About Bureau Berix

Lebanon's first
data company.

Founded to fill a void that has cost Lebanese decision-makers dearly for far too long.

Our Story

Born from
Lebanon's silence.

Bureau Berix was founded in 2023 by a team of Lebanese economists, data scientists, and researchers who had spent years working with international organizations and repeatedly hit the same wall: there was no reliable, structured source of Lebanese data.

The 2019 financial crisis made the consequences of this information void catastrophic. Banks collapsed without adequate risk data. NGOs designed programs without demographic baselines. Entrepreneurs raised money on guesswork. Policymakers legislated in the dark.

We decided to build what Lebanon was missing. Not a think tank, not a consultancy — a data company. Rigorous, structured, commercially viable, and built to last.

Today, Bureau Berix is the country's only dedicated provider of structured data intelligence across nine critical domains, serving banks, NGOs, businesses, and international organizations operating in Lebanon.

Mission

Make informed decision-making possible in Lebanon.

We provide accurate, structured, and accessible data intelligence so that every organization operating in Lebanon can act on evidence, not assumption.

Vision

A Lebanon where data drives recovery.

We believe Lebanon's economic and social recovery depends on better information. Berix will be the foundational data infrastructure that makes that possible.

Our Methodology

How we build
data you can trust.

01

Source identification

Every dataset begins with a rigorous audit of available primary sources — government, institutional, and field-collected.

02

Collection & cleaning

Raw data is collected, deduplicated, normalized, and cleaned against our internal quality standards.

03

Cross-referencing

All data points are cross-referenced against at least two independent sources before publication.

04

Documentation

Full methodology notes, confidence levels, and source citations accompany every published dataset.

What We Stand For

Our values are
non-negotiable.

In a context as fragile as Lebanon's, the principles behind how we work matter as much as the data itself.

Rigorous accuracy

Every data point is sourced, cross-referenced, and documented. We never publish what we cannot verify.

Radical transparency

We tell you exactly where data comes from, its limitations, and its confidence level. No black boxes.

Lebanon first

We are a Lebanese company, for Lebanon. Our purpose is to contribute to the country's recovery and resilience.

Client confidentiality

Who you are and what you need from us stays between us. Absolute discretion is a founding commitment.
