Syrian Business Forum

About us

About the Forum

Expertise that develops projects. Partnerships that extend impact.

Our journey began with understanding needs and has grown over the years into experience that brings projects, partnerships and opportunities together around one goal: creating lasting impact.

We work with donors, government and nonprofit institutions, the private sector and the business community to turn priorities into actionable initiatives, connecting expertise with resources, partners with opportunities, and projects with results.

Through its five complementary initiatives, the Forum seeks measurable, lasting results and builds partnerships that go beyond completing projects to expand their impact and open new possibilities for individuals, institutions and communities.
