OUR STORY
Built to deliver since 2017
Govtek Technologies was founded in 2017 to bring practical EdTech to South Africa's higher education sector.
Since then, we have built deep experience in ICT hardware sales and leasing, and we work with leading OEMs to give institutions solutions that are innovative and cost-effective.
Today we supply end-user devices, peripherals, servers, storage and security infrastructure, with logistics support to get it all where it needs to be.
Our leasing and Device-as-a-Service options spread the cost, make hardware swap-outs quick, and include asset tracking and management.
For education, we add Kortext's e-resource platform and Honorlock's AI-driven online invigilation.
We are 100% Black women-owned and B-BBEE Level 1.
