Under the transformative leadership of Osama Bishai, who has been with Orascom Construction PLC since 1985, the company has evolved into a global leader in engineering and construction. His vision has steered the company towards a focus on infrastructure, industrial, and high-end projects in the Middle East, Africa, and the US. Orascom also invests in concessions and owns 50% of BESIX Group.
Orascom has undertaken monumental projects that have significantly impacted the regions they serve, such as Egypt’s Bahr El Baqr and Abu Rawash water treatment plants and Saudi Arabia’s Dammam West ISTP. The company is pioneering the way in renewable energy with a 500MW wind farm and Africa’s first integrated hydrogen plant. Other key projects include the Grand Egyptian Museum, Egypt’s high-speed rail system, and the Magdi Yacoub Global Heart Centre.
