Vision
About CovianHive
CovianHive Technologies develops products, services and initiatives across technology, education, creativity and innovation for individuals, businesses, institutions and communities.
Our story
CovianHive began from two personal motivations: the desire to create and the desire to build an identity that people could recognize and remember.
During university, technology and programming became an important part of that journey. The name Compiler also became an identity that many people around the university associated with the founder, and the original intention was to register the company as Compiler Corporation. When that name was not accepted during the registration process, the search for another registrable name eventually led to CovianHive Technologies.
As the idea developed, the motivation grew beyond creating something people would remember. It became a broader ambition to create products, services, technologies and eventually machines that could carry a Zambian identity into the world.
Today, that ambition guides CovianHive: to build original products, develop useful technologies, create opportunities, work with talented people and partners, educate and empower others, and continue exploring what can be created from Zambia.
