Would you get emotional about oil and gas? Yes, if it impacts your future and your country’s fate. This talk explores what happens when a country becomes oil rich, and suggests practical solutions to steer clear of corruption.

Georges Sassine is an energy expert, a Lebanese activist and co-founder of the Lebanese Oil and Gas Initiative(LOGI). Through his NGO he is building a global network of experts that will help Lebanon build its nascent oil and gas industry away from corruption and benefit all its citizens. He is a Harvard University and American University of Beirut alumni.
