Farm in a Box, an Amsterdam-based company founded in 2023, is focused on developing modular, land-based aquaculture systems. The company was established by Ohad Maiman, founder and former CEO of The Kingfish Company, and Thue Holm, founder and former CTO of Atlantic Sapphire, who bring extensive experience in the land-based aquaculture sector. Their goal is to address the high capital expenditures and lengthy construction times that currently impede the growth of the industry.
The company engineers, markets, and delivers a plug-and-play solution for fish farming using Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS). This product consists of prefabricated, easy-to-assemble modules designed to make fish production faster, more affordable, and scalable without the need for complex and costly installations. Farm in a Box asserts that its modular systems can reduce capital expenditures by 30% to 50% compared to current industry standards. The target clients are fish farmers globally who are looking to establish or expand their production capabilities efficiently.
In July 2025, the company secured €350,000 in funding from the North Holland Innovation Fund. This capital is earmarked for the development of a working prototype of its integrated RAS control system and for pursuing patent applications. The company is also in the process of fundraising an additional €3.5 million to finance the construction of the physical farming unit hardware and a demonstration unit to aid commercialization efforts. The business model is B2B, centered on the sale of these modular aquaculture units.
