UFarms.io, a cutting-edge agri-tech startup supported by Kerala’s Startup Mission and the state government, has secured the prestigious UK Startup Visa. This visa is awarded to innovative startups that promise to make a strong impact on the UK’s economy.
This achievement comes seven months after UFarms.io joined forces with Uptown Urban Farms in Kerala. As an aftermath, it led to the establishment of the state’s largest fully automated hydroponic farm spanning an impressive 16,000 square feet. The startup’s groundbreaking solutions have not gone unnoticed. It has garnered prestigious accolades such as the Nidhi Prayas Grant, NIDHI EIR Fellowship and the EY Climathon Runner-up award.
The UK Startup Visa provides UFarms.io with a remarkable opportunity to expand its presence and operations within the United Kingdom. This will showcase the global potential of their agri-tech innovations.
Two years ago, UFarms.io became a part of Kerala’s Startup Mission (KSUM). Since then, they have achieved great success by making use of advanced technologies like IoT, data analysis and artificial intelligence. These tech tools have helped them improve how they grow crops, making agriculture more eco-friendly and precise.
UFarms.io is dedicated to bringing together new ideas and farming. They want to help make farming more sustainable. The Kerala Startup Mission, which began in 2006 and is the government’s main group for supporting new businesses and projects, is still behind these creative ventures. This shows how Kerala is really focused on encouraging both business and new technology in farming.
