In collaboration with iAccel GBI, under the patronage of Dubai SME, Hexitime is set to bring its award-winning platform to Middle Eastern businesses. This expansion aims to revolutionize how industry professionals in the region access and share knowledge, offering a pioneering digital marketplace where employees can exchange skills and expertise using a tokenized time currency.
Hexitime’s platform is designed to help organizations enhance efficiency, foster collaboration, and reduce operational costs by upskilling their workforce without additional expenses. Having already made significant impacts in healthcare and education sectors in the UK, Hexitime is now poised to offer UAE businesses innovative solutions to address today’s organizational challenges. This initiative is expected to foster innovation, collaboration, and shared learning, significantly enhancing healthcare delivery and outcomes in the region.
“Hexitime: A Tool for Collaboration and Innovation”
Dr. Hesham Abdalla, Co-founder of Hexitime and Former Consultant Paediatrician at Oxford University Hospitals, emphasized the platform’s potential. “Hexitime is more than just a tool—it’s a force for good, creating a culture of collaboration and knowledge-sharing across organizations. By trading knowledge and skills, we enable professionals to come together, unlock their potential, and build stronger, more innovative teams that can take on the challenges of today’s fast-paced business environment.”
In many businesses, valuable expertise often remains untapped due to organizational silos and rigid job titles. Hexitime addresses these challenges by offering a digital marketplace where employees can trade their knowledge and skills using a tokenized time currency. This unique approach has already proven its effectiveness in the UK, where Hexitime supports over 4,500 users and has won multiple innovation awards.
“Unlocking Hidden Expertise”
John Lodge, Co-founder of Hexitime and former NHS Director, highlighted the platform’s ability to discover hidden expertise within organizations. “Hexitime enables organizations to find hidden expertise within their workforce, bringing employees together to solve problems and innovate. Whether you’re looking to improve retention, increase productivity, or enhance profitability, Hexitime’s unique time banking system gives your employees the tools they need to drive your business forward.”
The platform’s features include a powerful organizational search engine that allows businesses to discover expertise within their teams, fostering a more connected and collaborative work culture. With seamless integration, Hexitime helps UAE organizations tap into their employees’ full potential, while also allowing residents across the UAE to contribute their skills, creating an inclusive and equitable workplace.
Global Expansion and Future Plans
Hexitime’s growth strategy includes not only focusing on the UAE market but also plans for global expansion. By the end of the year, the company will take on major investors and launch its Social Pension initiative, which connects businesses to local communities worldwide. This initiative demonstrates Hexitime’s commitment to social good and workforce empowerment.
Founded by NHS professionals John Lodge and Dr. Hesham Abdalla, Hexitime originated as a solution to help the NHS improve collaboration among its employees. The company’s success in the UK, along with a partnership with the University of Warwick, has set the stage for its international expansion, with the UAE as a key focus.
Operating on an annual SaaS license business model, Hexitime provides organizations with a scalable, secure, and cost-effective way to maximize their workforce’s potential. The company’s vision is to revolutionize how organizations operate by making it easier for professionals to exchange expertise, improve outputs, and drive success through collaboration.
