Innovex featured in a leading Belgian newspaper
A profile in one of Belgium's largest dailies highlights Innovex's journey from student-led prototype to a manufacturing-led African tech company.
A leading Belgian daily ran a feature on Innovex this week, tracing the company's journey from a student dorm-room prototype in Uganda to a manufacturing-led tech firm exporting hardware and SaaS across the continent.
The piece focuses on the founder's path — the moment as a student when he "couldn't wait to invent, build and sell technology himself" — and on the broader question of what local production looks like for a continent that has historically been positioned as a market rather than a maker.
Highlights from the article
- The founding story of Innovex and its mission to spur Africa's social-economic transformation through novel technologies.
- The role of the REMOT platform in helping off-grid solar operators run cleaner, more reliable installations.
- A look inside the Kampala manufacturing facility, where SMT lines and plastics tooling produce the company's own products and contract jobs for partners across renewables, mobility and agriculture.
It's a good reminder that "African tech" stories don't have to begin and end with apps. There's a quiet, unglamorous, hugely important layer below the apps — the chips, the boards, the cables, the firmware — and someone has to build it. We're glad to be a small part of that.
