A London tech firm is targeting 1,000 employees after partnering with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office’s Innovation Programme.
Callsign will open two centres of excellence in the emirate. The partnership includes competitive financial incentives, including rebates on highly skilled payroll and high-tech CAPEX, as well as non-financial incentives, such as support with establishment processes and ecosystem engagement.
Callsign has introduced a pioneering approach to re-establishing digital trust. Its intelligence-driven authentication is being used to underpin digital trust across financial institutions, governments and commerce globally, while ensuring that bad actors are blocked.
The firm aims to expand its headcount to more than 100 employees by year-end.

The first of these centres will be based at Hub71, the emirate’s global tech ecosystem.
