Low-code and AI – two of the strongest forces shaping digital transformation – are even more powerful together.
This was the core message from Terho Antila, CTO and Microsoft MVP at Locoda, during his keynote at HARVEST 2025, where business leaders and innovators gathered to explore how to thrive amid uncertainty.
Low-code and AI are changing the way organizations innovate
Companies today are searching for tangible business value from AI — not just experimentation, but real impact. Low-code platforms, like Microsoft Power Platform, offer the bridge between strategy and execution. They empower both developers and business teams to bring AI into everyday operations quickly, safely, and without heavy IT processes.
“Low-code enables organizations to bring AI into action – safely, quickly, and
at scale.” – Terho Antila, CTO, Locoda

Organizations must encourage employees to embrace AI — not only in large-scale projects but in everyday improvements.
agents. Low-code platforms make it possible to integrate these agents
seamlessly into workflows and decision-making.
3. A secure and scalable foundation.
Power Platform unifies data, automation, and applications into one environment — enabling AI-driven innovation with governance and control.
Power Platform – bridging ideas and execution
Power Platform is approachable for business users yet powerful for
developers. It provides the tools to connect AI, data, and automation into real, measurable business outcomes.
For many organizations, it’s becoming the cornerstone of their AI transformation — turning ideas into reality and creating visible value faster than ever before.
Becoming a frontier firm
As Terho Antila summarized in his talk:
“If you want to become a frontier firm – one that leads, not follows – you need to create a culture that supports AI experimentation and have a platform that enables it.”
Organizations that start building and experimenting with AI now will define
the next wave of innovation. Low-code accelerates that journey — and AI amplifies its impact.

The HARVEST 2025 event brought together bold thinkers, innovators, and business leaders to explore what it truly means to thrive in uncertainty.
Surrounded by inspiring people and great conversations (and a surprising number of pears!), one clear takeaway emerged: Even in uncertain times, it’s the courage to experiment, adapt, and renew that separates the leaders from the followers.
And as was echoed throughout the day, AI is not just technology – it’s a mindset and an enabler that reshapes how businesses operate and create value.
