Infarm

Overview

Infarm is a Berlin-headquartered German vertical-farming and controlled-environment agriculture company founded in 2013 by Erez Galonska, Guy Galonska and Osnat Michaeli. The company designs and operates modular growing units - originally deployed inside supermarkets and later in larger centralised growing centres - producing leafy greens, herbs and other produce under controlled temperature, light and humidity conditions.
Why this entity matters

Infarm is one of the best-known European AgriTech companies of its generation and a recurring reference point in Startuprad.io coverage of the Berlin startup cluster, DACH DeepTech, European unicorns and controlled-environment agriculture. Its December 2021 Series D took its valuation above one billion US dollars, making it a headline European AgriTech unicorn, and its later operating-model transition remains an important case study in the economics of vertical farming at scale.
Company or institutional background

Infarm - Indoor Urban Farming GmbH was founded in 2013 in Berlin. Its early product concept placed modular growing units directly inside supermarket stores, close to the consumer, with plants harvested on-site. The company subsequently expanded into larger centralised growing centres serving retail and food-service customers across Europe. Public reporting has consistently framed Infarm as a leading example of the wave of European AgriTech companies that combined hardware, software and agronomy to shorten the produce supply chain.
Role in the DACH startup and technology ecosystem

Infarm sits at the intersection of the DACH DeepTech, hardware and food-tech ecosystems. Its investor base has included international growth-stage funds and its customer base has drawn heavily from European grocery retailers. During 2022 and 2023 the company reorganised its operating model, moving from many small in-store units toward larger centralised growing centres, and later concentrated its European retail-facing operations on markets where the unit economics were most favourable. The transition is widely referenced as a case study in the operational economics of vertical farming at scale.
Selected relationships and affiliations

Infarm was co-founded by Erez Galonska, Guy Galonska and Osnat Michaeli. Its capital base has included international growth-stage and strategic investors, and its retail partnerships have included major European grocery groups.
