Under the High Patronage of His Excellency President of the Republic of Lebanon General Joseph AOUN

Lebanon stands at a critical crossroads in its modern history. After years of compounding crises — economic and financial collapse, institutional disintegration, deteriorating public services, the devastating Beirut Port explosion, and most recently, the most recent war — a window of hope is reopening with the election of a new President, the formation of a government, and the launch of a long-overdue reform agenda.

However, the path to national recovery cannot succeed without a genuine partnership between the nation and its vast diaspora. The Lebanese expatriate community — spread across more than 120 countries — represents an extraordinary reservoir of financial strength, knowledge, expertise, and international influence. Yet, this potential remains largely untapped.

Amid ongoing efforts to drive national revival and advance bold reforms, the 4th Emigrants Economic Conference will convene on August 8, 2025, at the Phoenicia Intercontinental Hotel in Beirut. This high-level gathering, organized by Al-Iktissad Wal-Aamal Group in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, and in cooperation with The Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Lebanon, the World Lebanese Cultural Union and the Emigrants Worldwide Organizations, will focus on the vital role of the Lebanese diaspora as strategic partners in Lebanon’s recovery and future growth. The forum comes at a pivotal moment, offering a platform to harness the energy, expertise, and potential of Lebanese expatriates worldwide.

Objectives

  • Promote an open dialogue between the diaspora, Lebanese institutions, the private sector, and civil society.
  • Reposition the diaspora from financial supporters to strategic partners in Lebanon’s rebirth.
  • Present initiatives led by expatriates in the fields of economy, investment, governance, technology, education, healthcare, and public-private partnerships.
  • Establish sustainable mechanisms for consistent engagement between the state and the diaspora.
  • Promote an institutional framework to formalize and strengthen the diaspora’s developmental role in Lebanon.
  • Trust between the state and the diaspora must be rebuilt through transparent and institutionalized mechanisms.

Audience

  • Senior Lebanese government officials (Presidency of the Republic, Parliament, Council of Ministers, ministries…).
  • Lebanese expatriates in politics, business, tech, academia, medicine, finance, law, and the creative sectors.
  • Business leaders.
  • Civil society organizations.
  • International institutions (World Bank, IMF, Arab Funds, development agencies).

With a steadfast belief in the power of community-driven change, Green Hand has spent over two decades championing environmental conservation, safeguarding Lebanon’s rich cultural traditions, and empowering local populations through innovative economic models. From restoring natural ecosystems to reviving traditional crafts and supporting farmers, artisans, and small producers, our work places people and nature at the heart of development.

In our continuous effort to create a real, inclusive, and sustainable transformation, Green Hand launched its flagship initiative — the Authentic Aley Strategic Framework — a model program designed to serve as a national prototype for a developed Lebanon.

This elite strategic framework operates through three interconnected pillars:

Environment: Preserving ecosystems, promoting green infrastructure, and ensuring responsible natural resource use.

Culture & Heritage: Protecting Lebanon’s cultural identity by revitalizing traditional knowledge, crafts, and intercommunal ties.

Economy: Fostering a circular and local economy by supporting value chains, dignified income generation, and community-based enterprises.

The Aley District was selected as a pilot region not only for its natural and cultural richness but also for its social diversity and potential to model unity, resilience, and innovation in development. Through partnerships with municipalities, international organizations, and civil society, the Authentic Aley Framework has become a leading example of how local action can inspire national change.

Our vision is bold yet grounded: to build a Lebanon where communities thrive in harmony with their environment, their history, and each other.

A Lebanon where the future is rooted in the authenticity of its land and people.
