ACSI Online Demo Day
Demo Day is done (Oct 8, 2020), but you can see the teams below!
The Asfari Challenge for Social Innovation (ACSI) 2020 was a 4-month accelerator program that happened during a historically tumultuous time in Lebanon and the world. The program focus is on innovative initiatives in the domains of education, civic engagement, and lifelong learning.
We’re very excited to showcase these brilliant graduating startups (brief highlights below) during our Online Demo Day experience! The Demo Day will include a mix of live pitches and video updates. All attendees will be invited to give feedback to teams through quick written forms, plus to join teams in small-group breakouts after the pitches are done.
You might just find a partner, service provider, investee, or collaborator amongst these great teams.
Meet the startups!
