In August 2024, Hayo launched an Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform designed to support mobile operators in developing markets. The platform provides scalable IoT solutions that enable operators to expand their services and improve network capabilities in regions with limited resources. Leveraging Hayo's global infrastructure, the platform seeks to address local challenges in sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, and logistics.

In September 2024, Hayo expanded its presence by opening new offices in Yaoundé, Cameroon; Niamey, Niger; and Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka. This expansion enhances local support and expertise, accelerating digital transformation for businesses and governments in these regions.{{Cite press release |date=2024-10-02 |title=Hayo Expands Reach Across Africa and South Asia |url=https://techfolio.co.ke/hayo-expands-reach-across-africa-and-south-asia/ |access-date=2024-11-08 |website=Techfolio |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=ITEdgeNews |date=2024-10-02 |title=Hayo's digital solutions to enhance Africa, South Asia's global competitiveness |url=https://www.itedgenews.africa/hayos-digital-solutions-to-enhance-africa-south-asias-global-competitiveness/ |access-date=2024-12-10 |website=ITEdgeNews |language=en-US}}
