The health sector is vibrant in Lebanon thanks to the high ratio of qualified physicians coupled with a capacity to transfer and adopt new technologies and processes. The presence of state-of-the art medical hospital and platforms has anchored Lebanon's reputation in the field. The nation is becoming increasingly a destination for healthcare and wellness tourism. The opportunity to use the medical background and experience of local physicians in business, technical, environmental and industrial applications will allow Lebanon to develop value-added niches outside curative platforms. Start-ups and growing enterprises in the fields of medical software development, clinical research as well as consulting have been increasingly clustering in Berytech. This cluster is a precursory complement to a state-of-the-art research facility, "La Technopole Santé", which USJ is building in proximity to Berytech on Damascus Road and which will feed the health cluster with commercial spin-offs ensuring synergy and long term sustainability. |
