Dr. Adel Al Sharji, Chief Operating Officer of Presight, has affirmed that the company is targeting an increase in its international revenue contribution to around 60% over the coming year, up from the current range of 35 to 40%, as it continues to expand into global markets and strengthen its presence in AI solutions.
Al Sharji told Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the sidelines of an event organised by the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange aboard an Etihad Rail train that the company is continuing to implement its expansion plans both within the UAE and abroad, noting that it currently operates in 17 countries worldwide, with plans to continue expanding into new markets.
Al Sharji explained that Presight has concluded new agreements in several African countries, including Togo and Tanzania, and is continuing to expand its projects in Kazakhstan following the implementation of a smart city project in the capital Astana, with plans to move into other cities within the country.
He noted that the company is currently focusing on developing AI agent solutions, having built a platform that allows individuals and organisations to easily create specialised digital assistants that can be trained in the skills and expertise required to carry out various tasks according to user needs.
He added that the platform enables organisations to build digital assistants to support a range of functions, including administrative, technical, and specialised work, explaining that these solutions are aimed at automating repetitive tasks and improving operational efficiency.
He confirmed that the company provides the platform to clients, with each client responsible for developing their own digital agents in line with the nature of their business and requirements, granting organisations the flexibility to design and continuously develop their own AI solutions.
He pointed out that demand for AI agent solutions is growing rapidly, from government entities, private sector companies, and even individual users, amid increasing adoption of these technologies to support business operations and raise productivity, and in alignment with the UAE's targets to deploy AI assistance in 50% of government work within two years.
It is worth noting that the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange celebrated the launch of trading in new derivatives contracts aboard an Etihad Rail train during a journey between Abu Dhabi and Fujairah, in what was the first trading bell-ringing ceremony in the world to take place on board a passenger train.
