Bio
As a future-oriented entrepreneur who is on a mission to programme a new world, Atef likes to innovate the future by merging science and technology. He does this by cooperating with leading researchers and businesses, developing revolutionary products, and spearheading award-winning projects. In addition, Atef offers leadership to start-ups by guiding them in converting research into practical solutions through projects that address contemporary issues and anticipate the future.
Atef has so far made an impact in the following areas:
• Innovative Entrepreneurship has to come from within; the need to add something to the world that will change how things work has always driven me. Therefore, my background in computer science combined with an MBA in Entrepreneurship and the most recent certificate in Technology Management from MIT enabled me to create 4 patents, three of which have transformed aspects of the automotive industry and one aimed at saving water and electricity. Also, Atef is certified by the World Intellectual property Organization in IP, Patents, Patent Drafts, and Technology transfer.
• Technology Project Development - He founded CVISION AI, an AI-based solution designed to create a semi-autonomous ride experience, increase road safety, and reduce accidents. As a leading innovator of automotive devices created for promoting safety, this project united many qualified IT specialists, automotive engineers & AI system developers in delivering a revolutionary product based on the latest research and technological advancements.
• Leadership in the Software industry – Atef manages over 8 developers and spearheads multiple departments at a telehealth software company, where I am responsible for the research and development and for building future vision.
• As a Project Coordinator Atef is responsible for directing and mentoring innovative start-ups, researchers, and entrepreneurs, developing programs for leading innovation labs and business hubs. Overall, He currently counts over 30 social enterprises that I have supported and led to success. To further the exchange of ideas that lead to the latest developments, I organize TEDx talks and serve as a jury member in local and international competitions.
Please get in touch if I can help you build a new world by leading your innovative project. I’d be happy to discuss any ideas you might have or need.
