Aram Lab is set to host a critical discussion on the state of entrepreneurship in Syria, moving beyond surface-level metrics to address deep-seated structural challenges. Scheduled for Saturday, January 10, 2026, this open webinar will dissect their latest analytical report, “Syrian Startup Ecosystem – 2025 Review.” Geared towards researchers, policymakers, and ecosystem builders, this session promises a realistic look at why rising entrepreneurial energy is facing a “structural ceiling” that prevents sustainable economic impact.

About The Event
While many reports gauge the health of a startup ecosystem by the number of initiatives or events, Aram Lab’s 2025 review takes a more rigorous approach. This webinar will present the findings of their latest analytical report, which argues that the “recovery” narrative is insufficient to understand the current Syrian context.
The event aims to bridge the gap between observed activity and actual economic output. The discussion will explore a year that revealed significant entrepreneurial potential but simultaneously highlighted rigid structural boundaries—regulatory, financial, and institutional—that the ecosystem has yet to overcome. The central thesis of the session is that the primary challenge is no longer a lack of ideas or human capital, but rather the “architecture” of the system itself.
What to Expect
Attendees can expect a data-driven, candid conversation that challenges existing narratives. Key topics of the webinar include:
- The Energy vs. Structure Paradox: Understanding why genuine entrepreneurial energy is failing to find the structural conditions necessary for sustainability.
- Barriers to Expansion: An explanation of why increased visibility and activity in 2025 did not translate into sustainable scaling for startups.
- System Architecture Analysis: A look at how the lack of proper ecosystem “containment” and support limits the impact of human capital.
- Interconnected Gaps: How structural gaps are linked, reducing the effectiveness of partial progress or isolated success stories.
Featured Speakers
The session will be led by the researchers behind the 2025 Review, offering direct access to the minds analyzing the data:
- Alya Bostani: Researcher
- Ammar Bakkour: Researcher
- Abdulwadoud Alikhwan: Researcher

Key Themes for 2026
A major component of this webinar will be a forward-looking analysis of 2026. The team will discuss the risks of maintaining the status quo, specifically the danger of cementing entrepreneurial momentum at a purely “symbolic” level without it transforming into long-term economic impact. This section is vital for stakeholders looking to understand the trajectory of the Syrian market in the coming year.
