Energy Hub Platform

Lebanon’s Central Gateway for Energy Knowledge and Collaboration
The Energy Hub Platform, developed by NV Innovation Lebanon under the CEDRO 5 Program, funded by the European Union and implemented by UNDP Lebanon, is Lebanon’s first digital ecosystem dedicated to energy data, innovation, and collaboration.
It serves as a national one-stop platform connecting policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors through curated data dashboards, publications, news, and stakeholder directories.
The platform enhances coordination and transparency across Lebanon’s energy sector by providing:

  • A comprehensive directory of national energy actors and initiatives
  • Access to reports, tools, and datasets for researchers and startups
  • A forum that fosters policy and innovation dialogue
  • An interactive dashboard that visualizes Lebanon’s energy landscape

By bringing these features together, the Energy Hub enables evidence-based decision-making and supports Lebanon’s transition toward a sustainable and inclusive energy economy.
