🇻🇳🇦🇺 WHEN THE RIGHT RESOURCES COME TOGETHER

An idea only creates real value when it is connected to the right knowledge, resources, and markets. That is the spirit of Tech Connect 2026: moving beyond one-way technology transfer towards jointly identifying challenges, conducting research, testing ideas, and developing solutions.

By bringing programs, research institutions, funding, businesses, and markets across Vietnam and Australia into a shared collaborative ecosystem, technology can move faster from research to real-world application and create meaningful impact.

Today, Alternō was honoured to participate in the Vietnam - Australia Tech Connect Forum 2026 at the UTS: University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The forum brought together government representatives, universities, research institutions, and businesses from both countries to advance science, technology, innovation, education, and talent development. 🤝

A special highlight was the participation and remarks of Party General Secretary and State President Tô Lâm. His presence reflects the growing importance of science, technology, and innovation in the Vietnam - Australia relationship, while creating further momentum for collaboration between the two countries.

For technology startups like Alternō, this is an opportunity not only to showcase technology, but also to meet the right people to research, refine, and bring solutions into real-world use.

Alternō sincerely thanks the Australian Alumni Business Network - AABN for its support and for giving us this meaningful opportunity.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to Vietnam’s ministries and agencies, as well as the Organising Committee, for creating a valuable bridge that helps Vietnamese startups, businesses, and researchers connect, learn, and explore new opportunities for collaboration in Australia🌱

ALTERNŌ’S SAND BATTERY: A JOURNEY OF CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN THE HIMALAYAS ⛰

🇧🇹 Bhutan is widely celebrated as one of the happiest countries in the world and one of the very few nations to maintain a carbon-negative status. Yet, it remains deeply vulnerable to the realities of climate change. Melting glaciers increase the threat of flash floods, while heavy rains, landslides, and water scarcity continue to disrupt the daily lives of mountain communities.

To deploy effectively in Bhutan, Alternō must adapt its technology to the local climate, terrain, and energy demands. While our Sand Battery cannot stop natural disasters, it offers a reliable solution for storing clean energy and supplying heat on demand for practical everyday needs:

🌾 Agricultural drying
🥫 Food processing
🚿 Hot water supply
🏠 Space heating
🏭 Local manufacturing support

♻️ Storing energy as heat allows Bhutan to better harness its renewable electricity, reduce dependence on firewood and fossil fuels, and maintain a steady heat supply during extreme weather or power disruptions.

✈️ Before formalizing a partnership agreement, representatives from Bhutan Trading flew to Vietnam to experience Alternō’s Sand Battery technology firsthand.

🔬 During the visit, our guests explored our manufacturing process and system operations, engaging in deep technical discussions with Alternō engineers regarding product capabilities, deployment conditions, and tailored applications for Bhutan's unique environment.

🤝 Beyond understanding the technology, the meeting opened up practical perspectives on how the Sand Battery can support Bhutan in strengthening climate resilience, empowering local livelihoods, and upholding its carbon-negative commitment.

👣 Every journey begins with a single step. This flight from Bhutan to Vietnam marks the beginning of a shared path where technology is adapted to local needs, and partnerships are built on mutual understanding before stepping into long-term commitments 🚀🌿

🇯🇵 ALTERNŌ SAND BATTERY FEATURED ON A JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM 🌱

Alternō has officially opened a branch office in Ibaraki Prefecture. For us, this is a major and meaningful milestone. Yet in one of the world’s most advanced and demanding industrial markets, it is only the beginning.

Recently, Chematels a Japanese media platform dedicated to the chemical and materials industries published an interview with Alternō about our journey in developing Sand Battery technology, an energy storage solution designed to support the industrial green transition.

Being featured by a specialized industry publication is a great source of encouragement for the entire Alternō team. More importantly, it is an opportunity to introduce our Sand Battery technology to a wider business community and industrial ecosystem in Japan.

We sincerely thank Chematels for listening to and sharing our story, and for helping open the door to new connections.

Alternō’s first pilot project in Japan is now being prepared for deployment. There will undoubtedly be challenges ahead, but we believe that every expression of interest, every new connection, and every step forward brings the Alternō Sand Battery closer to the Japanese market. 🌏

💥 ALTERNŌ SAND BATTERY BEGINS A NEW JOURNEY IN THE WORLD’S ONLY CARBON-NEGATIVE COUNTRY!

Bhutan is known worldwide for its philosophy of Gross National Happiness - a place where progress is measured not only by economic growth, but also by people’s well-being, a balanced way of life, and an environment preserved for future generations.

These values also guide Alternō on our journey to develop Sand Battery technology: safe and sustainable energy storage solutions that help businesses embrace the green transition without placing an additional burden on the planet.

Following a period of learning, meaningful discussions, and first-hand experience with our technology, Alternō and Bhutan Trading have officially signed a Cooperation Agreement.

This is more than a commercial agreement. It brings together two partners who share a common belief: economic growth and environmental protection can go hand in hand.

For Alternō, this marks an important milestone in bringing our technology to international markets while opening new opportunities to deliver safe and sustainable energy storage solutions to Bhutan.

We sincerely thank Bhutan Trading for their trust and genuine spirit of collaboration.

Stay tuned for the next chapter of the Alternō Sand Battery journey in Bhutan!
