In order to tackle the challenges facing the traditional textile, leather and footwear sectors in the Mediterranean region, CRE@CTIVE created a network of 6 L@Bs across Egypt, Palestine, Tunisia, Italy, and Spain, each specializing in a specific field to foster growth and innovation.

The NEX-LABS summer school that took place in the Lebanese Bekaa region, at Massabki Hotel, Chtaura from the 27th of June to the 1st of July provided new business perspectives to NEXUS innovators, created potential collaborations across borders in the Mediterranean, and helped the entrepreneurs develop their entrepreneurial mindset and relevant skills to successfully launch and grow their business. 

The program was attended by 14 teams, out of which six were from Lebanon, three from Egypt, two from Jordan, one from Tunisia, one from Cyprus, and one team from Spain.
