Drug Screening Reader Update: Arabic Language Integration

Intelligent Fingerprinting is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc.

Arabic is the second international language integrated into the Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System as part of the Company’s multilingual upgrade.

Arabic is spoken by approximately 450 million people worldwide, holding official status in nearly 25 countries[1]. With this update, fingerprint drug testing technology will be made more accessible to Arabic-speaking organizations in safety-critical industries, law enforcement and drug rehabilitation.

Integrating the Arabic language into the Intelligent Fingerprinting 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, the System is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for accessible, efficient, and reliable drug testing solutions across the Middle East[2]. This update will allow for the smooth integration of fingerprint sweat-based testing 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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.
