• Presight CEO Thomas Pramotedham told AGBI the company aims to generate half its revenue from international markets by the end of the decade.
• AGBI's summary says overseas business is currently about a third of revenue; Presight's H1 2026 release states 26.7% for the six months to 30 June 2026.
• The H1 2026 overseas share compares with 24.6% in the prior-year period, per Presight's 11 August 2026 release.
• Presight reported a contract backlog of AED 4.9 billion as of 30 June 2026 and named deployments in Kazakhstan, Albania and Jordan.
• A management target is a statement of intent, not a forecast this desk can verify, and not a signal to trade the shares.

Presight, the Abu Dhabi artificial intelligence group, wants half of its revenue to come from international markets by the end of the decade. CEO Thomas Pramotedham told AGBI that overseas business currently accounts for about a third of revenue, and that the company is taking a role connecting the emirate's technology sector with innovators worldwide. The company's own latest results show a lower share, which frames how far the target has to travel.

What the filed numbers show

Presight's results release of 11 August 2026 states that international markets accounted for 26.7% of group revenue in the first half of 2026, compared with 24.6% in the prior-year period. The same release puts first-half international growth at 39.9% year on year. AGBI's 'about a third' is the CEO's description of the current position; the desk could not reconcile it with the filed half-year figure from the origins available.

The size of the gap to 50%

Moving from 26.7% to 50% means the overseas share would need to nearly double by the end of the decade, against a rise of 2.1 percentage points between the first halves of 2025 and 2026. That is simple arithmetic on Presight's reported figures, not a forecast. Whether the pace accelerates depends on contract wins and delivery abroad, which the company has not broken down year by year in the origins reviewed.

The pipeline behind the target

Presight reported a contract backlog of AED 4.9 billion as of 30 June 2026, and its release names ongoing deployments in Kazakhstan, Albania and Jordan, plus Africa and new engagements in Montenegro. It describes a multi-year contract in Albania for a smart nation programme without giving a value. The release does not say how much of the backlog is overseas, so the backlog cannot yet be mapped onto the 50% goal.

Group performance and what to watch

The headline of Presight's second-quarter release reports revenue of AED 713.2 million, up 36.1% year on year. The checkpoints for the target are the international share in each results release, any disclosure of the overseas portion of the backlog, and new foreign contract announcements. This is context for readers following the listing, not a recommendation, and the company's filings should be read directly rather than relying on the interview.
