SYMZ Capital and the Adnan Kassar School of Business (AKSOB) at Lebanese American University have officially launched a strategic partnership aimed at advancing entrepreneurship, innovation, and venture creation across Lebanon and the region.
The collaboration introduces two major initiatives under a unified framework: the SYMZ Capital Venture Lab Ignition Program – Powered by AKSOB, a six-week pre-incubation program designed to transform innovative ideas into validated, investor-ready ventures; and the SYMZ Capital Venture Forge Challenge – Powered by AKSOB, an innovation and entrepreneurship competition that provides students and aspiring founders with exposure, mentorship, and funding opportunities.
Through this partnership, participants gain access to structured venture-building methodologies, industry mentorship, investor exposure, emerging technology integration, and funding pathways that support the development and scaling of high-potential startups. The initiative also reflects a shared commitment to bridging academia with real-world business ecosystems while empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.
