Innovatelid Pty Ltd was born from one belief — that Africa's kitchens deserve technology as smart and soulful as the people who cook in them.
We are a South African startup re-imagining everyday cooking through intelligent design, blending tradition, safety, and innovation to create tools that honour culture and simplify life.
From the hum of city apartments to the rhythm of rural homes, our mission is the same — to make African cooking safer, faster, and more dignified, without losing its authenticity.
This is more than innovation.
It's Africa engineering its own future — one lid, one kitchen, one story at a time.
Designing the Future of African Kitchens through intelligent, culturally-aware technology.
We fuse engineering and culture to create technologies that reflect Africa's creativity and resilience.
We won't just build appliances. We are designing possibilities — made for Africa and for the world.
At Innovatelid, we see the African kitchen as more than a place to cook — it's the heartbeat of creativity, connection, and culture.
Our vision is to lead Africa's smart-appliance revolution, transforming everyday kitchens into centres of safety, efficiency, and pride — where modern engineering meets timeless tradition.
We are engineers, designers, and storytellers, inspired by the rhythm of family life and the wisdom passed from pot to hand. Every idea begins with listening — to communities, cooks, and cultures — ensuring our innovations honour heritage while embracing the future.
"We build for the people who stir, share, and celebrate food — because innovation is most powerful when it feels like home."
