GEW/Lebanon has succesfully brough on board a reknown media publication called The Executive Magazine as Associate Partner. The Executive Magazine and has been supporting GEW/Lebanon through articles, interviews, entrepreneur profiles, and ads. Moreover, this year's GEW also attracted the attention of 5 other local media outlets including: Arab Ads Magazine, Entrepreneur Levant Magazine, Beirut.com, Naharnet, and iloubnan, who have all been supporting the week through ads and featured articles.
