President Joseph Aoun calls for bold digital transformation at tech forum
Speaking at the 'Smart Government: Diaspora Experts for Lebanon' conference, Aoun said, 'I came here today to call for digitization in Lebanon to become a forward-looking vision for the good of all. We've made our decision — it's no longer acceptable to remain outside the digital age or stuck on the margins of progress.'
He stressed that the goal of a smart government is to serve every citizen, adding, 'We want Lebanon to open up to regional and international partnerships and become a qualified destination for foreign investment.'
Highlighting a key challenge, Aoun noted, 'In Lebanon, we have many statistics but little digitization. Let's correct that imbalance so our country can reclaim its standing as a key player and together build a digital republic.'
