Why Should You Work With a Tech Firm from Palestine?

Working with tech companies from the Palestinian Territory can provide you with several perks, including:

• Cost-effective services: Palestinian tech firms offer not only affordable prices but also high-quality tech expertise that is lower than in Western Europe or North America. Additionally, it gives the possibility to access senior-level talent for a fraction of the cost. Collaborating with firms from this region can provide a high return on investment (ROI) due to the accessible prices and high performance.  
• Robust educational system: Annually, there are about 2,500 IT graduates from institutions such as the Arab American University, An-Najah National University, and Birzeit University that play an important role in the tech talent flow. The benefits of this educational basis extend beyond the educational facilities. The technological landscape is supported by a robust ecosystem of startup incubators and R&D hubs designed to foster creative solutions. Universities facilitate students and recent graduates to participate in R&D projects and apply theoretical knowledge in practice. 
• High-skilled talent: Due to the political instability in the country, many tech professionals relocated online. Organisations like Gaza Sky Geeks have offered professionals with technical training and support. They must provide high-quality services rather than low prices. Collaborations between Universities and research institutions also facilitate students and graduates to have internships and upgrade their skills. IT professionals from this region are strong in Python, Data Science, Web Development, AI, and UX Design. 

What You Should Be Aware of When Working With Companies from Palestine?

Collaborating with a tech company from Palestine involves a set of benefits and some possible challenges influenced by the country's political situation. Among the risks are connectivity issues due to the damage the telecommunication infrastructure has faced, with many regions having access to only 3G, rarely 4G or 5G. There are regular power shortages that make the work operations harder. Financial and transactional risks are another potential issue, including payment delays, fiscal strain, and currency fluctuations. 

Are IT Companies from Palestine Reliable?

The reliability of tech companies in Palestine is influenced by a mix of a highly qualified workforce with a robust education and the ongoing conflict in this region. Organizations that collaborate with companies from this country report a high return on investment because Palestinian developers are often trained by global accelerators, like Gaza Sky Geeks, that work with mentors from Google and Microsoft. Many professionals are working remotely or freelance, making it easier to collaborate and the employment process. If you are looking for high-quality IT services, Palestinian IT companies can offer reliable solutions for your projects. 

How is Palestine’s IT industry Related to Neighboring Countries?

Due to the ongoing conflict with one of the neighboring countries, the tech talent from Palestine often relocates to the Gulf (UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia). Many local firms act as back-office Developers for companies in Dubai and Riyadh. In 2024, Palestinian startups had a growing presence at major events like the GITEX in Dubai, using these platforms to pitch to global venture capital. Jordan is an important logistical partner for the tech sector in Palestine, thanks to its proximity and shared language. Many payments and banking operations are made through Jordan. Programs like the Talent Acceleration Platform (TAP) connect graduates from Palestine with Jordanian hiring companies.

Mobile app development is the process of creating mobile apps for popular mobile operating systems like Android and iOS. 

There are about 7 billion smartphones worldwide, meaning that more than 85% of the world’s population has a mobile device at their disposal to perform various tasks online or offline.

Do Businesses Need Mobile Apps? The Answer is Obvious

Users are currently browsing and using different platforms and channels (AI chatbots, search engines, social media, email, etc.) to make a decision and ultimately purchase a product/service. Mobile devices became a significant part of their lives, so businesses need to adapt and deliver solutions for different kinds of devices and operating systems.

At minimum, businesses would need to offer a mobile app listed on Play Market (for Android) or App Store (for iOS), or offer a mobile first user experience on their websites.

The reality is that more than half of the companies don’t have a mobile app yet, or are just planning to develop one.

According to the latest survey on mobile apps conducted by TechBehmoths, 62% of businesses don’t have a mobile app and don’t plan to develop one, while around 19% of businesses don’t have one, but are planning to create one in the future, and 30% of businesses have a mobile app.

Of those firms that have one, the most popular mobile application types are the following:

• Cross-platforms mobile apps - when mobile apps are coded once and compatible with multiple mobile operating systems like Android and iOS

• Native apps - when mobile apps are specifically created for iOS, Android or any other mobile operating system

• PWA (progressive web apps) - these are web applications that provide a mobile app like experience on web browsers (desktop or mobile)

Companies can benefit from mobile apps in multiple ways. Here are the main advantages:

• Customer acquisition - there are billions of smartphone users worldwide, so it’s essential to reach your customers on the devices they use

• Revenue growth - mobile apps provide an extra channel to grow your revenue. With the rise of mobile banking, payments and transactions are not happening solely on desktops devices anymore. Digital commerce spend is expected to reach around $34 Trillion by 2029 (source)

• Brand visibility - mobile apps offer a consistent channel for brand awareness and marketing

• Internal operations - some companies choose the convenience of mobile apps to run internal operations like education, onboarding, HR, logs/checks, etc.

• Customer service - serving customers via mobile apps might be the fastest and most efficient way to keep them happy

• Customer retention - mobile app push notifications is possibly the fastest way to keep clients engaged and offer promotions

• Availability - mobile apps are there for users 24/7

Having a website might not be enough to acquire new customers and serve existing ones. Today's reality is that pretty much everyone is online and using a smartphone device for both entertainment and work.

Mobile apps will inevitably become a priority for most businesses in the next couple of years.

Companies have the option to build mobile apps in house or hire mobile app development providers. For less complex projects, low-code or no-code app tools might be worth considering.

If you have a mobile app project and don’t know where to start, or have an established business and need to expand by launching a mobile app, TechBehmoths offers an easy and straightforward Project Submission tool.

Simply include the requirements of your project and our system will match it with the most appropriate mobile app development companies. You will then receive curated quotes, and be able to shortlist/get in touch with the right companies to execute your projects.
