NANOSOILS BIO
Dr. Cong Vu is the founder of NanoSoils Bio, applying nanotechnology to improve pesticide delivery and reduce chemical use on farms. His formulations boost crop resilience by increasing efficacy at lower doses, bridging advanced science and practical agriculture.
The Problem
Conventional pesticide delivery is inefficient, leading to chemical overuse, poor crop uptake, and long-term soil degradation. Farmers are under increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact and input costs, yet current formulations often require high doses with limited results. It’s a system that’s costly, wasteful, and unsustainable.
The Solution
NanoSoils develops patented nano-formulations that enhance pesticide adhesion, solubility, and uptake. The technology improves effectiveness at lower doses, reducing chemical use while protecting crop health and soil biology.
Target Market
NanoSoils is designed for progressive growers, agronomists, and seed suppliers who want to maximise crop performance while minimising chemical use. With rising demand for sustainable practices and residue-free produce, the solution appeals to those seeking smarter, science-backed inputs that align with future farming standards.
Stage of Development
NanoSoils has validated its nano-formulations through early-stage trials and is now working closely with growers and researchers to optimise field performance. The focus is now on scaling formulation capabilities and expanding use across different crop types and regions.
FOUNDER BIO
DR. CONG VU,
Founder
Dr. Cong Vu is the founder of NanoSoils Bio, a startup born from breakthrough cancer research and reimagined for agriculture. With a PhD in nanomedicine from UNSW, Cong originally designed nanoparticles to deliver anticancer drugs with precision. When he discovered that one cancer drug was derived from an old pesticide, he began exploring how nanotechnology could improve pesticide delivery in farming. Today, NanoSoils is reducing chemical use and improving crop resilience through patented nanotech formulations. Backed by research and real-world results, Cong is bringing cutting-edge science to the farm in a way that’s practical, sustainable, and ready for broadacre use.
