Ahmad Kabeel, the founder of Egyptian information and technology communications company OMS, discusses how he decided to create the company to help corporations enhance their productivity and improve their cost structure. "It was so clear that there was a gap between technology and what industries and businesses are looking for," says Kabeel. OMS now serves 26 countries across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

"Entrepreneurship is a way of life," he says. "There is nothing called 'I want to be an entrepreneur but I can't.'"
