PCA - Professional Computer Association of Lebanon
www.pca.org.lb

Established in 1996, the PCA is a platform for ICT companies based in and operating from Lebanon. Since its inception, the PCA has never faced so much challenges and opportunities.
With the tremendous changes that occurred in the past few years and the dramatic transformations in the business models at all levels, the PCA had to adapt by creating new dynamics that tackled successfully the new Lebanese ICT business paradigm.

The Professional Computer Association has two major aims:

• Enhancing the capabilities of Lebanon's ICT companies, in order to compete better in the Regional and Global markets.

• Transforming Lebanon into a knowledge enabled economy, in order to participate pro-actively in the Global economy.

However, PCA has considered "bridging the digital divide" as being one of its major activities, especially during the last two years. In fact, we truly believe that bridging the digital divide is the entry point to bridging all the other divides such as health divide, educational divide, and governmental divide and of course the economical divide.
