Founded in 2016, Vertical Future is a London-based vertical farming technology and data company with global reach. The Vertical Future team design, manufacture, and build a range of proprietary hardware and software technologies, including an integrated vertical farming system – fully automated from seed through to harvest. Powered by its proprietary “DIANA” SaaS system that tracks, analyses, and improves the entirety of the growing process together with underpinning crop science carried out in-house, Vertical Future is building a global network of data-enriched, smart farms.

Vertical Future’s partners, customers, and farms can be found across the UK and globally including the Middle East, Singapore and Australia. Growing using a Vertical Future system means greater efficiency, higher quality crops, less land use, and enhanced water and fertiliser conservation compared to broadacre and glasshouse production methods. Vertical Future also partners with a number of UK and International academic partners, including the University of Cambridge, the University of Essex, The University of York and the University of Adelaide’s ‘Plants for Space’ programme.
