Presight, a global leader in applied AI for intelligent systems, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Almaty to support the development of next-generation urban infrastructure and accelerate the city’s Digital Transformation.
The agreement, signed by Thomas Pramotedham, Chief Executive Officer of Presight, and Darkhan Satybaldy, Mayor (Akim) of Almaty, establishes a structured framework for collaboration focused on designing and deploying intelligent systems across the city’s core infrastructure.
“This partnership opens up new opportunities to further develop Almaty as a modern and technologically advanced metropolis,” said Darkhan Satybaldy, Mayor of Almaty. “The adoption of AI-based solutions will enhance the efficiency of urban management and improve the quality of life for residents.”
“Our work in Kazakhstan reflects a long-term commitment to building intelligent systems at national and city scale,” said Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight. “In Almaty, we are moving beyond digitalisation towards integrated urban infrastructure, anchored by sovereign AI capabilities, including a data centre designed to power real-time city operations. This is about creating a unified operating layer for the city, where intelligence is embedded directly into how systems function.”
Under the MOU, Presight and the City of Almaty will define a joint roadmap to design and implement intelligent urban systems, including system architecture, feasibility assessments and deployment models required for scaled execution.
The collaboration will explore the deployment of integrated solutions across urban mobility, public safety and municipal services. This includes intelligent transport systems, digital platforms for public services and the development of real-time city management and situational command centres powered by data and AI.
