Combining a circular economy approach and the application of nanotechnology, Unibaio is dedicated to the production of nanocapsules that improve the efficiency of conventional agrochemicals. These nanocapsules are produced from a natural polymer called chitosan that is extracted from shrimp shells, a fishing activity waste with high availability in the Argentine Patagonia. The addition of this biomaterial in the agrochemical formula reduces the use of insecticides and herbicides by up to 60%.

This startup addresses one of the greatest challenges in today’s agriculture: the drop in crop production due to exposure to extreme heat, a growing threat to food security in the context of global warming. ThermoReLeaf developed a solution to this loss of yield through a platform based on its own scientific discovery, preventing the process of cell death that plants activate in heat without affecting their growth and development. This technology helps to restore agricultural profitability and reduce the social impact of climate change.

StirpiaTec develops solutions based on microalgae and microorganisms for the sustainable production of high industrial value compounds. From diatom strains optimized by biotechnology and metabolic design tools, the company drives the generation of strategic biomolecules such as vegan Omega-3, bioenergy lipids, antioxidants and nanomaterials for precision agriculture applications. Its technology platform offers innovative alternatives for industries that seek productive efficiency, reduced carbon footprint and a development model aligned with the bioeconomy and sustainability.
