Innovex Uganda Limited

Innovex Uganda Limited, trading as Innovex, is a Ugandan technology company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Kampala. It describes itself as aiming to spur Africa's social-economic transformation through the development of novel technologies, with competencies spanning embedded systems, connected devices, web and software development, and wireless communication technologies. Its stated focus is climate-smart technologies for African communities, particularly those without access to grid electricity. Innovex operates three main lines of business. The first is remote energy monitoring through REMOT, an IoT cloud-based platform that lets organizations and businesses monitor, manage and control distributed solar and equipment installations in real time — from solar home systems to productive-use deployments. The second is electronics manufacturing: the company has set up a local SMT (surface-mount technology) and plastics manufacturing facility and runs a contract manufacturing and repair business for clients in renewable energy, mobility, logistics and agriculture. The third is engineering services, through which Innovex collaborates with organizations and businesses on hardware and software product development, producing electronics to client specifications with quick turnaround. The company designs, manufactures and supports its products from Kampala while partnering with operators across the continent. Its website reports impact across 12 countries, 65 active partners and more than 10 years of operating experience, and cites outcomes such as 300,000 students in schools powered by solar energy, 400,000 patients visiting solar-powered hospitals per month, 210 farmers using solar-powered water pumps, 360 jobs created in businesses powered by solar, and 1,500 beneficiaries in households. Innovex has received recognition including a 2018 Mandela Washington Fellowship, the 2018 CISCO Global Challenge Solver award, the 2020 Africa Prize for Engineering, a 2020 Africa Blockchain Conference pitch win, a 2021 World Energy Day award, and the 2022 Youth Ecopreneurs Award from the International Trade Centre. In 2024 the company announced it had secured nearly $380,000 in grants and a $22,000 loan to scale operations, and in 2025 it announced a partnership with ENNOS to expand sustainable water access in Africa. It is a private company and remains active.

Innovex was founded in 2015 as a Ugandan technology company with the stated aim of spurring Africa's social-economic transformation through the development of novel technologies. From its base in Kampala, it built competencies in embedded systems, connected devices, web and software development, and wireless communication technologies, and focused its work on climate-smart technologies for African communities, particularly those without grid electricity access. Over its first decade the company developed three lines of business. Its REMOT platform grew into an IoT cloud-based system used by organizations and businesses to operate and maintain solar and equipment installations effectively, providing real-time monitoring, management and control of distributed assets from solar home systems to productive-use deployments. Innovex also established a local SMT and plastics manufacturing facility and a contract manufacturing business line serving local and global clientele in renewable energy, mobility, logistics and agriculture, alongside an engineering services practice for hardware and software product development. The company's work has been recognized through a series of awards and programs: a 2018 Mandela Washington Fellowship, the 2018 CISCO Global Challenge Solver award, the 2020 Africa Prize for Engineering, a 2020 Africa Blockchain Conference pitch win, a 2021 World Energy Day award, and the 2022 Youth Ecopreneurs Award from the International Trade Centre. By the mid-2020s Innovex reported impact across 12 countries with 65 active partners and more than 10 years of operating experience, citing outcomes including 300,000 students in solar-powered schools, 400,000 patients visiting solar-powered hospitals per month, 210 farmers using solar-powered water pumps, 360 jobs created in solar-powered businesses, and 1,500 household beneficiaries. In August 2024 the company announced it had secured nearly $380,000 in grants and a $22,000 loan to scale operations. In November 2024 it highlighted its work shaping sustainable futures through renewable energy and the REMOT platform, and in April 2025 it announced a partnership with ENNOS to expand sustainable water access in Africa. Innovex remains a private, active Ugandan company designing, manufacturing and supporting its products from Kampala for partners across the continent.
