The InnovaTech™ Story

About Us

The INNOVATECH™ GROUP has been operating since 2020. It was formed through a strategic partnership inspired by the growing need for Technology Infrastructure and IT Advancement in South Africa. During a global pandemic and isolation, the sudden growth and demand for online media, entertainment, e-commerce, corporate operations, security, communications, and networking surpassed all expectations. As a result, the world became heavily dependent on technology innovation to solve critical problems for trade and industry. Millions of consumers turned to online systems, e-commerce, social media, and business conference calls just to get through the day.

Ultimately, the isolation ended. However, a new world of technology was just getting started. This new world showed us how much individuals can do online. Whether it was working from home, purchasing goods, streaming content, or even starting a new brand or company, it could all be done from the comfort of one’s living room. Companies and corporations did the same. They created advanced operating systems, networking protocols, communication management, and infrastructure to facilitate a remote workforce. This innovation-driven industry is the very ethos from which INNOVATECH™ was born.

Founded by lifelong friends and business partners who share a passion for technology and innovation, the INNOVATECH™ GROUP aims to strengthen and improve the integration of business technology into everyday lives and work environments. With a perfect blend of creativity and logic, our dynamic team is achieving just that! We offer a comprehensive array of Tech and IT Solutions to private, corporate, and government sectors in South Africa. We also cater to our many international clients. Our company and brand continue to grow from strength to strength, but that was just the beginning…
