As the Middle East accelerates its digital transformation, low-code and no-code platforms are emerging as critical tools for modernization. At GITEX 2025, Nintex showcased its platforms as a vital enabler for governments and enterprises across the region. These platforms allow organizations—from federal agencies to banks and telecoms—to develop internal workflows and customer-facing applications in hours rather than months. This rapid development capability is particularly valuable in countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia, where digital transformation is a cornerstone of national strategy. Initiatives such as ‘zero tax, zero bureaucracy’ and AI-first citizen services demand agile, scalable solutions, which low-code platforms effectively provide. One of the significant challenges in deploying AI is fragmented data. Nintex addresses this by automating processes that unify information across systems, creating a robust foundation for AI-driven insights. Samir Akel, VP of Nintex, emphasized the importance of operational readiness, urging businesses to transition from manual to measurable workflows. ‘Leaders across the region want measurable AI results this quarter,’ Akel stated. ‘If your processes are broken, your AI will be too.’ Akel highlighted the Middle East’s potential for rapid AI growth, with IDC forecasting AI spending in the META region to reach $7.2 billion by 2026. However, he cautioned that without mature processes and clean data, AI efforts may fall short. Nintex is also addressing concerns around data sovereignty. While global trends once favored cloud-first strategies, the company notes a resurgence in on-premise deployments, particularly in the Middle East, where security and control are paramount. Nintex’s platform supports both cloud and on-premise models, offering flexibility based on regulatory and operational needs. Looking ahead, Nintex is advancing into ‘agentic business orchestration,’ where AI not only supports workflows but also generates them. This vision includes AI engines that can suggest e-forms, recommend process flows, and integrate seamlessly across government authorities to deliver unified citizen services. With over two decades of partnerships in the region, including collaborations with the UAE’s Federal Tax Authority and Khalifa University, Nintex is positioning itself as a key player in the Middle East’s digital future, bridging legacy infrastructure with next-generation automation and AI.
