Kerala-based agri-tech startup uFarms.io receives UK startup visa
An agri-tech startup operating under Kerala's Startup Mission has received the UK Startup Visa, which is given to creative startups that can significantly boost the economy of the United Kingdom. After partnering with Uptown Urban Farms in Kerala for seven months, uFarms.io, which was incubated by the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM), now has a UK Startup Visa. According to the business, the partnership led to the creation of the state's largest (16,000 square feet) fully automated hydroponic farm.
"The startup's ground-breaking solutions have earned it prestigious endowments and accolades, including the Nidhi Prayas Grant, NIDHI EIR Fellowship, and the EY Climathon Runner-up award", the company said. The UK Startup Visa enables startups to establish their presence and grow their operations in the United Kingdom. uFarms.io was incubated under the Startup Mission two years ago.
Seamless integration of IoT (Internet of Things), data analytics and artificial intelligence has enabled the company to optimize crop management by promoting sustainable agriculture and precision farming, the company stated. The business stated that it would keep working to close the gap between agriculture and development so that sustainable farming can be achieved. KSUM is the Kerala government's nodal agency established in 2006 for the state's entrepreneurship development and incubation activities.
