Sano Musab Hijazi's story, from poverty in Syria to success with artificial intelligence: I bought a pizza a week, ate a slice a day
He was born in Syria, 42 years ago, in the heart of a city ravaged by extreme poverty and the bombs of war, along with his nine brothers.
Today, Sano Musab Hijazi is the founder of a technological start-up, which is growing day by day.
His story is an inspiring example of discipline and determination. Born in difficult conditions, he has faced war and poverty since his childhood. However, his story becomes a successful journey.
After living in Saudi Arabia and then moving to Italy, Hijazi faced discrimination related to his name during his first years in Udine. However, he worked hard to pay for school, doing low-wage jobs and even sacrificing food to invest in his goals.
"I bought a pizza a week, I ate a slice a day. I didn't ask my family for anything. I built websites for 50 euros or 80 euros and lived. While I continued school," he says.
Deciding to leave everything behind, Hijazi moved to Milan in order to realize his entrepreneurial dream. Investing his money and taking an additional loan, he founded his start-up It's Prodigy. Despite the initial challenges, his firm has enjoyed great success, expanding from Milan to the United Arab Emirates, from the United States to Australia.
His business philosophy is based on innovation and care for the future, without ever looking back. His startup specializes in artificial intelligence and business intelligence, offering innovative solutions for data analysis and real-time reporting.
Although the initial capital was modest and the lack of support from outside investors, Hijaz's firm has achieved considerable success.
The key to Sano Musab Hijazi's success seems to be his ability to face challenges with determination.
