MetaOptics files for IPO on SGX Catalist

Proceeds will be used for product development and R&D.

MetaOptics Ltd, a Singapore-based semiconductor optics firm, has submitted its preliminary offer document for an initial public offering (IPO) on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange (SGX-ST).

According to its preliminary offer document, MetaOptics will use IPO proceeds for product development, R&D—including rectangular metalenses—and strategic collaborations. The funds will also support business expansion, mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and general corporate purposes.

Founded in 2021, MetaOptics is the first pure-play metalens company to seek a public listing globally. The company develops and manufactures AI-enhanced glass-based metalenses used in smartphones, AR/VR devices, 3D biometrics, LiDAR systems, and other optical products.

The group offers full-stack capabilities—from optical design and nanoscale fabrication to integration and distribution. It produces metalens camera modules, IoT devices, and manufacturing equipment. Its technology enables high-speed optical interconnects critical for scaling telecom infrastructure, with mass-production capability using semiconductor processes.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
