Your IFA Innovation Platform Profile
What collaboration are we looking for?
Nanofertech’s core offering is our controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) coating technology and coating strategy, built around our LAMATU formulation. We are seeking strategic partnerships with fertilizer manufacturers who can license or adopt our coating technology to launch their own branded controlled-release fertilizer products, expanding their portfolio into the higher-value CRF segment without needing to develop the underlying coating chemistry in-house.
We are also seeking partnerships with fertilizer distributors, particularly those with access to major raw material suppliers. Through this collaboration, Nanofertech would work with the distributor to produce controlled-release fertilizer customized to the specific needs of their target customers, combining our coating technology with the distributor’s market knowledge and feedstock access to deliver a tailored CRF product under their distribution network.
Beyond manufacturing and distribution, we welcome support in the following areas: co-development or technical validation partnerships, such as joint field trials or third-party efficacy testing; investment or grant funding to scale our Pilot Production Facility; and market access support for entry into regulated markets such as the EU, where CE marking and compliance guidance would accelerate our go-to-market timeline.
What solutions and opportunities are we offering?
Nanofertech offers controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) coating technology and coating strategy, built around our LAMATU formulation, to fertilizer manufacturers seeking to expand their product portfolio. We provide the technical coating process know-how, and production support needed for manufacturers to launch their own branded controlled-release fertilizer products, without requiring them to develop the underlying coating chemistry independently.
We also offer collaboration with fertilizer distributors, particularly those with established market networks and access to raw material supply such as urea. Nanofertech can work with distributors to formulate and produce controlled-release fertilizer customized to the specific needs of their target customers, combining our coating technology with the distributor’s market reach to deliver a tailored CRF product under their own distribution channel.
Beyond manufacturing and distribution support, we offer technical collaboration in areas such as joint field trials and efficacy validation, formulation customization for specific crops or regions, and knowledge transfer/training on controlled-release coating application. We are open to support partners in pursuing regulatory compliance and market entry, drawing on our own experience navigating certification pathways such as CE marking for the EU market.
