The rate at which the world is changing is now faster than ever. The pace of technical innovation has been rapidly increasing for the past century, making our world an unimaginably better place than it used to be. All novelties age overnight these days. Therefore, the evolution of technical products today must be fast-paced and on-point to consistently lead in their respective industries.

Most daring innovation lives on the bleeding edge of technology. We design, engineer and support production of solutions, enriching breakthrough ideas through a unique innovation process.

By design we are a team of 16 engineers of many overlapping fields of expertise working in unison, a large enough team to handle most complex challenges while small enough to be maximally agile. To empower our innovation process, we have set out on a mission to establish as many useful manufacturing and prototyping processes in-house, minimizing the reliance on external partners and enabling the process of immediate changes. Our work environment is set to be friendly and enjoyable to enable our team to be always at their best.

Launched in 2014 IRNAS stands for Institute for development of advanced applied systems, and this is exactly what we do to approach our mission of making the world a better place through technical innovation.

Luka Mustafa, CEO

Our
Mission

We are a highly-skilled, cross-disciplinary team of engineers and scientists that strives to apply expertise in mechanical, electrical and software engineering to a wide array of industrial, scientific and everyday problems, by creating effective and highly customized systems. We aim to empower our customers with technologies that improve their work process, allow them to bring technological ideas to the finished product and are the best fit for their needs.

We aim to provide the best quality, fast development service in order to support rapid ideas, and new product development, let that be an advanced communication system, CNC development platform or simple IoT device.

Whether you are in search of a hardware development partner, interested in one of our existing products, or need technical consultation on your project, contact us, and we will explore your idea with you.
