About iGii

iGii’s patented innovation, Gii™, is a 3D foam made from carbon atoms. It combines the desirable physical properties of graphene, such as sensitivity, flexibility and conductivity, without its scale-up and mass application challenges. 

The cash injection will help iGii scale manufacturing of Gii-Sens™, its highly sensitive and accurate component for point-of-care diagnostic sensors. This application of Gii™ is experiencing strong demand globally due to its ability to deliver precise, laboratory-level results for a range of illnesses and indicators of illness, including cancers, pathogens, liver and heart failure. 

“We are excited by the growth and impact potential of iGii, and we are pleased to be invested in the company’s future, which includes scaling its products for a global market and bringing more skilled jobs to Stirling.
