Low-Code Revolution: Building Custom Apps for MENA Businesses in 48 Hours

How Microsoft Power Platform is transforming the way companies in MENA Region and Egypt build applications fast.

In today’s competitive landscape, speed is no longer a luxury, it’s a requirement. From Cairo to Riyadh and Dubai, businesses across the MENA region are seeking faster, more agile ways to build digital solutions tailored to their needs. Enter the low-code revolution.

According to a 2024 Gartner report, over 70% of new applications developed by enterprises will use low-code or no-code platforms by 2026. That number is already taking shape here in the Middle East, with Microsoft’s Power Platform leading the charge.

What is Low-Code and Why Should You Care?

Low-code platforms allow you to create apps and workflows with minimal hand-coding. Instead of building everything from scratch, users can leverage pre-built components, drag-and-drop tools, and ready-to-integrate data connectors.

Key benefits for MENA businesses:

Speed: Build, test, and deploy apps in as little as 48 hours.
Cost-efficiency: Reduce development costs and IT backlogs.
Localization: Easily customize solutions to match regional languages, currencies, and regulations.
Scalability: Start small, scale across departments, branches, or even countries.
