Lebanon:

What I mean is: persons or groups discussing trends and technologies, reviewing them, sharing information on the products available in Lebanon etc.

I will check the recommendations, thank you.

Some location for startups and innovation in Lebanon:

Altcity hamra:
https://www.facebook.com/altcity/

Innovation factory by IZEM:
http://innovationfactory.io/

And organisations:

UK Lebanon tech hub:
https://www.uklebhub.com/

This is all about tech startups but these startups are supposed to be about innovation, so it might be relevant.

Then add Beirut Digital District to the mix. Yes some talks are targeted towards entrepreneurship and business to encourage more people to do their own start-ups and enroll with accelerators such as AltCity / SoUK.Lb, Flat6Labs, Speed, The UK Tech Hub, etc... But sometimes the talks are targeted towards Bitcoin, blockchain, AI, open source (Keeward does regular meetups, they're pretty good), game development, robotics in general, digital fabrication (Berytech Fab Lab), etc...

Unfortunately, Innovation Factory Beirut is now art oriented than tech oriented, though they have an amazing makers' lab.
