Idea

Biodegradable Nano-encapsulation Technology Designed to Reduce up to 80% the Need of Harmful Chemicals in Agriculture.

Current Status

We interviewed more than 40 companies in south america, asia, europe and the US to validate the novelty of our tech and their need for innovation.
We are doing pilots with 5 companies and we have 7 more in the pipeline.
We are working side by side with Plug and Play to reach US companies.
We also have the support in our go to market strategy from Philip Rollinson, a former global manager of Dupont.
We have 6 patents applications and one more to be filled this semester.

Problem or Opportunity

Synthetic pesticides are damaging soil's capacity of retaining carbon-dioxide & producing food. Agrochemical companies are losing billions in lawsuits for affecting human-health. In this context, more environmental regulations are emerging willing to ban common pesticides that cannot yet be replaced.

Solution (product or service)

We developed a delivery technology, commonly used in pharma, that allows agrochemical companies to lower the need of harmful chemicals, without modifying the entire formula. In this way, it is easier its adoption by the farmer, who can use the same effective pesticide, herbicide or fertilizer they've been using for decades, but now much less toxic.

Business model

Unibaio's micro-nano capsules are sold in licensing/royalty models to Agrochemical Companies like Bayer or BASF.
We benefit from licensing the capsule's production process or providing them the particles produced by us. Additionally, we sell services pre and post sales.

We are currently providing potential customers with micro-nano capsules samples to test the efficacy on existing formulations (e.g., YTEC, Surcos, Bioceres). Our products are designed, such that they can be easily integrated into existing production environments (don't require special machinery).
