Presight and Microsoft Join Forces to Propel AI Start-ups in the UAE

In a groundbreaking move for the tech landscape, Presight, a leading global big data analytics company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Microsoft to launch the Presight AI-Start-up Accelerator program. This initiative aims to empower emerging AI start-ups in the UAE, providing them with essential resources and mentorship to thrive in a competitive market.

The accelerator program, unveiled during GITEX Global last year, is tailored for start-ups that have developed prototypes and are ready to test their products in the market. By leveraging the combined expertise of Presight and Microsoft, participants will gain access to cutting-edge technology, high-performance computing, and foundational AI models, including large language models and generative AI analytics.

Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “Our partnership with Microsoft underscores our mutual dedication to nurturing the next wave of AI pioneers. Together, we will foster a vibrant ecosystem where groundbreaking AI can flourish.”

Naim Yazbeck, General Manager of Microsoft UAE, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and technical resources in driving innovation. “We are excited to support AI start-ups in their journey to success,” he said. “The Microsoft Founders Hub will ensure these start-ups have the infrastructure to innovate and scale.”

The program not only offers venture funding opportunities but also facilitates networking within the G42 ecosystem, enhancing the start-ups’ commercial advantage. Applications for the Presight AI-Start-up Accelerator are open until April 10, 2025, inviting aspiring entrepreneurs to embark on a transformative journey in the world of artificial intelligence.
