Presight, a leading global AI and big data analytics company, has launched its inaugural AI-Startup Accelerator Bootcamp in Abu Dhabi, bringing together 10 promising startups from around the world for a transformative three-day program designed to scale real-world AI solutions.
The Bootcamp marks the official launch of the intensive Presight AI-Startup Accelerator program for its first cohort, which will run until December. Over the coming months, the startups will embark on a rigorous acceleration journey, gaining access to technical enablement, introductions to Presight’s clients to accelerate commercial opportunities, and expert mentorship with the aim of showcasing their growth and success at GITEX Expand North Star 2025.
The Bootcamp unites entrepreneurs, global tech leaders, and UAE institutional partners for an immersive experience of co-creation, collaboration, and strategic engagement. Importantly, the Bootcamp is the first opportunity where Presight’s government and private sector partners can evaluate the startups and assess the viability of their solutions to solve challenges for their respective organizations.
On the first day of the event, all 10 startups presented their ideas on stage in grouped pitch sessions, each aligned with one of three thematic categories. The “Urban Visionaries” track featured companies addressing large-scale urban challenges related to climate, mobility, and infrastructure. Startups under the “AI Tool & Tech Makers” theme showcased innovations that form the foundational infrastructure for secure and scalable AI development. Meanwhile, the “Market Shapers” track included ventures applying AI to reshape key industries such as fintech, energy, education, and investment decision-making.
The 10 companies part of the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator are:
- Derq (UAE, USA)
- Resync (Singapore)
- AlphaGeo (Singapore)
- Zypl.ai (UAE/Tajikistan)
- AJARI.ai (Indonesia/Singapore)
- Waverity (Azerbaijan)
- Vulcan (UAE)
- NodeShift (UAE, USA)
- Maiden Century (USA)
- Cobi (UAE, USA)
These startups represent a diverse array of sectors, including smart cities, energy, fintech, climate resilience, AI infrastructure, education, cybersecurity, and sovereign AI.
The Bootcamp is supported by global ecosystem partners, including Microsoft, Core42, and ADQ, who are leading dedicated training modules to help the startups refine go-to-market strategies and prepare for long-term engagement across regional markets.
Presight’s AI-Startup Accelerator is more than a program it’s a strategic growth engine for both visionary startups and Presight itself. By equipping these exceptional startups with world-class infrastructure and the critical levers to accelerate their commercial trajectory, Presight aims to amplify their growth velocity and contribute meaningfully to the UAE’s vision for global AI excellence.
The Bootcamp culminates today at Presight’s headquarters with strategic planning sessions, commercial readiness workshops, and a recap panel. This initiative underscores the growing role of technology in transforming industries and enhancing innovation ecosystems in the UAE and beyond.
