In their common effort to support the Lebanese creative economy and contribute to its growth, The British Council and Starch Foundation partner up to create a one-day seminar entitled:

“London meets Beirut: Innovation in the design Industry”

The aim of this initiative is to merge the expertise of some of the most renowned UK creative experts and Lebanese designers to:

• Give insight into innovation in the UK design industry, a pioneer in creativity, design technology and a platform for emerging talent.
• Give insight into the current Lebanese design industry
• Come up with strategies through an interactive panel to contribute to a faster growth of the Lebanese creative economy.

London speaks were Stefan Siegel from NNOT JUST A LABEL, Philip Delamore from London College of Fashion, and Ursula Geisselmann from Wallpaper* Magazine.

Lebanese designers’ panel who each acquired their education

and professional experiences abroad yet have chosen to setup their businesses in Lebanon. They have a lot to share with the audience and fill in the gaps on the current Lebanese design status and the Lebanese creative economy.

Thank you Tala Hajar!
