Abu Dhabi-based AI and big data analytics company Presight has announced a strategic partnership with the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), the organizer of premier global tech events GITEX GLOBAL and Expand North Star. The collaboration aims to significantly expand the international footprint of the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator Program, bolstering the UAE’s position as a hub for applied AI innovation.
Strengthening the UAE’s AI Startup Ecosystem
Through this partnership, Presight will leverage DWTC’s extensive international platform to enhance its role in shaping the global AI startup ecosystem. The collaboration is designed to empower founders who are developing applied intelligence solutions by providing them with unparalleled access to world-class infrastructure, expert mentorship, and significant commercial opportunities. The agreement was formalized to make Presight an official partner of the accelerator program, leveraging DWTC’s global reach to attract and support high-potential AI ventures.
A Strategic Collaboration for Global Reach
The partnership will focus on co-developing initiatives that connect AI startups with a global network of investors, government entities, and industry leaders. By tapping into DWTC’s innovation platforms, particularly GITEX GLOBAL and Expand North Star, the accelerator program will gain amplified international engagement. This provides participating startups with direct access to DWTC’s ecosystem of founders and partners, enabling them to showcase new technologies, enter new markets, and accelerate their growth trajectories.
Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight, commented, “This partnership brings an exceptional opportunity to strengthen the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator’s international footprint and connect visionary founders with the global innovation ecosystem. Together, we are helping to shape a future where AI startups have the resources, visibility, and networks to turn transformative ideas into reality.”
Trixie LohMirmand, Executive Vice President of DWTC, added, “We are delighted with the opportunity to partner with Presight and this visionary outcome-driven AI-Startup Accelerator programme, which exemplifies our shared commitment to empowering tech entrepreneurs with access to global investment and growth opportunities without boundaries.”
Building on a Foundation of Innovation

Its inaugural cohort, showcased at Expand North Star 2025, featured 10 startups from around the world developing AI solutions with real-world impact.
