Commenting on the significance of the location of ArabNet Beirut, founder and CEO Omar Christidis said, "Lebanon is a key regional hub for digital business and entrepreneurship; this is evident by the interest that major global companies have taken in investing and acquiring Lebanese web sites and apps.The recent acquisition of Shahiya.comby the Japanese company Cookpad for $13.5 million is just a small example."
