Abu Dhabi - Mubasher: Presight AI Holding announced the first six AI companies selected to receive investment through its AI Innovation Ecosystem, according to a press release.

The investments are part of the Presight–Shorooq Fund I (PSFI), a $100 million global early-stage fund established in partnership with Shorooq.

Located in the US and UAE, the companies span sovereign AI infrastructure, vertical intelligence platforms for capital and industry, and edge-native intelligence systems.

They show that Presight is dedicated to finding innovative applied intelligence systems that are ready to be used in complicated and regulated settings where dependability, strength, and proper management are very important

The first six investments include AMI-Advanced Machine Intelligence, which advances world model AI architectures designed to help machines understand and interact with the physical world. This allows deeper reasoning, planning, and real-world interaction beyond traditional predictive AI architectures.

Meanwhile, NodeShift offers enterprises a secure, on-premises AI platform that enables users to deploy AI models while keeping all data within their own infrastructure.

Magzhan Kenesbai, Chief Growth Officer of Presight, commented: “AI only creates lasting value when it can operate within real systems. These first investments reflect that conviction – spanning secure AI infrastructure, vertical intelligence platforms for capital and industry, and edge-native systems.”

Kenesbai added: “By combining operational environments, structured incubation through the Presight AI Accelerator, and strategic capital via PSFI, we are creating clear pathways from innovation to implementation—translating frontier AI into intelligent systems at scale.”

Bilal Baloch, Partner at Shorooq, said: “To have invested in six highly promising companies, after assessing over 1,000, outside our home market alongside leading peers in the US and Asia in 120 days is a marker toward that vision.”

“We were most impressed that these founders are pushing the boundaries of what AI can do—from giving every app a voice interface to automating billion-dollar industries—and thereby allowing us to back varying theses across the AI stack,” Baloch highlighted.

In August 2025, Presight held its first-ever AI Startup Accelerator Bootcamp in Abu Dhabi, which brought together 10 startups globally to scale real-world AI solutions.
