Founded in Norway in 2011, Nofence pioneered the world’s first commercial virtual fencing system for cattle, sheep and goats. Its solar-powered collars use GPS and mobile networks to define digital boundaries and deliver escalating audio warnings followed by a mild electric pulse if an animal crosses the line, all managed through an easy-to-use app. The technology supports rotational grazing, lowers labor and production costs, and improves land stewardship, making it attractive to climate-conscious farmers. Adoption has grown from pilot projects in 2016 to more than 150,000 collars sold, and the company now employs about 90 people across Norway, the UK, Ireland, Spain and the United States. Recent hiring of a U.S. managing director and national sales director underscores a push into the American market, where producers in 48 states are already using the product. With fresh capital, Nofence plans to accelerate expansion in North America and Europe, advance product development, and deepen customer support. Investor enthusiasm highlights the firm’s momentum and positions it to make virtual fencing a global standard in livestock management.
