Around 400 companies applied from 62 countries. That pool was cut to 33 shortlisted companies, then to 16 finalists who pitched in early June, before Presight landed on its final cohort of 12.
Two of those twelve are companies we advise: rahd·AI and Transparently.ai.
Getting into Presight's accelerator isn't easy. The eight-person jury included Presight CEO Thomas Pramotedham, MBZUAI's Sultan Al Hajji, and Tina Daher of Shorooq Partners, alongside senior figures from G42 and K3 Ventures.
The programme gives a small number of market-ready AI companies direct access to enterprise and government clients across 19 countries, plus infrastructure, compute and mentorship from Presight and the wider G42 ecosystem.
rahd·AI: cutting the cost of decommissioning
rahd·AI is changing how the energy sector handles offshore decommissioning. Global decommissioning costs are projected to exceed $200 billion by 2040, and most of the data needed to do that work safely is buried across decades of fragmented engineering records and reports.
rahd·AI's platform turns that fragmented data into structured well intelligence, helping operators make faster, safer decisions. The company's goal is to cut global decommissioning costs by 35%. It has already validated savings of 15%, working with partners including TotalEnergies and the Net Zero Technology Centre.
Congratulations to Jake Stride, Innes Grant, Stuart McLeod and the rest of the team.
Transparently.ai: catching fraud years before it surfaces
Transparently.ai, founded by Hamish Macalister and Mauro Sauco, is a forensic accounting AI company that detects accounting manipulation and financial-statement fraud. The Singapore based company's Risk Engine is trained on decades of data across tens of thousands of companies, and it's built to surface the kind of red flags that typically take forensic accountants, short sellers and credit analysts weeks to uncover, in seconds.
The system can analyse any document formats, any accounting formats, structured and unstructured data, any language and more - even entire data rooms. Fraud and accounting manipulation cost stakeholders more than $1 trillion a year worldwide, and Transparently.ai counts Franklin Templeton among its backers.
Congratulations to Hamish, Mauro and the rest of the team.
Why this matters to us
We work with scale-ups, VCs, family offices and government agencies driving growth between ASEAN and the GCC. Watching two companies we've advised earn a place in a cohort this competitive is the kind of outcome we look for: real commercial validation, and a direct line into the enterprise and government markets we work to open up for AI companies entering the GCC.
Congratulations to everyone selected in Presight's 2026 Cohort II, and to the Presight team for building a programme that's quickly becoming one of the most credible AI accelerators in the world.
