The minister of economy and trade, Alan Hakim, revealed yesterday the presence ‎of over 10 thousand women-run companies, mainly in the beauty, medical and ‎cosmetics sectors. Hakim was speaking at ‘the woman entrepreneur, a creative ‎woman’ conference organized jointly by Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie ‎‎(AUF) in the ‎Middle East, Berytech, L’Orient Le Jour daily and Le Commerce du ‎Levant magazine. The event was held at the Campus of Innovation and Sports at ‎Saint Joseph University, Beirut, on the occasion of a visit to Lebanon by La ‎Franchophonie secretary general Michele Jean.
