In a digital economy increasingly defined by speed, flexibility, and global competition, U.S. businesses must rethink traditional software development lifecycles to maintain their market position. Low-code development platforms such as RadSystems Studio have emerged as transformative tools, enabling faster prototyping, reduced time-to-market, and lower technical barriers for startups and enterprises alike. This article explores the role of low-code development in enhancing U.S. technological competitiveness, analyzing its impact on innovation cycles, developer productivity, and business agility. Drawing on real-world case studies and industry research, the findings suggest that low-code adoption can shorten delivery timelines by as much as 50–70%, while also mitigating developer shortages and supporting enterprise digital transformation. However, the study also highlights inherent challenges, including vendor lock-in, scalability limits, and governance issues, offering recommendations for both businesses and policymakers to optimize the benefits of low-code in the U.S. innovation landscape.
