For our sixth and final panel, we brought on the guys who we think are likely to be Egypt’s first climate billionaires by building one of the most exciting of Egypt's climate startups — Shift EV,  which efficiently and cost-effectively converts fleets from internal combustion engines into electric vehicles. We spoke with its co-founder and CEO, Aly El Tayeb, who started Shift EV in his basement, and Karim Hussein, managing partner at Algebra Ventures, and one of Aly’s first investors.

Participants:

Aly El Tayeb (Linkedin), co-founder and CEO, Shift EV.

Karim Hussein (Linkedin), managing partner, Algebra Ventures.

Interviewed by: Hisham Abdien, executive editor, Enterprise and Patrick FitzPatrick, editor-in-chief, Enterprise.
