MENA Minds Syria helps Lebanese businesses enter the Syrian market — with the people, the paperwork, and the connections to do it right.
MENA Minds Syria is a Syrian consulting firm that helps Lebanese businesses cross into one of the region's biggest new markets — with the people, the paperwork, and the connections to do it right.
We have worked in Syria for thirty years. We're Syrian and UK-educated. We speak your language and we know your market — because it's ours too. From your first visit to your first deal, we handle the ground so you can focus on the opportunity.
For the first time in a generation, Syria is open. In 2025 the United States lifted its comprehensive sanctions and repealed the Caesar Act. A market of millions is rebuilding — and it sits right on Lebanon's doorstep, sharing the same language and culture. The businesses that move early will define it.
Comprehensive US sanctions lifted and the Caesar Act repealed in 2025 — a generation's first real opening.
Millions of people and entire sectors are rebuilding. Early movers will shape the market for years to come.
One border away from Lebanon, with the same language and shared history — the natural first move.
Open — but done right. Syria is open, but it isn't simple. The US, EU, and UK regimes still differ, and certain entities remain restricted. The opportunity is real — and so is the need to enter carefully, with the right people beside you. That is exactly what we are for. (Accurate as of mid-2026 · reviewed quarterly.)
A deep study to understand demand and competition, plus a project-specific read on your venture.
Expedited visa approvals, travel, accommodation, and a focused itinerary — your trip, arranged.
Your Syrian entity set up end to end: registration, licensing, and every paper.
Live, vetted deals matched to your goals and budget. No guesswork, no cold leads.
Trusted, vetted Syrian partners, suppliers, and counterparts — backed by our name.
The right doors into the relevant ministries and authorities for your sector.
Vetted Syrian talent to build your team from the ground up.
The market is new, but the way we do business isn't. These are the principles our clients and partners can count on.
We listen first, speak plainly, and treat every client, partner, and counterpart with respect.
We do what's right — not just what's easy — and we stand behind every introduction we make.
Straight answers about what's possible and what isn't — even when it's not what you hoped to hear.
Clear scope, clear costs, and clear progress — you always know exactly where things stand.
"Our clients gain access not only to our services but also to our trusted network across London, Lebanon, the UAE, and beyond. By working with us, you are not just partnering with a company — you are becoming part of a wider network of opportunities and connections."
