Hub71 signs new tie-ups to drive tech talent
ABU DHABI, January 31, 2021 Hub 71, Abu Dhabi’s global tech ecosystem, has partnered with the UAE University’s Science and Innovation Park (UAEU SIP) and Insead Middle East Campus-to upskill talent in Abu Dhabi and attract new science and tech capabilities. Abu Dhabi’s embrace of technology and innovation largely consists of upskilling its local talent and attracting top talent from around the world to keep pace with its digital transformation. In a 2020 survey by PwC of CEOs in the Middle East, 70% said the availability of key digital skills is a business threat and its GCC Hopes and Fears survey found that only 23% of employees are learning new skills through their employer to better understand or use technology.
