Project to assemble and manufacture tablets locally by the Lebanese University
At the Lebanese University and inside a startup factory, tablets are now being made with a local signature. The project is the first in Lebanon to restore hope to the local industry and announce the birth of a national technological achievement. Between 100 and 120 tablets are assembled daily by students from the Faculty of Engineering at the Lebanese University under the supervision of their professors.

“As we are working on the assembly of tablets according to the orders sold, at the same time we are working on Avway Beast, of course with Dr. Hassan Al-Sharim on Arms Robot. We are planning to make automation for the lab to make the work easier and enable us to produce more quantities.
This initiative combines education and production, ambition and action.
Dr. Bassam Badran, President of the Lebanese University
“The orientation of the university is to move from a teaching and research university to a teaching, research and productive university. Today, ideas are coming one after the other to seriously reach at least self-sufficiency, so that this country can no longer import things that we can assemble here, and later, and most importantly, we can come up with startups that prepare parts of these tablets,” said Dr. Badran.
The agreement between Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Group and the Lebanese University is not only a technical partnership but an exceptional step towards empowering youth and transforming ideas into products.

“Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh was keen to have the factory inside the Lebanese University campus to support our economy and reduce unemployment, and these are the young people from the university who work with these tablets.”

“These tablets are assembled here. Some of the things we do are part of a whole process, where we teach our students the process of production. We teach them about industry and strengthen the local economy. The importance of this product is that if it is made for us, it is fixed for us at the university.”
So, the Lebanese tablets are ready to enter the market at very competitive prices.
