About Bios Hydrogel srl
Bios Hydrogel is an Italian agritech startup founded in 2019 that specializes in developing biodegradable and biocompatible hydrogel technologies for sustainable agriculture and vertical farming. The company’s core innovation involves hydrogels engineered to encapsulate water and nutrients, which act as soil retainers and fertilizers that release their contents gradually to support seeds and seedlings. These products, typically composed of organic fibers, humus, and clay, are designed to degrade naturally in the soil, effectively improving soil structure and fertility without leaving behind toxic chemical residues. The company holds patents for its formulations and collaborates with academic research institutions, such as the University of Padua, to advance its technological applications. By offering sustainable solutions for soil management, the company aims to combat issues like soil degradation, water scarcity, and the inefficiencies associated with traditional farming practices. Its products are versatile, enabling applications such as seed coating and facilitating automated or aerial seeding methods. The startup focuses on providing eco-friendly tools that enhance agricultural productivity while supporting circular economy principles in food production systems.
