Nofence, the pioneer in virtual fencing solutions, has announced the successful close of its Series B funding round, raising over £26m in July.
Marking Europe’s largest agtech funding round of 2025, the investment underscores strong confidence in the company’s ability to transform livestock management in the UK and worldwide.
Commenting on the landmark funding, Joachim Kähler, CEO of Nofence, said: “Nofence’s virtual fencing is transforming the way livestock producers manage their herds by enabling rotational grazing – an effective climate measure in agriculture – while also offering more efficient solutions to better monitor and enhance the welfare of livestock, reduce costs, and provide peace of mind.
“This Series B funding is more than a financial milestone; it further validates our vision and the real-world results we’ve delivered to farmers across the globe. This raise reflects the strength of our team, the loyalty of our customers, and the urgency of the challenges we’re helping to solve, positioning us to make virtual fencing the standard for livestock management globally.”
Global backing for sustainable farming
The round was led by the European Circular Bioeconomy Fund, with participation from Capagro, Nysnø Climate Investments, Climate Innovation Capital, and Speedinvest.
Beyond financial backing, these firms bring deep expertise in sustainable agriculture and climate-friendly innovation. Existing investors Sandwater, Momentum, and Ferd also renewed their commitment, further validating Nofence’s long-term growth strategy.
Marielle Hvide, Chief Commercial Officer at Nofence, added: “Our mission is simple, to deliver technology that works for farmers, the environment, and animals – working with nature, not against it.
“This investment will drive further innovation that delivers even more value to our customers. We are excited for the future of virtual fencing and the impact we will achieve at scale.”
Accelerating international expansion
This new capital injection will accelerate Nofence’s growth across key European and North American markets.
The company aims to enhance customer support, expand its service footprint, and invest heavily in ongoing product development.
With demand for sustainable livestock solutions on the rise, Nofence is poised to strengthen its leadership in efficient grazing systems for cattle, sheep, and goats.
How virtual fencing works
At the heart of Nofence’s innovation are its solar-powered, GPS-enabled collars. Instead of relying on traditional fences, the collars emit audio cues and mild impulses to guide livestock, creating flexible and invisible boundaries.
This system helps farmers reduce costs, improve pasture management, and protect sensitive habitats – delivering environmental and economic benefits simultaneously.
Proven impact in the UK
Founded in Norway in 2011, Nofence launched commercially in the UK a decade later. Since then, its technology has gained traction with a diverse range of users, from upland conservation projects and crofters in the Scottish Highlands to mixed grazing enterprises.
Farmers report improved land-use efficiency, reduced labour requirements, and enhanced animal welfare, making virtual fencing an increasingly attractive option.
Stefanie Witte, Chair of Nofence’s Board of Directors, added: “We are incredibly proud to announce our Series B funding round. This investment is a testament to the hard work of the entire Nofence team and the strength of our technology.
“What’s particularly exciting for us is not just the capital, but the calibre and international breadth of our investors.
“They bring a range of expertise from across Europe and North America – perfectly aligned with Nofence’s own international expansion, and their experience will be an invaluable asset as Nofence continues to grow and innovate.”
Shaping the future of livestock management
The latest funding milestone positions Nofence to continue reshaping the livestock industry through sustainable innovation.
By empowering farmers with practical, tech-driven solutions, the company is setting new standards for grazing efficiency and animal wellbeing.
With strong investor backing and growing global demand, Nofence is on course to redefine the future of farming with its pioneering virtual fencing technology.
