Our advanced hardware and software solutions can be found on several continents and we are constantly looking for new projects, challenges, and vertical farming partnerships and research opportunities. To deliver on this, we have a highly experienced team of more than 80 staff – divided across engineering, plant science, operations, and software engineering.
The Vertical Future story began with operations, with the building of a small vertical farm in Southeast London in 2016 and the formation of Minicrops, which grew and delivered fresh produce (6 days a week) to hundreds of restaurants, small retailers, household food brands, and thousands of homes.
In 2018/19, recognising that the industry needed a fully-integrated vertical farming system offering, we decided to apply our learnings to developing our own technologies. A 4.1 million Seed investment round in 2019 helped us to begin this journey and was followed by a 22.5 million Series A in 2022 – the largest Series A to date in Europe for a vertical farming technology company.
Our prior operating experiences and advanced vertical farming system solutions position us to be able to not only build new high-tech farms across the globe – but operate them or at a minimum, advise on how to operate them.
We’ve deployed 8 farms in the UK, are building further farms as far as Singapore, and are also looking at multiple opportunities in the Middle East.
Research is a pivotal area of our business. We have funded and non-funded research projects and collaborations – from seed treatment and breeding through to genetics and phytopharmaceuticals.
Vertical Future has won numerous national and international awards in numerous areas, as well as other nominations, and is a member and Global Innovator within the World Economic Forum.
