Hatem Zeine is a technology innovator and serial entrepreneur in computer software and hardware. Hatem’s wireless power inventions have established remote wireless power as a viable method of powering devices remotely. As the CTO of OSSIA Inc., Hatem is now leading a team of engineers and innovators to bring true remote wireless power to the market with Cota™, an integrated smart technology that tracks and powers devices in the environment without the need for any user intervention. The Cota™ technology is poised to revolutionize the electronics market by enabling solutions and features that cannot be implemented only with batteries that need to be replaced or charged in a regular fashion.

Hatem started his technology drive at an early age by mastering computer software and hardware digital design. Hatem studied physics and linguistics at Manchester University in England. In 1990, Hatem founded ZEINE Technological Applications, the publisher of the bestselling Arabic language office products “Alef” and "Seen" on Macintosh. He grew that startup from 4 employees to a 250-employee company, attracting investments from Microsoft and CISCO. ZEINE became Estarta Solutions, the largest systems integrator in the Middle East, providing turnkey solutions to governments, telecoms, and financial institutions.
