Infarm is a global vertical farming company that revolutionises the food supply chain and helps make cities self-sufficient in their food production. It was founded in Berlin in 2013 by Osnat Michaeli and the brothers Guy and Erez Galonska, who turned a 1955 Airstream trailer into the worlds first mobile vertical farm. From this humble beginning, Infarm has partnered with the world’s top retail chains and is focused on North America and Europe.
Infarm’s product catalogue consists of a variety of more than 75 plants such as herbs, leafy greens, salads and microgreens. Infarms modular farming systems are highly efficient, capable of growing more than 500,000 plants annually on just 40m2 of floor space. In addition to using 95% less land, Infarm requires 95% less water than traditional farming methods and uses no chemical pesticides. So far, Infarm has harvested over 40 million plants, while saving more than 145 million litres of water, more than 203,000m2 of land, and nearly 1.6 million food miles (about 3 million km) with its production methods.
Infarm has set a science-based net-zero carbon target through The Science Based Targets initiative and is a Certified B Corporation™. Infarm’s operating entities are embedded in a holding company, infarm Indoor Urban Farming B.V, which is registered in The Netherlands. For more information, please visit www.infarm.com.

Five is building self-driving software components and development platforms to help autonomy programs solve the industry’s greatest challenges.
In doing so, we will help turn today’s promising engineering systems into tomorrow’s trusted mobility solutions and improve the lives of millions of people, in countless ways.
We’ve learnt a lot from successfully building our own high-functioning, complete self-driving system and testing it on London’s public roads. We now define our mission in two ways:
1. Deliver advanced online components that address the most under-solved challenges in self-driving systems.
2. Build a modular, cloud-based platform that delivers performance and scale for system development and assurance.
To make this a reality, we’re looking for creative problem-solvers and practical doers from a range of backgrounds in areas such as software engineering, robotics, machine learning, computer vision, AI, mathematics, control engineering, software assurance, simulation, verification and motor sport.
We welcome people from all backgrounds, at all levels. If you’re talented, ambitious, and want to build the future with an incredibly smart, friendly, creative and inclusive team, we’d love to hear from you.
