Build. Scale. Secure. Digitally — since 2015.
A software, AI, cybersecurity and managed IT firm with offices in Harare and Gaborone. For more than a decade we have helped governments, banks, professional associations and growing businesses run better on technology — across Africa and beyond.
We start with the business problem — not a technology stack.
Code Labs Alliance began in 2015 with a simple belief: organisations in our region deserve technology that is as good as anywhere in the world, built by people who understand how business, government and regulation actually work here.
Today we design, build, secure and support systems for ministries and councils, financial institutions, professional bodies, NGOs and ambitious private companies — from enterprise websites and procurement platforms to internet banking, contact-centre systems and 24/7 managed IT.
Through The Code Labs Academy we also invest in the next generation — teaching children, aspiring developers, professionals and organisations the skills that keep talent, and value, at home.
Ten years of shipping, securing and supporting.
A partner, not a vendor.
Africa’s technology partner for winning businesses — at home and beyond.
We see African organisations competing and winning on the world stage — powered by technology built on the continent, trusted by its institutions and good enough for any market.
Turn technology into measurable business wins.
We find where time, revenue and trust are leaking, then design, build, secure and run the systems that fix it — and we stay accountable for the results.
- More revenue captured, less admin carried
- Systems secure enough for banks and governments
- Local talent, world-class standards

Security first
Every system is hardened, monitored and documented from day one. It is the standard banks and governments expect.

We use modern tools — AI included — where they create real value, never because they are fashionable.
