On Wednesday August 22, twenty five company owners from across different creative sectors
came together to form an agglomeration that will be known as Beirut Creative Cluster (BCC).
The establishment of the BCC is the result of a yearlong effort led by Berytech with the support
of the European Union; both Berytech and the EU were fortified in their common belief that
clusters are the much needed drivers for economic and social development in Lebanon. The
vision of the BCC is to create a world class cluster of content, platform and technology
providers, developing and distributing innovative digital content and technologies to global
markets. This can be achieved through a series of collaborative projects to develop a strong
physical and financial infrastructure along with specific activities to boost trade and stimulate
competitiveness.
The eighteen company owners that attended the meeting went through a round of discussion
where opinions, expectations and the possible implications and rewards of such an
unprecedented endeavor were debated; the participants then signed the membership application
documents and elected the following board members;
President: Hani Asfour, Polypod
Vice-President: Fadi N.Sabbagha, Born Interactive
Treasurer: Nathalie Farhat Vit-e
Secretary: Boudy Nasrallah, Wondereight
Cluster representative towards the government: Mario Hachem, Apps2You
Board member: Rabih Haddad, Blacksmiths Studios
Board member: Zeina Hachem, Cre8mania
The board members will start working immediately to study and select the most appropriate
activities and opportunities already presented to them.
