Thanks to a $1.65 million investment from New GX Ventures SA, a collaboration between New GX Capital, RMB Ventures, and GIIG Africa, Envisionit Deep AI is now poised for expansion. This happened after the company was voted the Southern Africa regional winner of the African Startup Awards.

The company supplies a range of goods that it wants to market outside of South Africa, including the Radify AI platform, which it says delivers rapid, precise, high-quality, and affordable medical imaging diagnostics that are essential for identifying diseases and treating them.
