Celebrating the Next Generation of Tech Leaders: LebNet Tech Fellows Graduation 2025

On June 11, the LebNet Tech Fellows Program celebrated its third graduating cohort in a heartfelt ceremony at the American University of Beirut. Sixty-four fellows from 13 universities were honored for completing the five-month journey that helped them grow, connect, and clarify their purpose in tech.

The most powerful moments came from the students themselves. In their own words, they described the program as “transformative,” “empowering,” and “clarifying.” Their reflections spoke of:

  • Clarity and confidence in career paths

  • Resilience through uncertainty and instability

  • A deep sense of community and belonging

  • A renewed commitment to serve Lebanon

  • And a shared desire to pursue tech with purpose and to pay it forward

Their words reminded us what’s possible when talent is nurtured with guidance and opportunity.

We are deeply grateful to the program leadership team, mentors, speakers, partner universities, and supporters who made this program possible, and to the fellows, whose voices continue to inspire us all. Read the full recap of the graduation ceremony here.
