Presight, a leading global AI and big data analytics company, has signed a landmark agreement with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Albania to implement an AI-powered smart nation programme.
This programme will deliver next-generation smart city infrastructure across 20 cities and 28 international border points nationwide. The programme reinforces Albania’s commitment to accelerating digital transformation and positioning the country among Europe’s most technology-driven nations.
Under the newly formalised agreement, Presight will deploy an integrated AI-powered smart city platform designed to digitalise, optimise, and coordinate essential public services. The initiative includes real-time operations management, enhanced mobility and traffic systems, improved emergency response coordination, and a next-generation command-and-control framework that supports stronger institutional capability and community well-being.
Albania’s Minister of Internal Affairs highlighted the strategic significance of this national infrastructure program. She stated, “This represents a long-term investment in the safety, resilience, and modernisation of Albania’s cities. By partnering with Presight, we leverage world-class AI expertise to enhance public services and improve the daily experiences of our citizens. This program is a testament to our commitment to responsible innovation and ambitions to position Albania as a leader in advanced technology applications in the region.”

We are honoured to be the AI partner of choice in delivering this vital infrastructure. The initiative promises to enhance public services, mobility, and overall quality of life for our citizens. Presight is dedicated to supporting Albania’s digital future through responsible and impactful technology solutions.”
This programme underscores the government’s commitment to enhancing critical infrastructure and ensuring that communities across the country benefit from more connected and future-ready environments. The deployment is designed to digitalise critical national infrastructure, integrate AI into government decision-making, introduce greater efficiency across public services, reduce congestion, strengthen emergency response preparedness, and create long-term improvements in national digital capability.
The programme further highlights the strength of UAE-Albania relations. With this smart nation programme, Albania will become a model smart nation, demonstrating how AI can be responsibly applied at a national scale to deliver lasting benefits for institutions and citizens.
