In the past year, the world has truly embraced artificial intelligence across all facets of business operations and Presight has experienced increased demand for AI products and solutions which clients can implement immediately. We call this ‘Applied Intelligence Today’ where AI and big data analytics are harnessed to solve real-world challenges and deliver greater value to our customers not at some point in the future, but now.

The relevance of this approach was reflected in our Q3 numbers, and in November we reported a 9.6 per cent year-to-date revenue increase and a 16.2 per cent rise in profit before tax driven by three key factors. These include a landmark contract with Jordan’s Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship to transform healthcare services in the country, and the development of ENERGYai by Presight-owned AIQ for ADNOC, highlighting our ability to address critical sectoral challenges with tailored AI solutions.

The launch of the Presight Enterprise AI Suite, including Presight Vitruvian, Presight Connect, and the Presight Report Optimizer, brought new generative AI capabilities to businesses. Meanwhile, the Presight Intelli Platform transforms operations and management of the urban realm whilst the Presight Datahub is the UAE’s first sovereign enterprise data marketplace platform that lets organisations create data products, realise value and seamlessly exchange data. Presight also deepened its global presence through partnerships in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan and also implemented similar in Latin America and across MENA.

Our forecast is that demand for AI and big data analytics is set to accelerate even further next year. We see demand for applied intelligence solutions growing in 2025 and we’ll meet this demand by continuing to enhance the depth and relevance of our generative AI tools, aiming to create products and solutions that drive measurable benefits in efficiency, sustainability, and scalability across sectors like energy, finance, and smart cities​.

By combining domain-specific knowledge with advanced technologies, Presight is tailoring solutions for priority industries such as public safety, finance and energy. This focus enables faster deployment and immediate impact​.

We’ll also continue our international expansion into new countries and regions around the world. Initiatives such as the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator are designed to foster innovation by providing startups with resources, market access, and mentoring.

As AI technologies evolve, several trends identified in 2024 are expected to influence the coming years. For instance, the generative and agentic AI evolution. Beyond generating content, AI is now being deployed for specialised tasks, from seismic analysis in energy exploration to decision-making in public safety.

Tools like ENERGYai illustrate the role of AI in addressing sustainability goals, such as reducing emissions and optimising resource use. Similar applications are expected to expand across industries like logistics and urban management.

With continued investment in infrastructure and partnerships, the UAE’s vision to become a global hub for AI and big data is gaining momentum. Initiatives like the development of sovereign AI models in Central Asia and partnerships with international technology leaders showcase the potential of such ecosystems to drive innovation.

Presight’s work in 2024 has provided a foundation for sustained growth and innovation. As global organisations increasingly seek integrated solutions that combine AI and big data, we remain focused on practical, impactful technologies that align with societal and environmental needs. By refining its tools, supporting startups, and advancing responsible AI practices, Presight is positioning itself to navigate the complexities of an evolving technology landscape while contributing to meaningful progress in the sectors it serves.
