Lotus Intelligent Micro/Nano Sensors (IMNS), established in 2018, is a pioneering knowledge-based company specializing in the development and manufacturing of advanced electronic micro/nano sensors, microneedle patches, and high-precision fabrication equipment.
IMNS is recognized as a regional innovator in dissolving microneedle technologies, bringing advanced drug delivery solutions to the Middle East while contributing to the global progress in pharmaceutical and biomedical innovation.
What sets IMNS apart is its ability to develop in-house know-how. From the ground up, we have designed and built our own fabrication equipment — lithography, thin-film deposition, and etching systems — and used them to create complete micro/nano fabrication processes. With these technologies, we have successfully produced microelectronic sensors at wafer scale (4-inch) — a major achievement accomplished under limited resources and challenging conditions.
This capability reflects not only the strength of our technical team but also the vision of our founder, Dr. Milad Gharooni, whose background in nanoelectronics research and development has shaped IMNS into a company capable of delivering innovation at global standards.
The name “Lotus” reflects our cultural roots: the lotus flower, a symbol of peace during the reign of Darius the Great, embodies resilience, harmony, and growth. Inspired by this legacy, our logo and vision unite heritage with high technology.
Guided by our motto, “Sense Your Ideas,” we are committed to transforming innovative concepts into cutting-edge products that empower industries and improve lives worldwide.
A professional PhD in nanotechnology, he is a passionate and interested person in science. He has been pursuing his interests in technology since his youth and has gained deep expertise in the field of nanotechnology by spending years studying and researching in this field.
IMNS was founded with a bold vision: to transform scientific knowledge into practical technologies. What began as a small team of passionate researchers in micro/nano systems has grown into a company that not only manufactures advanced products but also develops the very tools required to build them.
Unlike many companies that rely on imported technologies, we achieved the rare milestone of creating both the fabrication equipment and the microelectronic processes in-house. By developing lithography, deposition, and etching systems ourselves — and applying them to design and fabricate sensors at the wafer scale — we have proven that even with limited resources, breakthrough innovation is possible. Many have described this accomplishment as nothing short of extraordinary in the context of our region.
In 2024, as part of our global expansion, we registered a Canadian subsidiary. Today, we are preparing for our next transformative chapter: relocating our headquarters to Dubai. With Dubai’s unparalleled infrastructure, visionary leadership, and commitment to emerging technologies, we believe our proven expertise can scale rapidly and create significant global impact.
Our journey has always been guided by three principles:
IMNS is more than a manufacturer; it is a creator of knowledge, tools, and technologies. With the right ecosystem — one that Dubai is uniquely positioned to provide — we are ready to take the next leap forward and redefine what is possible in the deep-tech landscape.
