Sovereign BioTech

We don’t sell a bottle. We bring

Vietnam’s sovereign biotechnology

to SWITCH.

Bacte did not start with a bottle. It started with a Vietnamese patent and a state-level research project.

Many companies in the sector chose to build contract-manufacturing plants. Bacte went the other way: it chose to own its core technology early, with its own money. It took part in state research programmes and stood before the Scientific Council, but it never depended on them.

The result is IP that belongs to Bacte, from the formula to the process. That is why Bacte is a BioTech, not a single product line: one owned technology can serve many parts of the value

Granted Vietnamese patent

No licence, no dependency

National-level research project

Made from what Vietnam already has.Held together by a formula only Bacte owns.

The raw materials are close to home. Shrimp shells from Cà Mau and bark from Trà My, Quảng Nam: by-products that Vietnam produces every day.

In Bacte’s lab they become two natural actives, chitosan and cinnamyl acetate, combined in one proprietary formula. The chitosan also protects and stabilises the formula, so it keeps for three years on a distributor’s shelf.

The result is pure Vietnamese nature: non-toxic, LD50-tested, with no residue left on the crop.

The hardest disease to fight is the one you can’t see.

Gummosis, nematodes, root rot, yellowing leaves. The worst threats to a durian, coffee or pepper farm start underground, out of sight and out of reach.

Natural solutions are often thought to be slow. Bacte’s answer is a number growers can measure.

90%

of nematodes eliminated

90

minutes

90% of nematodes eliminated within 90 minutes.

And because prevention matters more than cure, Bacte works best before the damage shows: protecting the roots keeps the whole season on track.

One IP. Many problems to solve.

The same IP can answer more than one problem. Bacte is already exploring next research directions, and is looking for partners to develop them. These are research areas, not products on sale.

Why Bacte exists

“Vấp cục đá, té sấp mặt, rồi ngẩng đầu lên mới tìm ra chân lý.”
I stumbled on a rock and fell flat on my face. Only when I looked up again did I find the truth.

Hồ Phúc Nguyên
Engineer · Founder & CEO, Bacte

When most companies in the sector were building contract-manufacturing plants, engineer Hồ Phúc Nguyên made a different choice: own the core technology, and pay for it with his own money.

He took the research through state programmes and stood before the Scientific Council, but never leaned on them. Along the way the product changed about 20 times: the formula, the packaging, the name, the partners, the plant.

What never changed was who it was for: growers who fear toxic chemicals, want to move to biological solutions, and still need something that works.

Shark Tank Vietnam · Season 7

5/5

Sharks backed Bacte

The technology then went on national television. All five Sharks put their names behind Bacte, a sign that this is a biotech that already sells, not a lab project waiting for a market.

“Too good to be true.”

Tillman Schulz, investor

Today he brings that owned, market-tested IP to SWITCH, not to sell a bottle, but to invite partners to build on it.
