# Singaporean optical lenses manufacturer MetaOptics files for a $23 million US IPO

MetaOptics, a Singapore-based designer and manufacturer of ultra-thin flat optical lenses, filed on Monday with the SEC to raise up to $23 million in an initial public offering.

MetaOptics is currently listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange under the ticker 9MT.

MetaOptics develops and manufactures metalenses: ultra-thin, flat optical lenses that are smaller, lighter, and more power-efficient than traditional curved lenses. It operates across the full value chain, including equipment, foundry production, and end products, and integrates artificial intelligence into its design and image processing to improve resolution, correct optical defects, and enable computational image adjustments. In addition to producing metalenses and prototypes, the company builds demonstration and commercial applications such as camera modules, infrared cameras, pico projectors, and other IoT-based imaging devices to showcase and deploy its technology.

The Singapore-based company was founded in 2021 and booked $1 million in revenue for the 12 months ended December 31, 2025. It plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol MOT. MetaOptics filed confidentially on January 21, 2026. Roth Capital and The Benchmark Company are the joint bookrunners on the deal.
