Alumni at Glide Electric Scooters

Sherif El Sayad '00, Chairman of Tredco Sayad Engineering Industries and founder of Glide Electric Scooters, invited a group of AUC seniors to his factory at the 10th of Ramadan City. He told them about the history of the family business and spoke passionately about his days at AUC. The students even had a chance to try out the Glide electric scooters after El Sayad told them about the concept, technology, and marketing behind this innovation.
