Ahmed Abou Hashima is a self-made Egyptian entrepreneur whose ambition is clearly limitless. He started working in the steel industry in 1996 and now leads one of the biggest industrial companies in the Middle East. In 2011, he took a risk and invested $1bn into Egyptian Steel, which eventually paid off. Egyptian Steel produces high-quality steel using efficient, innovative techniques, state-of-the-art and eco-friendly technologies, which enabled the group to rank among the world’s largest green steel producers after the full operation of all of its four plants.
