Lebanon’s protracted economic crisis continues to strain production systems, talent pipelines, and investment flows. These pressures have weakened the country’s capacity to generate sustainable growth and reduced its competitiveness across key productive sectors.

The Lebanese Center for Policy Studies (LCPS), in collaboration with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF), has been conducting sectoral studies focused on three key areas that greatly contribute to the national economy:
Roots of Change: Policy Direction for a Resilient Agri-Food Industry in Lebanon
Lebanon’s Cultural and Creative Industries: How to Thrive in an Ailing Economy?
Navigating Lebanon’s Economic Crisis: Challenges, Opportunities, and Strategic Solutions for the Pharmaceutical Sector

Building on these sector briefs and expert roundtables, this conference is organized to convene policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and international partners to translate research into actionable reforms in the three critical sectors: agrifood, cultural & creative industries (CCIs), and pharmaceuticals. Each session will (1) distill the latest LCPS findings and field evidence, (2) identify feasible policy levers, and (3) outline approaches to policy implementation and public–private cooperation.
