Invoxia is a French consumer electronics company known for the design and development of innovative smart devices that use artificial intelligence, such as the first GPS tracker on the market to use LoRa[1] technology (introduced in 2017), the first connected speaker outside the Amazon ecosystem to use the Alexa[2] voice system and a line of GPS trackers for preventing bike theft[3] and monitoring pet activity.[4] For the B2B market, it provides fleet tracking and asset management services.[5] It also provides industrial IoT services[6] including hardware design and development and the training and integration of neural networks.

Invoxia was founded in 2010 by the French serial entrepreneur Éric Careel (also Withings, Sculpteo and Zoov) and Serge Renouard.

Invoxia is backed by Newfund since 2012. In 2013, Invoxia took control of the ancestral telephone manufacturer Swissvoice.[7]

In October 2015, Amazon[8] announces Invoxia as a recipient of the Alexa Fund[9] to integrate Alexa voice services[10] into Triby.
