Biotechnology
Pioneering breakthrough biotechnology solutions to revolutionize tick control in livestock, addressing a $3B annual challenge in Brazilian cattle farming.
Through strategic partnership with Embrapa Cattle Research, Biotick is developing next-generation vaccines that promise to transform how the livestock industry manages tick-related diseases and losses.
Biotick's innovative approach is set to revolutionize livestock disease management, moving the industry away from chemical treatments toward sustainable, biotech-based solutions that enhance productivity while meeting growing demand for sustainable farming practices.
Biotechnology
Developing next-generation biotechnology solutions for livestock tick control in partnership with Butantan Institute, targeting a multi-billion dollar market opportunity.
Through strategic collaboration with Butantan Institute and independent researchers, Imunotick is pioneering innovative vaccine solutions to combat tick-related diseases in national livestock.
The company focuses on scientific research, technological development, patent registration, and commercialization. Imunotick continues to invest in breakthrough biotechnology projects for innovative vaccine development.
At the forefront of scientific research and technological development in agriculture, Imunotick is revolutionizing livestock disease treatment and prevention through strategic partnerships and continuous biotechnology innovation.
Carbon Capture
With technology licensed from Embrapa, Agrorobótica delivers a complete soil diagnosis in seconds, enabling the monetization of carbon in agriculture.
Born from a partnership with Embrapa, the AGLIBS® platform uses laser-induced plasma—the same principle as the technology aboard the Mars rover—to perform a complete soil diagnosis with over 20 health indicators in just 22 seconds. This replaces a 20-day chemical process, allowing farmers to precisely manage their largest production cost—fertilizers—and access the global carbon economy.
Agrorobótica's strength comes from the union of two fronts—the on-the-ground vision of agronomist Fábio Angelis and the deep scientific expertise of physicist Aida Magalhães. Their professional collaboration transformed cutting-edge Embrapa science into a practical tool that improves the farmer's decision-making, driving productivity and sustainability side by side.

Nanox's technology is transforming markets through innovative nanotechnology solutions, serving sectors from plastic packaging to textiles, household goods, milk packaging, and paints. The versatility and cost-effectiveness of our technology enable endless application possibilities.
Biotechnology
Buzz Fly has revolutionized the circular economy by transforming a major industrial challenge—organic waste management—into a valuable new revenue stream.
While competitors buy expensive inputs to create insect protein, Buzz Fly inverted the model. The company partners with large food producers, receiving payment to solve their organic waste problem. This waste then becomes the raw material for a hyper-efficient bioconversion process, powered by the Black Soldier Fly, which produces high-value protein for animal and plant nutrition.
The genius of Buzz Fly lies not only in its biotechnology but in the intelligence of its business model. Guided by the vision of its founders, the company re-imagined the entire value chain, proving that the most powerful form of sustainability is one that is also inherently profitable. They don't just create products; they create value cycles.
