Vertical Future (“VF”) is a London-based global vertical farming technology company, founded in 2016. VF designs, manufactures and deploys autonomous vertical farming systems, incorporating a range of integrated proprietary hardware and software solutions, most of which are manufactured in-house. Our proprietary "DIANA" SaaS system powers our customers’ farms, increasing productivity over time. Our core model addresses critical issues on a global scale, such as food scarcity, water security, population growth and distribution, and complex, interwoven supply chains. VF’s systems also extend beyond food and can be applied in other sectors, including pharmaceuticals, reforestation, and space exploration in collaboration with NASA, Axiom Space, and the U.K. Space Agency. Supporting VF’s core model is a continuous programme of research, working with leaders in agriculture, climate tech, and agronomy. Driven by a focus on three main pillars of plant science, software engineering, and hardware engineering, as well as focusing on scale and in-house systems integration have all contributed to VF's current position as the #1 independently ranked CEA technology company globally. VF is also a “Global Innovator” in the World Economic Forum, winner of many awards, and a member of the World Green Economy Organisation.
