"Our partners play a critical role in helping more people than ever to learn about low-code and access our platform and pre-existing apps. Beyond this, they are also an integral part of our mission to empower people from all backgrounds and all over the world to make their own apps to make the world a better place, thanks to low-code. And we are looking forward to welcoming them alongside our developer community, to come up with novel answers to complex problems."
"At LINKIT, we strongly believe in empowering developers to create impactful solutions that make the world run better," said Cornelis Lemstra, CEO at LINKIT.
