In response to the growing disruption of Industry 4.0, Talent Fourth Generation (TFG) Group has officially launched the first and largest talent marketplace in the MENA region, providing businesses with the tools and strategies relevant to Talent Needs to thrive in the evolving digital economy.

With the World Economic Forum predicting that 44% of skills will change in the coming years and 45% of CEOs anticipating disruptions to their business models, organizations are facing a critical need to adapt their talent strategies or risk falling behind. TFG addresses this challenge by offering a comprehensive, collaborative ecosystem designed to empower organizations through cutting-edge talent solutions.

TFG embodies the concept of a talent marketplace—a one-stop shop for everything talent-related–by combining talent strategy, skill intelligence, learning solutions, people solutions, and technology solutions under one roof. This holistic offering eliminates the operational hassles and challenges of working with multiple unconnected providers, allowing organizations to focus on demonstrating business impact and maximizing return on investment.

TFG’s marketplace combines consulting, skill analytics, training, and technology expertise through partnerships with over 30 prestigious global institutions—including Ivy League universities and top-tier tech companies. TFG leverages a comprehensive strategy to close critical skills gaps, address talent shortages, and empower organizations. With a focus on talent agility, TFG emphasizes strategic workforce planning, AI-enabled skills management, and human-centric recruitment.

Under the expert leadership of Dr. Allen Baby, a recognized authority in talent strategy and former Chief Learning Officer at the Emirates Institute of Finance, TFG stands out as a leader in the MENA region. Dr. Baby’s groundbreaking development of a Middle East-specific skills framework at the University of Cambridge and his success in national upskilling programs set TFG apart in addressing region-specific talent challenges.

TFG offers tailored support for HR leaders and CXOs across sectors such as banking, government, technology, manufacturing, and retail. Its presence, extending into the Middle East, APAC, Europe, and North America, ensures access to a world-class network of advisors and thought leaders.

“As the pace of disruption continues to accelerate, organizations must embrace a talent-first approach to remain competitive,” said Dr. Allen Baby, CEO of TFG Group. “Our marketplace offers a holistic solution that addresses skills gap while also empowering enterprises to create sustainable talent strategies that drive long-term success.”
