Frequently asked questions
The LAU Industrial Hub (LAUIH) is a unit of the Lebanese American University's Business Development and Global Affairs. It connects companies with LAU faculty, alumni and students through Industry Pods, Space Rental and Workforce programs. Partners work with us under US-standard contracts at a Lebanon cost base, with facilities in Byblos, Beirut and New York.
There are three ways to engage. Industry Pods are on-demand multidisciplinary teams that build your solution from concept to handover. Space Rental gives you offices, labs and secure facilities at LAU campuses. Workforce covers sponsored internships and custom training programs. Book a call and we will recommend the format that fits your goals and timeline.
Partners retain full intellectual property rights on deliverables. Projects follow NDA-first controls with segregated delivery environments, and engagements run under US-standard contracts. The LAU Industrial Hub references an engagement publicly only with the partner's approval, so you stay in control of what is shared about your work.
Send an inquiry through the contact page or book a scoping call with the team. Describe your project, timeline or hiring needs, and we will respond with the next steps, usually within five business days. You can also write to ih@lau.edu.lb. Early conversations help us scope the right engagement.
