Presight LifeSaver equips governments and emergency responders with the foresight, tools, and agility to manage complexity and build long-term resilience. Presight LifeSaver is the embodiment of our Applied Intelligence philosophy - AI that doesn't just predict or analyze, but acts today. We've built a platform that transforms data to enable immediate, meaningful decisions, where the outcome is measured in lives saved, and crises averted.'
Key capabilities of Presight LifeSaver include:
Emergency call center integration: Combines phone, mobile app, and SMS channels into one system. AI is used to assess emergency severity and automatically dispatch the nearest available response teams using GPS.
Ambulance and medical operations: Recommends the best ambulance and hospital based on real-time availability and patient needs. Tracks patient care from the scene to the hospital using electronic records (Electronic Patient Care Reporting) and RFID wristbands.
AI-powered Response & Unified Command Console: Provides a single platform for coordinating police, ambulance, fire services, and first responders. Allocates resources in real time and simulates potential scenarios to stay ahead of unfolding emergencies.
Recovery & Post-Event Analysis: Automatically generates reports after incidents, assesses damage and losses, and offers recommendations to strengthen future crisis preparedness.
With its secure multi-cloud infrastructure, Presight LifeSaver integrates edge devices like drones, IoT sensors, and real-time video feeds to deliver situational awareness with unmatched depth and clarity. The platform also features a low/no-code developer console, empowering agencies, third-party developers, and integrators to create custom mini-apps and dashboards, all under a robust governance framework.
According to the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2025, extreme weather events are some of the most severe risks over the next 10 years, highlighting the critical role that AI-powered platforms such as Presight LifeSaver play in building resilience and safeguarding lives.
Presight LifeSaver empowers cities, nations, and institutions to respond more smartly and scale faster. Whether deployed in densely populated urban hubs or remote disaster-prone regions, the platform brings AI-driven coordination to the forefront of crisis response.

Regenerative farming takes root in South Africa as demand for sustainable exports grows
As global buyers tighten sustainability standards, South African farmers are starting to adopt regenerative farming practices at a growing pace — particularly those focused on export crops. Source: Freepik Regenerative farming works with natural processes to restore soil health, reduce chemical use, and increase resilience to climate shocks. The World Economic Forum reports that transitioning just 40% of global cropland to regenerative agriculture could cut 600 million tons of emissions — equivalent to the footprint of a small country. Arno Abeln, managing director at Agrimark, says the shift is gaining momentum in South Africa, though the pace varies by sector. "We're seeing major investment in these practices among wine, citrus and table grape producers, also in apple and pear production, because export markets are demanding it. It's less advanced in the grain sector, but we're starting to see more interest as producers explore ways to improve soil health over the long term," says Abeln. Export-facing crops lead the shift Abeln believes South Africa's lack of government farming subsidies means local producers have had to adapt faster and smarter. "South African farmers don't benefit from the government subsidies common in other countries. They've had to find innovative and efficient ways to farm to stay viable. Regenerative practices together with precision agriculture are playing a bigger role, especially as export markets adopt stricter sustainability standards." In the Swartland region, principles like crop rotation and integrated grazing have been used for years — helping maintain soil health naturally. "A farmer might plant 500 hectares of wheat one year, followed by canola the next, each crop nourishing the soil differently. After harvesting, sheep graze the fields, naturally fertilising the land. It's a holistic system — and a scientific one." Younger farmers driving mindset shift A generational shift is also driving the uptake of regenerative practices. "There's definitely a long-term view emerging – especially around soil health and resilience," says Abeln. "And with better soil health, you often see the potential for better yields and cost efficiencies too." International studies suggest input costs could drop by 25-50% over time for farmers who move away from synthetic fertilisers and pesticides. Data, not guesswork, key to long-term soil health Abeln says modern farming requires science-backed decisions, not habit-based practices. "Many farmers are still using the same fertiliser mix they relied on ten years ago. We help them move to smarter, insight-driven decisions that can improve yield and profitability." Agrimark, a national agricultural retailer, works with suppliers, plant diagnostics specialists and input providers to support this shift. "It's about replacing guesswork with data. When a farmer faces an issue, we don't just sell a product; we work with him on-site to understand the problem and coordinate the right expertise." "In some regions, like parts of the Northern Cape, soil degradation is a real risk. If we want to keep farming and feeding people, we have to prioritise soil health." All rights reserved. © 2022.

