FutureConnect builds compact NanoFarm™ units and runs them with its proprietary livOS™ AI operating system, enabling real-time demand forecasting and automated crop adjustments. By situating these farms in unused city locations, the company slashes distribution distances, lowers waste, and avoids the large upfront costs typical of traditional vertical farming. Its network debuted at Incheon International Airport and is now expanding into the United States through partnerships with major East Coast supermarket chains, where local partners finance the infrastructure while FutureConnect manages operations and shares revenue. This asset-light strategy helps the company sidestep the capital-intensive challenges that have hampered other smart-farm ventures. The recently secured Series A funding will be used to refine FutureConnect’s data analytics capabilities and broaden its urban farm footprint both in Korea and overseas. Although the company has not disclosed revenue or user figures, investors cite its ability to secure mainstream U.S. retail partnerships as a key differentiator. CEO Gilmo Kang aims to leverage the U.S. launchpad to position FutureConnect as a leading global smart-farm solutions provider.
