Innovation Assistance Network

IAN lead mission is to support the innovative ideas and make advantage of the present skills to empower the community with new innovators, new innovations, and new promising horizons for skilled innovators through funding the innovative products/ideas.
The mission of IAN is also to increase the knowledge of community members through focusing on several aspects of the community daily life requirements despite of the gender, religion, race or any kind of discrimination.
Educational awareness and career consultation to students is absent from our local educational system, hence, IAN is working on improving awareness of the students of the available options and improving technical skills through a contract with the AUT university in South.
IAN also focuses on the gap of health services in the area, and the gap of health awareness issues by providing awareness sessions to community members facing special needs, special cases and contracting with laboratories and hospitals to create a committee of health providers supporting people in need through reducing the medical bills to a bearable cost.
Another side of IAN for development focus is the Social development and the social services in the area, where there are noticeable gaps on the knowledge of available services, the rights and the duties of each community member. IAN aims to empower the social sector in the area by raising awareness sessions by specialized community members and providing leaflets and advertisements to the local services available, work on improving the present services, and create a referral system between different sectors within the community members, and through starting a research center to empower the community with actual figures, which makes it more powerful to plan and point at the gaps.
IAN association works under the Lebanese law regulations with its vision “hand in hand for a better life. “
