EcoFlow Power Kits Provide Power When You Need It Most
The compact and modular power packs are perfect for leisure use, but will also provide vital electricity during power outages.
EcoFlow, the company that created the world’s first eco-friendly portable power generators, has announced the official arrival of its products in the Middle East, and is preparing to team up with local dealers.
So what are EcoFlow’s products all about, and what makes them so useful? Put simply, the plug-and-play power stations are large, portable battery banks — think of them as a scaled-up version of the portable USB backup batteries available for phones and laptops.
EcoFlow Power Kits feature large lithium-ion batteries, with base capacities of 2KWh, with expansion modules available to boost that to 15KWh. However, unlike smaller smartphone batteries, EcoFlow’s solutions act more like a traditional petrol generator — except far cleaner and quieter — as they feature built-in inverters that will easily cope with the power demands of fridge freezers, right up to (depending upon model) an entire house or apartment.
As well as recreation-focused portable power packs, the company also produces a wide range of products to enable households to survive off-grid — or at least smooth out patchy mains supplies — an especially useful feature in countries such as Lebanon, where people often encounter severe delivery issues due to the lack of a government-provided power supply.

The modular components are designed for permanent installation, and include an AC/DC Smart Distribution Panel, Power Kit Console and various add-ons, including solar panels. Unlike building a traditional system of this type, EcoFlow’s kits are inherently safe, as they require zero custom wiring.
The idea of smart living has become a significant trend of late, and the number of smart homes is predicted to surpass 350 million by 2023. Ecoflow is well positioned to take advantage of that shift, with a range of products that allow users to build a fully connected, energy-efficient home with off-grid capabilities.

Rabbit Expands Hyperlocal Delivery Service In Saudi Arabia
The e-commerce startup is aiming to tap into the Kingdom’s underdeveloped e-grocery sector with a tech-first, locally rooted strategy.
Rabbit, an Egyptian-born hyperlocal e-commerce startup, is expanding into the Saudi Arabian market, setting its sights on delivering 20 million items across major cities by 2026.
The company, founded in 2021, is already operational in the Kingdom, with its regional headquarters now open in Riyadh and an established network of strategically located fulfillment centers — commonly known as “dark stores” — across the capital.
The timing is strategic: Saudi Arabia’s online grocery transactions currently sit at 1.3%, notably behind the UAE (5.3%) and the United States (4.8%). With the Kingdom’s food and grocery market estimated at $60 billion, even a modest increase in online adoption could create a multi-billion-dollar opportunity.
Rabbit also sees a clear alignment between its business goals and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to boost retail sector innovation, support small and medium-sized enterprises, attract foreign investment, and develop a robust digital economy.
The company’s e-commerce model is based on speed and efficiency. Delivery of anything from groceries and snacks to cosmetics and household staples is promised in 20 minutes or less, facilitated by a tightly optimized logistics system — a crucial component in a sector where profit margins and delivery expectations are razor-thin.
Despite the challenges, Rabbit has already found its stride in Egypt. In just over three years, the app has been used by 1.4 million customers to deliver more than 40 million items. Revenue has surged, growing more than eightfold in the past two years alone.

CEO and Co-Founder Ahmad Yousry commented: “We are delighted to announce Rabbit’s expansion into the Kingdom. We pride ourselves on being a hyperlocal company, bringing our bleeding-edge tech and experience to transform the grocery shopping experience for Saudi households, and delivering the best products – especially local favorites, in just 20 minutes”.
The company’s growth strategy avoids the pitfalls of over-reliance on aggressive discounting. Instead, Rabbit leans on operational efficiency, customer retention, and smart scaling. The approach is paying off, having already attracted major investment from the likes of Lorax Capital Partners, Global Ventures, Raed Ventures, and Beltone Venture Capital, alongside earlier investors such as Global Founders Capital, Goodwater Capital, and Hub71.
