02About

Built where it's used. Owned by Africa.

Internet of Kaps (IOK) is a University of Zimbabwe Innovation Hub start-up, founded in 2021 under the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education's mandate to drive industrialisation through innovation. The University of Zimbabwe is a proud shareholder.

We specialise in IoT — with our flagship being a locally-developed GPS asset tracking platform engineered for real-world African conditions: patchy networks, harsh terrain, long routes, and operators who need their data to stay in country.

Beyond tracking, we deliver custom software, network infrastructure, and managed IT services for businesses and government. And we're building the first locally-assembled AI drone platform on the continent — launching at VivaTech 2026.

06Why IOK

Four advantages foreign vendors can't replicate.

01

Data Sovereignty

Every byte of customer telemetry is hosted inside Zimbabwe. Compliance, low latency, and full jurisdictional control by default.

In-country infrastructure
02

Open-Source Core

Full customisation, zero vendor lock-in. Where DJI, Verizon Connect and Geotab sell black boxes, we sell open systems clients can extend.

Open API · Open hardware
03

IP Protected

Two provisional patents filed in Zimbabwe covering our tracking and AI surveillance methods, securing our long-term position.
