Libreville-based telematics and fleet management startup POZI has raised €650,000 (US$755,000) in funding, a landmark deal and the first Gabonese tech startup to secure international venture capital investment.

The round was led by Saviu Ventures, with participation from Emsy Capital and advisory support from Chazai Wamba, underscoring growing investor confidence in Central Africa’s emerging tech ecosystem.

From Fleet Tracking to Intelligent Mobility

Founded in 2020, POZI has built a data-driven fleet management platform that integrates AI-powered analytics for predictive maintenance, real-time performance monitoring, and risk management. Its technology helps transport operators, insurers, and logistics firms cut costs, boost safety, and improve operational transparency.

With over 2,500 connected vehicles to date, POZI is redefining what telematics means in Africa — not just tracking vehicles, but enabling smart mobility tailored to the continent’s unique challenges.

“This funding marks a major milestone not just for POZI, but for Gabon’s entire tech ecosystem,” said Loïc Kapitho, POZI’s co-founder and CEO. “It proves that Gabonese startups can earn the trust of global investors and pursue bold regional ambitions.”

A Rare Win for Central Africa’s Startup Scene

Central Africa remains one of the least-funded regions in Africa’s startup landscape. In 2024, startups from the region collectively raised just US$5 million, representing 0.2% of total African VC flows.

POZI’s breakthrough, therefore, is more than a business success — it’s a signal of shifting investor sentiment and a potential catalyst for other startups in Gabon, Cameroon, Congo, and beyond.

Regional Expansion and Sustainable Growth

Armed with fresh capital, POZI plans to expand into Côte d’Ivoire in 2025, the first step in a strategy to scale across 10 African markets by 2030. The company aims to connect 35,000 vehicles, leveraging AI and IoT to transform mobility, logistics, and safety on the continent’s roads.

Beyond technology, POZI’s mission is deeply socio-economic. By optimizing vehicle fleets, the platform helps reduce fuel waste and emissions, enhances safety standards, and supports more efficient public and private transport systems.
