Flowwow Reveals AI-Powered Rebrand, Blending Tech With Emotion
The new look includes a redesigned logo, AI-driven visuals, and upgraded packaging, reflecting aims for further expansion.
Flowwow, a UAE-based gifting marketplace that partners with local shops in more than 30 countries, has introduced a refreshed brand identity, built by merging artificial intelligence with human creativity. The rebranding includes a redesigned logo, AI-driven visuals, and upgraded packaging, reflecting the company’s evolving position in the gifting sector.
Flowwow’s CEO and Co-founder, Slava Bogdan, explained: “From our roots as a flower delivery service, Flowwow has evolved into a marketplace for gifts and emotions in over 30 countries. [Our] strategic vision has become the cornerstone of our rebranding. Flowwow remains the platform that blends the best of both worlds: the personal touch of local entrepreneurs and the convenience of cutting-edge technology. We’ve redefined the gifting experience, making it effortless, enjoyable, and truly personal”.
The company has utilized AI to break away from conventional design limitations, resulting in a more dynamic and engaging brand presence. By leveraging Midjourney’s neural networks, Flowwow generated thousands of images to assist designers in ideating the new identity, accelerating the creative process by up to 20%.
As part of its rebranding, Flowwow aims to expand into a full-service global gifting platform, offering both innovation and convenience. Recognizing the potential of e-gifting in the MENA region, Flowwow is planning to onboard additional local vendors while expanding product lines to over 25 categories to suit regional preferences, including pastries, indoor plants, fragrances, hamper boxes, and home decor.

The company is also committed to supporting local businesses, working with SMEs to drive economic growth in the MENA region’s burgeoning e-commerce sector. Research indicates that the UAE’s gifting market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% through 2029, while the overall e-commerce market will rise by 8.63% annually, reaching $10.56 billion by the same year.
Flowwow aims to capitalize on this growth by expanding further into the MENA region and further afield by 2024-2025.

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.
