Abu Dhabi, UAE – 24 November 2025: Presight, a leading global AI and big data analytics company, hosted a kickoff event for its Eureka 2.0 internal Research & Development program, where it was revealed that 87 proposals for AI and data innovation projects were submitted by Presight employees.

The Eureka 2.0 program – part of Presight’s ‘Future Ready Employees’ initiative – is designed to accelerate the development of transformative, AI-powered solutions by harnessing the creativity and expertise of Presight’s workforce. The program provides a structured framework to capture, evaluate, invest in, and scale employee-driven ideas, reinforcing Presight’s commitment to fostering a culture of innovation from within.

Dr. Adel Al Sharji, Chief Operating Officer of Presight, commented: “I share my congratulations to the initial shortlist of the Eureka 2.0 program and thank all applicants for participating. The volume and quality of proposals is reflective of why Presight is a globally leading AI company. I’m incredibly proud to see the passion for innovation, depth of expertise, and level of ingenuity shown by our Presighters. Through the Eureka 2.0 program we aimed to nurture a culture where experimentation and bold thinking are encouraged, and it pleases me to see our team warmly embracing it. It’s not just an innovation competition, it’s a talent program too, helping our teams to be future ready and more employable.”

The winning AI applications, products and services developed through the Eureka 2.0 program will be evaluated for inclusion in the company’s portfolio of AI solutions.

Proposal submissions opened in September and a judging panel consisting of Presight leadership evaluated all 87 applications. At the kickoff event, a shortlist of the top 25 proposals were announced and these winners will now proceed to the mentorship and concept refinement phase of the program.

Each finalist will now receive tailored mentorship from nine of Presight’s top experts, covering key areas such as application development, software engineering, commercialization strategy, project management, and proof-of-concept feasibility testing.

Following the concept refinement phase, the 25 finalists will pitch their proposals on Wednesday 26 November to a jury of the mentors, to battle it out for a spot at our finals with the Executive Leadership team. The overall winner will be selected by Presight employees during a live voting session at Presight’s end of year party on 12th December. Winning proposals will be selected based on innovation, feasibility, alignment with Presight’s growth strategy, and potential impact.

The Eureka 2.0 program builds on the success of the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator program launched earlier this year. The Accelerator attracted 120 applications from AI startups around the world, of which 10 finalists were chosen as part of cohort one who have now gone on to generate more than 70 qualified commercial and strategic leads, with several of these startups now in advanced partnership and contract discussions with major industry and government clients both in UAE and internationally. In recognition of the success of the Presight AI-Startup Accelerator, the Eureka 2.0 program avails the same opportunity for innovation and entrepreneurial ingenuity to Presight’s employees.