Manipal Academy of Higher Education launches BA (Honours) Liberal Arts Program
Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) Dubai proudly announces the launch of its groundbreaking BA (Honours) Liberal Arts program at the Manipal Institute of Liberal Arts (MILA), responding to evolving global workforce demands and reinforcing Dubai's position as a premier international education hub. This innovative program, with admissions open for September 2025, marks a strategic advancement in higher education for the region. The BA (Honours) Liberal Arts program introduces a flexible major-minor framework designed to meet the World Economic Forum's 2025 Future of Jobs report findings, which reveals that 39% of current skills will become obsolete by 2030, while analytical thinking is considered essential by 70% of employers. The program begins with a comprehensive liberal arts foundation year emphasizing independent critical thinking and interdisciplinary learning, followed by three specialized pathways from the second year: the Explorer option (1 Major + 1 Minor), the Innovator pathway (1 Major + 2 Minors), and the Consolidator track (2 Majors). Current academic offerings include majors in Sociology, English, Psychology, Mass Communication, and Filmmaking, with minors in Gender Studies, Journalism, Geopolitics, Arabic, and French. Students engage in extra-disciplinary coursework each semester covering digital literacy, public policy, and creativity, while high-performing students can pursue a fourth-year Honours research track leading to original knowledge creation. 'This innovative Liberal Arts program represents our commitment to preparing graduates for the future of work,' said Prof. Elsa Ashish Thomas, Chairperson of the Manipal Institute of Liberal Arts at MAHE Dubai campus. 'As the World Economic Forum emphasizes analytical thinking, creativity, and adaptability as the most sought-after skills, our program uniquely positions students to thrive in an economy where 78 million new jobs are expected to be created by 2030, while traditional roles are being transformed by technological advancement.' The program launches against the backdrop of unprecedented growth in Dubai's higher education sector, with student enrollment surging by 20% in the 2024-25 academic year to reach a record 42,026 students across 41 institutions. International student numbers have jumped 29% and now represent 35% of the total student body, reflecting Dubai's emergence as a global education hub. The city targets 50% international student enrollment by 2033 under the Education 33 strategy. The liberal arts program directly addresses employment market trends, with recent Federal Reserve data revealing art history graduates experiencing just 3% unemployment, while philosophy majors face 3.2% unemployment, significantly outperforming many STEM fields. The four-year Honours structure allows students to develop expertise across multiple disciplines while maintaining depth in their chosen specializations, with an optional 8-week internship between Semesters 4 and 5 providing valuable real-world experience. The curriculum prepares graduates for careers in media, publishing, and content creation; social development and policy research; HR, PR, and corporate communication; academic research and postgraduate study; and counselling and applied psychology. The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 identifies analytical thinking, technological literacy, creative problem-solving, and adaptability as key skills, all of which are core outcomes of liberal arts education. The program's design directly responds to the World Economic Forum's identification of critical business skills for 2025–2030, including analytical thinking (considered essential by 69% of employers), creative problem-solving (a key skill with 57% of employers recognizing its importance), and strategic communication (ranked as the most in-demand skill across industries) – competencies that are fundamentally strengthened through the interdisciplinary nature of liberal arts education. MAHE Dubai Campus has recently been licensed by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and is currently undergoing CAA accreditation. These developments come at a time when interdisciplinary learning is increasingly being recognised as a key pillar of modern higher education. The program builds on MAHE Dubai's longstanding emphasis on strong faculty mentorship and academic freedom, evolving these strengths into a curriculum that is interdisciplinary, globally aligned, and future-focused. With its flexible structure, industry connections, and commitment to academic excellence, the BA (Honours) Liberal Arts program sets a new benchmark for liberal arts education in the Middle East.
