Maqta Gateway, a wholly owned subsidiary of AD Ports Group's Digital Cluster, has signed a strategic partnering agreement with Presight AI Technologies LLC to transform trade logistics through AI-powered prescriptive analytics. The deal, announced on September 30, 2024, positions two of Abu Dhabi's leading technology companies to jointly develop and commercialize cutting-edge digital solutions for the ports and maritime sectors.
What the Maqta Gateway–Presight AI Partnership Covers
Under the terms of the agreement, both parties will collaborate exclusively on developing and commercializing artificial intelligence and data analytics solutions for the trade of goods across ports and maritime industries. The partnership combines Maqta Gateway's decade-long expertise in trade digitalization with Presight's advanced big data analytics and Generative AI capabilities — with the stated goal of elevating the global competitiveness of UAE ports.
Dr. Noura Al Dhaheri, CEO of Maqta Gateway and AD Ports Group's Digital Cluster, framed the deal as a milestone in Abu Dhabi's digital transformation: "This agreement is a step forward in unifying the efforts of Abu Dhabi's leading technology companies to provide unmatched digitalisation solutions to international markets within the trade and logistics value chain."
Presight AI's Role in the Collaboration
Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight AI, highlighted the strategic fit between the two firms: "Presight's advanced big data analytics and Generative AI solutions will complement Maqta Gateway's existing offerings and will positively impact maritime trade, logistics, and the industry at large while opening new opportunities for collaboration and growth."
Presight AI Technologies LLC is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) under the ticker PRESIGHT and specializes in big data analytics and Generative AI across sectors including public safety, banking, and logistics.
Maqta Gateway's Track Record in Trade Digitalization
Founded in 2016 as the digital arm of AD Ports Group, Maqta Gateway has spent nearly a decade leading digitalization efforts across trade, ports, and logistics. Its solutions have successfully integrated more than 70 entities within the UAE and globally, processing over 150 million transactions through its digital platforms.
The company also spearheads Abu Dhabi's digital mandate for maritime trade and government services — making it a natural anchor partner for an AI-driven logistics initiative of this scale.
Why This Deal Matters for UAE Logistics
The Maqta Gateway Presight AI partnership reflects a broader push by Abu Dhabi to position itself as a global hub for AI-enabled trade infrastructure. By combining proprietary trade data with Presight's Generative AI engine, the two firms aim to deliver prescriptive analytics tools that can optimize cross-border trade flows, reduce port congestion, and create new commercial data products for the international maritime market.
