What is Power BI?
Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn your data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights.
Your data may be Access, or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises hybrid data warehouses. Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what's important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want.

What is Power Apps?
Power Apps is a suite of apps, services, connectors and data platform that provides a rapid application development environment to build custom apps for your business needs. Using Power Apps, you can quickly build custom business apps that connect to your business data stored either in the underlying data platform (Microsoft Dataverse) or in various online and on-premises data sources (SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server, and so on).
(quoted from
What is

For Access developers, learning Power Apps means expanding their RAD toolbox to include mobile and online environments and devices.
In particular, there is a large market longing for hybrid applications with rich
Access frontend and light Power Apps frontend that share a common
backend.
