Integration of Arabic opens opportunities in the Middle East and supports Company’s strategic global expansion goals
Drug Screening Reader - Arabic
INBS' Drug Screening System now supports the Arabic language.
NEW YORK, March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: INBS) (“INBS” or the “Company”), a medical technology company delivering intelligent, rapid, non-invasive testing solutions, today announced it has integrated Arabic as the second international language to its Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System as part of the Company’s multilingual upgrade.
The addition of Arabic follows INBS’s previously announced expansion plans in the Middle East in early 2025, through its partnership with Ivy Diagnostics. Arabic is spoken by approximately 450 million people worldwide, holding official status in nearly 25 countries1. With this update, INBS is making its technology more accessible to Arabic-speaking organizations in safety-critical industries, law enforcement and drug rehabilitation, reinforcing its presence in the Middle East and capitalizing on the growing global demand for innovative drug testing solutions.
Integrating the Arabic language into the Company’s portable Drug Screening Reader will improve accessibility and usability for Arabic-speaking organizations in the Middle East. With the workplace drug testing market in Saudi Arabia alone projected to reach $64.5 million by 2030, INBS is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for accessible, efficient, and reliable drug testing solutions across the Middle East2. This update will allow for the smooth integration of the Company’s technology into existing safety protocols, enabling businesses to strengthen workplace safety standards.
“Expanding language support is a crucial step in ensuring our expanded global reach and accessibility of our solution to organizations worldwide,” said Harry Simeonidis, President & CEO of Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. “Arabic was a logical choice for the second language integrated into our system, given its wide use across the globe. Adding Arabic to our system strengthens our capabilities and presence in the Middle East and will provide more businesses with an intuitive and reliable drug testing solution.”
The integration of Arabic language marks a key milestone in INBS’ broader international growth strategy, reinforcing its footprint in key markets. The enhancement aligns with the Company’s plans to scale operations across North and South America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East, expanding on its existing presence in 19 countries. This update builds on INBS’ strategic milestones, including its recent FDA 510(k) submission in December 2024 and planned entry into the multi-billion dollar U.S. market in 2025.
