UrbanFarmers develops fully climate-controlled rooftop greenhouses that use closed-loop aquaponic systems linking fish and vegetable production. The company operates commercial sites such as UF001 LokDepot in Basel and supplies restaurant and retail customers including Migros Basel. Led by CEO Roman Gaus, UrbanFarmers focuses on scaling urban food production through localized, sustainable farming solutions. The company intends to fast-track international farm development projects and build internal engineering, procurement & contracting capabilities. Proceeds from its recent financing will be used to strengthen proprietary operating technology and the UF brand. The business has rolled previous investor commitments into its current financing via a prior convertible bond offering.
