BLC for stronger women representation in sciences, technology, and engineering

BLC bank and the Alumni Central organized yesterday joint seminars at the Beirut Four Seasons Hotel, including a workshop for women entrepreneurs in Lebanon. The session tackled challenges women in business usually face, in addition to highlights of the opportunities at hand. Participants were also introduced to applied mechanisms that help empower women and secure their presence in various fields, notably in the domains of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. On the occasion, BLC assistant general director, Tania Msallam, pointed out that Lebanon’s national resources owe much to women’s efficient contribution in society at all levels, but lamented the under-representation of women in most sectors of the economy which, in fact, hinders the country’s prosperity.
