In an era of rapid technological advancement, clinical research stands at a pivotal juncture. This conference aims to explore and highlight the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) empowerment in clinical trials. We will delve into how AI is reshaping clinical research and medical advancements, and we will also go through a state of the art of the Lebanese clinical trials evolution. This event is particularly significant as we gather in Lebanon, a nation that, despite navigating considerable crises, continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and a "born again" spirit in maintaining and advancing its scientific positioning in the region's clinical research landscape. Lebanon has a strong foundation, with the MoPH actively promoting and registering clinical studies to international standards. This conference serves as a testament to our collective commitment to fostering a robust, innovative, and ethically sound clinical research ecosystem across the region. Key topics of the conference will include:

• Integrating AI and machine learning into clinical trial design and execution.
• Leveraging real-world data and decentralized clinical trials for better outcomes.
• Policy dialogues on promoting a conducive environment for clinical research in Lebanon and the wider Arab region.
• Showcasing local state of the art of research & innovations.

Your expertise and decision-making capacity are crucial to shaping the future of healthcare. We believe your participation will spark meaningful dialogue and contribute significantly to the seminar's success. We look forward to welcoming you and collaborating towards a healthier, more scientifically advanced future for our region.

Sincerely,
