During this week’s visit to Japan, our Chairman, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and UAE special envoy to Japan, led a special delegation that included H.E. Dr. Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade; H.E. Saeed Mubarak Al Hajeri, Assistant Foreign Minister for Economic and Trade Affairs; Musabbeh Al Kaabi, Executive Director of Low Carbon Solutions and International Growth of ADNOC Group; Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO of #Masdar; and Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight. They held significant meetings with top leaders from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), SoftBank Group Corp., and Hitachi.
In the meeting with Tadashi Maeda, Chairman of JBIC, Dr. Sultan discussed strengthening bilateral economic relations exploring new investment opportunities and fostering collaboration in renewable energy projects. Thomas underlined the potential of combining Japanese technology and AI expertise, with Presight’s AI capabilities, to drive innovation and sustainable development across the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.
Dr. Sultan and Thomas also met with Masayoshi Son, Chairman & CEO of SoftBank Group Corp. and Chairman of the SoftBank Vision Fund Investment Committee. They discussed potential collaboration in technology and innovation, focusing on leveraging AI and renewable energy. Thomas emphasized opportunities to deploy Presight Connect to enhance SoftBank's operations, jointly develop new AI models for robotics, and create sector-specific AI solutions.
The Presight delegation also met with Keiji Kojima, President & CEO of Hitachi, to discuss progress since the signing of an MoU in January 2024. The focus was on integrating AI into smart and cognitive cities, sustainable urban planning, and environmental & energy efficiency solutions. Thomas highlighted how Presight’s AI assistant can revolutionize urban management by automating and optimizing a wide range of functions, including financial operations, customer service, regulatory compliance, and public communications.
It was a great opportunity for Presight to be part of this business delegation, and at the end of the day a pleasure to be hosted at a reception given by the UAE-Japan Friendship Society.
