Entrepreneur of the Month: Walid Fayyad (June 2025 edition)

Minister of Energy and Water, Lebanon — A Strategic Architect of Lebanon’s Green Energy Transformation

In the midst of one of Lebanon’s most complex economic and energy crises, Walid Fayyad has risen as more than just a political figure. He is a visionary entrepreneur in public service, driving real innovation in a region where transformation is urgent, yet difficult.

With a background spanning the private sector, international institutions, and academia, Fayyad brings a rare combination of technical expertise, diplomatic skill, and entrepreneurial mindset to public governance. His work is focused on one clear mission: to lead Lebanon toward energy independence and sustainability.


A Bold Energy Agenda

Under Fayyad’s leadership, Lebanon has:

  • Advanced solar energy projects across municipalities, hospitals, and industrial zones
  • Accelerated renewable energy frameworks to attract foreign investment and Gulf collaboration
  • Spearheaded initiatives to modernize Lebanon’s outdated electricity infrastructure with smart grid technology
  • Advocated for public-private partnerships to reduce the dependency on state-run systems

These aren’t just policy ideas — they are actions already in motion.


Regional Influence, Global Vision

Fayyad has positioned Lebanon at the center of Middle East climate dialogue, participating in:

  • The World Government Summit (UAE)
  • UN Climate Conferences (COP26, COP27, COP28)
  • Strategic energy forums with players from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and the EU

He is recognized as a thought leader in energy diplomacy, aiming to foster regional cooperation through shared sustainability goals — a vision much needed in today’s divided geopolitical climate.
