Abu Dhabi – Mubasher: Presight AI Holding has signed separate memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with the governments of three countries in Africa to support their national digital transformation initiatives, accoridng to a bourse disclosure.
The three new agreements with Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, and Gabon will further expand Presight’s growing portfolio of operations across the continent, where the company has been advancing AI and digital transformation initiatives with governments and institutions.
Presight will work with national institutions to design and deploy intelligent digital systems that integrate data, analytics, and automation directly into public sector operations, which will in return strengthen digital infrastructure and enhance the delivery of government services.
In Africa, the UAE listed company is also advancing partnerships, pilot projects, and digital innovation programs in Angola, the Republic of Congo, Gambia, Mauritius, Seychelles, Tanzania, Zambia, and Uganda.
Chief Operating Officer of Presight, Adel Alsharji, said: “Across Africa, governments are increasingly exploring how artificial intelligence can support economic development, strengthen institutions, and modernize public services.”
Alsharji noted: “At Presight, our focus is on designing and deploying intelligent systems that integrate data, automation, and advanced analytics directly into the operational environments governments rely on every day.”
He noted that by working closely with the company’s partners, Presight aims to support long-term digital transformation that strengthens institutions and delivers tangible benefits for citizens.
Alsharji concluded: “Our partnerships with these governments across Africa reflect a shared ambition to build national digital platforms that operate at scale, strengthen institutional capability, and enable faster, more informed decision-making across government systems.”
From her part, Anne Désirée Ouloto, Minister of State, Public Services, and Modernization of the Administration of Côte d’Ivoire, said: “This strategic collaboration marks a critical turning point in the digital transformation of our public administration, laying the foundation for a long-term partnership that’s decisively future-focused.”
She noted: “With this alliance, Côte d'Ivoire is poised to become the leading hub for Artificial Intelligence and tech innovation across West Africa.”
Oulot added: “We are deeply grateful for Presight’s exceptional dedication to sharing its cutting-edge technological expertise. Together, we are building a modern, data-driven, and citizen-centric administration – one that exemplifies high performance, transparency, and forward-thinking governance.”
For Burkina Faso, the UAE company penned an agreement including programs to support local innovation and talent development, such as the facilitation of an AI Expert Factory to train engineers and the establishment of the Ouaga Granit Valley Centre, a national hub designed to accelerate the growth of Burkina Faso’s AI startup ecosystem.
In February 2026, Presight signed MoU agreement with the government of Gabon as part of the renewal of an existing MoU with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Innovation in line with our shared commitment to maintain and accelerate the country’s digital transformation and modernize public services using AI.
The expansion comes as AI continues to attract significant global investment across Africa. Meanwhile, the African Development Bank Group and the United Nations Development Programme recently launched a $10 billion initiative aimed at accelerating responsible AI adoption and inclusive digital economic growth throughout the continent.
This builds on the UAE’s AI for Development initiative, announced in 2025 with $1 billion in funding to support artificial intelligence projects in African countries.
As part of its presence in MENA, Presight played an important role in introducing Vulcan to strategic partners, industry leaders, and regulators across the region.
