Presight, a G42 company, has announced a landmark agreement with the Albanian government to implement a comprehensive smart city project across 20 cities, leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance urban infrastructure and public services.
The initiative, signed by Dr. Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Presight Chairman and UAE Minister for Industry and Advanced Technology, and Albanian Deputy Prime Minister Ervin Hoxha, aims to reduce traffic congestion, shorten emergency response times, and drive Albania’s digital transformation.
The project will establish a centralized command and control center, enabling efficient management of public service operations and optimizing urban mobility. According to Presight, the deployment will digitize urban infrastructure, modernize public services, and position Albania as a leading adopter of AI and smart nation technologies in Europe.
“This project is designed to enhance Albania’s sustainability and digital transformation agenda, while also introducing efficiencies across public services,” a Presight statement confirmed.
Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight, lauded Albania’s commitment to “embarking on one of Europe’s most ambitious smart nation transformations, leveraging AI to drive economic growth, efficiency, and community well-being.” This strategic partnership underscores the UAE’s commitment to fostering technological advancement and sustainable development in the Balkan region.
