UAE, Israeli Firms Team Up On Top-Tier Tech Recruitment

Israeli and Emirati firms have teamed up to form a technology recruitment platform, in the latest bilateral venture stemming from the 2020 Abraham Accords normalization agreement.

Global Valley, formed by Herzliya-headquartered investment firm Viola Group and Abu Dhabi’s artificial intelligence company G42, will provide a recruitment platform covering a wide range of tech positions, including niche specializations like AI and machine learning. 

The partnership, which is based in Abu Dhabi, aims to provide international companies with the resources to recruit leading tech candidates, creating a fast-growing recruitment ecosystem for startups around the world. 

Companies can use the platform to recruit Abu Dhabi-based employees and virtually integrate them into their workspace.  

“We believe this initiative will have a major impact on the development of the region. Technology will continue to be a significant force of transformation globally, and this is the time to invest in the infrastructure that will provide tech companies, in Israel and globally, with the best-of-class tech talent to fuel their future growth and support their activities in the region,” said Viola cofounder and General Partner Avi Zeevi. 

G42 CEO  Peng Xiao welcomed the partnership as an opportunity to promote growth in Abu Dhabi. 

“As the company begins operations in the region, we are confident that it will drive economic growth and empower the next generation of tech leaders, here and globally,” Xiao said.
