Presight AI Holding Ltd (Presight), a G42 company, the leading UAE-based Big Data Analytics and AI company, and TOTM Technologies Limited (TOTM) have announced plans to establish a joint venture [via their wholly-owned subsidiaries] for the development and deployment of their combined proprietary technologies, marking a deepening collaboration between the ADX-listed tech provider and Singapore’s home-grown, SGX-ST Catalist-board listed biometrics and Digital ID solutions provider.
The agreement was signed today by Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight and Pierre Prunier, CEO & Executive Director of TOTM at Gitex 2023 in the presence of Kamal R. Vaswani, Singapore’s Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates.
The joint venture agreement will establish an entity that will leverage Presight’s Big Data AI and Data Analytics capabilities to enable the scale-up deployment of TOTM’s Digital Identity products and solutions on cloud and on-demand. This will allow governments and enterprises to transform mission-critical infrastructure with intelligent new solutions that are data-driven, further opening new ways of working, operating and doing business with biometrics-driven Digital Identity.
For national governments who are transitioning to, or looking to implement national digital identity programs, the Presight x TOTM joint venture entity offers a public-private approach which turns national digital identity from a cost centre to a profit centre, enabling revenue-generating digital transformation at the national level.
The Presight x TOTM joint venture entity aims to provide open-standards and off-the-shelf technologies which minimises and reduces vendor lock-in, burdensome maintenance costs, and hinder interoperability to establish a future-proof foundation and propel national digital transformation at the national level, particularly in Middle East, Africa and South-East Asia markets.
The digital transformation includes disrupting traditional industries by leveraging hardware-less e-KYC authentication, and building new digital systems and frameworks that may not require an internet connection for the deployment of contactless biometric authentication to unlock the power of a digital identity, secured with real-time liveness detection and supported with age classification.
Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight said, "We are excited to partner with TOTM to develop, integrate and deploy biometric AI solutions in the public safety, healthcare and fintech sectors in the Middle East, Africa and South-East Asia regions.
Pierre Prunier, CEO & Executive Director of TOTM said ‘’We are immensely proud to be announcing this joint venture with Presight, which is a significant milestone in TOTM’s journey as we lead the way with our unique approach which makes it easy for countries to make the transition to digital-first national ID systems through the adoption of the Public-Private-Partnership model.
