InfoPro's debut came with the publishing of Lebanon Opportunities,
which has become the country's leading business magazine. The success of
Lebanon Opportunities has opened the door to the publishing of several
information-based magazines and reference books.
InfoPro was successful in developing a strong advertising department generating
a sizeable percentage of the company's income. An outbound call center was also
established that sells thousands of subscriptions and books each year.
In

East InfoSearch (MEI), a market research company and renamed it
InfoPro Research. It has become the leading provider of research
to many business sectors, including banking, insurance, construction, and
technologies.

subscribers, Saudi Arabia's daily business newspaper. In October, BusinessWeek
