Presight and NodeShift Form Strategic Partnership to Scale Sovereign AI Across Global Markets

Presight,  a leading global AI company that designs and deploys intelligent systems for governments and critical infrastructure, and NodeShift , a sovereign AI company which was part of Presight’s inaugural AI Accelerator Program, have announced a strategic partnership that includes joint go-to-market collaboration and investment support to expand the adoption of sovereign AI solutions across international markets.

NodeShift has also secured investment through Presight’s venture capital arm, a global AI innovation fund (Presight–Shorooq Fund I) that aims to invest $100 million in the next generation of AI innovation.

As part of NodeShift’s participation in Presight’s inaugural AI Accelerator Program, the company underwent a comprehensive six-month evaluation covering technology readiness, data sovereignty and regulatory compliance, enterprise scalability, and market fit. Following this process, the Presight-Shorooq Fund I made a significant investment in NodeShift, reflecting strong conviction in the company’s technology, leadership team, and long-term growth potential.

This strategic partnership combines Presight’s commercialization capabilities, global enterprise and government relationships, and applied AI expertise with NodeShift’s secure, compliant sovereign AI infrastructure. Together, the companies will pursue joint initiatives which enable organizations to deploy AI solutions that meet stringent data sovereignty, privacy, and regulatory requirements.

“From the very first pitch during the Presight AI Accelerator Program, it was clear the NodeShift team had the vision, capability, and ambition to build something truly differentiated. This partnership and investment underscore the tangible value our accelerator is already delivering — identifying high-potential AI technology and scaling it through real commercial engagement. NodeShift exemplifies what we set out to achieve; accelerating breakthrough sovereign AI technologies and creating meaningful, long-term growth opportunities for all parties.”

– Magzhan Kenesbai, Chief Growth Officer, Presight

Since joining the accelerator, NodeShift has engaged with prospective customers across multiple sectors and is currently delivering a proof of concept with the Central Bank of the UAE, in parallel, the company is in active discussions with additional Presight customers, further demonstrating the platform’s applicability in mission-critical and regulated environments.

“This partnership, alongside the investment from the Presight-Shorooq Fund I, represents a major milestone for NodeShift. Presight’s global reach, sector expertise, and credibility across public and private sectors significantly strengthen our ability to scale, while enabling us to continue delivering AI solutions that meet the highest standards of security and compliance.”

– Mihai Marcuta, Co-Founder and COO, NodeShift
