Neo Hutiri

Entrepreneur in Johannesburg, South Africa

Engineer by profession turned Entrepreneur by choice chasing Purpose, Meaning and a Paycheque.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cape Town and also have a Masters in Engineering (Industrial) from the University of Witwatersrand. After my undergraduate degree, I joined a steel manufacturing company as an automation engineer. I then took up an operations management role working as the technical assistant to the COO for ArcelorMittal SA before venturing out into the technology startup scene in Johannesburg.

Technovera is a technology startup company focused in the healthcare sector. We are currently developing a healthcare device that reduces the waiting time for patients collecting chronic medication at primary healthcare facilities in South Africa.The device helps patients collect their chronic medication quickly and avoid the long queues.

I am always up for a challenge and heavily invested in the development and adoption of smart technologies in the African healthcare industry. Africa is a continent with some really interesting challenges, this makes it the most fertile ground for impactful social entrepreneurship. My passion for the impact of technology keeps me hungry and in search for new ways of thinking.

I am of the notion that the world is round and stuff happens. I live to love, enjoy, get challenged, learn, have fun, experience great music and find a way to create impact. I personally believe that we exist to promote and cultivate a giving culture.
