The company was honoured with the Trailblazer of the Year award, recognising its exceptional contributions to data-driven innovation through IoT devices, software platforms, and visionary leadership.

Khoi Tech has redefined itself from being device and hardware focused to a technology solution provider for companies, organisations and sports teams.

Khoi Tech’s proprietary platform integrates multiple wearable IoT devices, including its health& fitness smartwatch Khoi Afriwatch1 to provide scientific data solutions in the health & wellness sector as well as for sports teams. The platform provides actionable insights that enhance early alerts health, wellness, and performance with a focus on the sports and health sectors.

“We are grateful to Telkom for recognizing our strategic approach that differentiates Khoi Tech in the competitive tech sector where we compete against multinational entities with big budgets.” says Khoi Tech’s founder and CEO, Seati Moloi.  “We realised very early in the business that we are not in the business of devices but rather that of data and had to pivot and spent the past few years remodeling the business and developing software platforms that integrate data from our IoT devices.”

Telkom rewarded Khoi Tech with an award and a R100 000 cash prize in recognition of its technological and commercial innovation, entrepreneurial excellence and creating ground breaking technology products and services that have significantly increased market share.

This vision is vividly embodied in the company’s latest innovation, the Khoi Afripods1 True Wireless Earphones. This groundbreaking wearable technology seamlessly merges advanced functionality with African-inspired aesthetic design. Beyond enhancing user experience, the Afripods1 reflect Khoi Tech’s mission to honour the African identity while pushing the boundaries of global innovation.

Khoi Tech’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of innovation and cultural pride. As the company continues to push boundaries, it remains steadfast in its mission to develop and deliver technology that empowers, inspires, and celebrates Africa.
