Welcome to Micromek
Micromek is a Malawian based hardware startup locally producing low cost Unmanned Aerial vehicles that will serve the healthcare and environmental monitoring communities in Malawi and across Africa.
What We Do
By working hand in hand with the Virginia Tech University Unmanned Systems Lab we are developing a low cost Unmanned Aerial vehicle (EcoSoar) to explore in delivery of remote medicine to provide a sterile transportation chain from clinic to laboratory, Reduce time for delivery of diagnostics, vaccines and medicines, Provide a lower cost delivery option and Improve delivery reliability to help hospitals and relief organizations to tackle healthcare challenges affecting children in the hard to reach, remote areas of Malawi.
