SouthBIC:
In a steadfast commitment to foster entrepreneurial growth and support emerging businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture in Saida and South Lebanon proudly announces the revival of the South Business Innovation Center (SouthBIC).
SouthBIC offers comprehensive incubation services tailored to meet the needs of both startups and established Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Our newly established Business Exhibitions Center (BEC) provides state-of-the-art exhibition facilities, further enriching the support ecosystem.
We provide physical incubation services, wherein companies benefit from intensive support and access to a diverse range of facilities within SouthBIC premises. Additionally, our remote incubation services extend our support to companies unable to physically reside at SouthBIC. Through remote incubation, companies receive ongoing guidance and support, leveraging SouthBIC's extensive service portfolio and facilities as needed.
By leveraging both approaches, SouthBIC empowers enterprises with a suite of services aimed at enhancing competitiveness and fostering sustainable growth.
Conveniently located within the Chamber of Commerce Building in Saida, SouthBIC also extends its reach with outreach locations in Nabatiyeh and Tyre. Our main facility in Saida features an industrial incubation facility tailored for companies in industrial sectors, alongside a dynamic concept desk space catering to entrepreneurship and startups, as well as established businesses. Additionally, we offer conference and exhibition facilities to facilitate networking and collaboration.
