We have visited the upcoming new factory of Al Rifai in Halat, Jbeil. The new project is estimated to have an investment value of $25 million according to Al Rifai sources, and is expected to create 375 job opportunities.

The aim of this new initiative is to expand Al Rifai's production capacity in order to cater to local, regional, and international markets, in addition to the increase in product line and quality improvement.

Al Rifai's new project could benefit from IDAL's Package Deal Contract incentive scheme which includes a 100% exemption from corporate income tax for up to 10 years. Do you have a similar project in mind? Contact us.

We are participating as a gold sponsor at the 1st economic forum in Iklim El Kharoub on 19 September. We will have a special session on the development of investment opportunities in the area.

IDAL, represented by its Chairman-General Manager Mr. Nabil Itani, is taking part at the 3^rd "EUROMED migration" conference hosted by the French Ministry of Foreign affairs, taking place on Sept 16-17 in Lyon-Paris.

The meeting is meant to discuss experiences on ways to engage high profile migrants for a greater impact on development and interaction with their countries of origin.

The meeting aims as well to seek ways to strengthen the relations between governments and highly successful members of the diaspora to build sustainable partnership for development.

Lebanon is home to one of the most significant Media industries in the Middle East. The local media sector is highly developed and consists of varied industries including television broadcasting facilities, advertising services, TV and audiovisual production, as well as new emerging sectors like Digital media, and traditional media industries like publishing and music production.

It is in this capacity that we were present at the Murex D'or this year at the Casino du Liban. We were able to put Lebanon in Focus by capturing success stories of business people, directors, producers, and politicians.
