The name might be familiar to you since Fadel Adib was already on MIT’s “35 Innovators Under 35” list earlier in 2014 along with Ayah Bdeir and Rand Hindi.
Fadel is known to have created WiTrack, which allows tracking of moving bodies using wireless signals, and has been named once again among the world’s top people in technology but this time in Forbes list of 30 Under 30 rising stars in enterprise technology.

Fadel is yet another example how successful can Lebanese be outside their country but have to suffer here due to the political and social pressures.
