Sign, a blockchain technology company building Sovereign Infrastructure for Global Nations (S.I.G.N.), pioneering national-scale token distribution and verifiable credential systems, announced a long-term strategic partnership with The Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi (ADBC), a prominent regional hub supporting the growth of the blockchain and digital assets ecosystem.
The collaboration establishes a clear framework for identifying, structuring, and delivering advanced blockchain infrastructure projects specifically tailored for public-sector and sovereign clients. Together, Sign and The Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi are committed to deploying the best solutions to accelerate Abu Dhabi’s blockchain adoption and broader digitization efforts.
The partnership is designed to translate cutting-edge decentralized technology into practical national and regional digital transformation initiatives. Sign brings its expertise in building verifiable and interoperable digital records systems, while The Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi serves as a critical partner, offering deep regulatory guidance, licensing support, fundraising assistance, and unparalleled access to governmental and institutional bodies throughout the MENA region. Initial phases of the collaboration will focus on pilot deployments, with plans to progress into licensing arrangements and potential joint ventures to facilitate full-scale implementation.
“This partnership is a significant acceleration of our mission to foster innovation and long-term digital growth for the entire region,” said Abdulla Al Dhaheri, The Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi CEO. “We are positioning ourselves as the strategic hub that not only attracts but actively guides the adoption of advanced blockchain infrastructure. By working with Sign, we are helping our sovereign and public-sector clients modernize their systems with verifiable digital records, signaling our commitment to building a forward-looking, sustainable digital economy.”
For Sign, the collaboration offers a structured pathway to institutional and sovereign engagement. “Partnering with The Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi opens a crucial channel for Sign to deploy our decentralized attestation technology directly into high-impact public use cases,” said Xin Yan, CEO of Sign. “We view Abu Dhabi as one of the most forward-thinking and ambitious nations in the digital space. We are incredibly bullish on this ecosystem and are committed to establishing a dedicated office in Abu Dhabi in 2026. Our goal is to work with The Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi to establish Abu Dhabi as a global benchmark for blockchain and digitization, creating a successful model that we can subsequently export to other nations.”
The collaboration will follow a multi-phase structure, moving from initial project identification and structuring to pilot execution, and ultimately scaling to larger operational models depending on each public-sector client’s unique requirements. This comprehensive framework ensures a robust process from early conceptualization to full-scale deployment of sovereign-grade blockchain solutions.
