With valuable support from Berytech and funding by the European Union under the Lebanon Innovate initiative, the program continues to strengthen its role as a launchpad for promising startups.
A defining feature of the competition is its focus on advancing early-stage innovations—helping participants refine prototypes and prepare them for the next stages of development. Through Berytech’s mentorship, resources, and collaborative ecosystem, startups are well-equipped to progress toward market-ready solutions during a comprehensive 35-month incubation period
Pharmaduct is tackling the issue of animal testing by creating lab-grown blood vessels from human cells. This model, still under development, aims to provide a more accurate and ethical alternative to traditional drug testing methods, offering researchers a better understanding of how drugs might affect human tissue.
