Following the success of the MIT Covid-19 Challenge series (Beat the Pandemic I & II, Africa, and Latam) as well as the Arab Scitech Ideathon, which together brought over 5000+ participants, 800 teams, and 700 mentors, representing 100+ countries and 49 US states, we’re now organizing a Lebanon-economy focused challenge, tackling solutions for problems faced by many in the country. We’re looking to rally different stakeholders from Lebanon and the diaspora towards the common goal of solving Lebanon’s most pressing economic challenges, especially in a time where we are forced into isolation and remote capacities away from our respective campuses and institutions. We want to channel and unlock all of that untapped potential into positive and meaningful efforts with a focus on creating and implementing short and medium-term solutions that address the most pressing problems that the Lebanese economy faces today. What: Lebanon vs. the crisis | MIT Lebanon Challenge When: June 26-28, 2020 Where: Online #MITLebanonChallenge
