From the historic halls of Collège Saint Joseph – Antoura to the Lebanese Parliament and the forefront of industrial innovation, Neemat Frem has built a career defined by leadership, service, and impact.

Early Roots at Antoura

Born in Jounieh in 1967, Neemat Frem began his academic journey at Antoura, where the values of discipline, excellence, and community first took root. After graduating, he pursued Electrical Engineering at the American University of Beirut, later enhancing his leadership skills with executive programs at Harvard, Stanford, and Georgetown.

Business Leadership & Industrial Innovation

Following in the footsteps of his father, the late Georges Frem, Neemat took on key roles at INDEVCO Group, eventually becoming its Chairman and CEO. He also founded Phoenix Machinery, which notably contributed to Lebanon’s COVID-19 response by developing medical ventilators and sustainable technologies. Frem has long championed Lebanese industry, serving as President of the Association of Lebanese Industrialists (2010–2014) and supporting entrepreneurship through initiatives like the Olive Grove tech hub.

Public Service & National Reform

Driven by a vision for a “Better Lebanon,” Frem entered public life in 2018 as a Member of Parliament representing Keserwan-Byblos. Resigning in protest after the Beirut explosion in 2020, he returned in 2022, continuing his mission through Project Watan, a political movement advocating for reform, economic recovery, and national unity.
