Illinois, and especially Chicago, is a major hub for innovation across diverse industries including healthcare, finance, logistics, manufacturing, AI, and advanced analytics. Home to some of the top academic institutions, research centers, Fortune 500 companies, and a vibrant startup ecosystem, Chicago continues to attract top talent and investment, making it one of the most dynamic tech cities in the Midwest.

In step with this energy, the LebNet Chicago community is building a strong, engaged network of Lebanese professionals across all levels and sectors of the tech ecosystem. We welcome seasoned professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and early-in-career individuals to connect with us and participate in mentorship, networking, and giving-back programs focused on Lebanon and our diaspora.

The Chicago Steering Committee is eager to partner with passionate, like-minded individuals to grow our presence and impact across the region. If you’re based in Illinois and want to get involved, reach out to us at Chicago@LebNet.us.
