The Asher Foundation for Innovation and Entrepreneurship was founded under the fervent belief that good ideas, when nurtured, can transform business sectors, communities, nations, and our world. Many of these ideas will come from our youth. We want Lebanese youth to receive the education, support and mentoring to become the leading entrepreneurs of their generation.

​

The Foundation's goals are to:

• Ensure that quality educational programs are accessible to Lebanese youth;

• Provide certificate programs and mentoring to student entrepreneurs at no cost;

• Make seed funding available for startups; and

• Offer access to a worldwide network of entrepreneurs and investors. 

​

Our flagship program is the Asher Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, In its sixth year and housed at the University of the Holy Spirit in Kaslik (USEK), the center was formed to encourage the young people of Lebanon to develop their ideas into startup companies with an aim to provide the support and investments to grow businesses in Lebanon so that youth can build prosperous lives in our home country.
