About the Program

Greece is a newcomer to hemp cultivation for medicinal purposes. However, the country is gradually emerging as a key European player, mainly due to its recent innovative regulation. The Greek government pays particular attention to streamlining procedures, introducing new provisions for the export, distribution and circulation of the final Cannabis sativa L. with more than 0.2% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Join us for answers and an update on the latest developments and trends from Enterprise Greece, the country’s investment and trade promotion agency, on questions such as:

• What’s Greece’s potential for pharmaceutical cannabis projects?
• What’s the role of geography? Can Greece become a regional hub for producing and
  exporting final products?
• How can the country support new investments? Which are the main investment incentive
  schemes on offer?
• Which are the main steps for developing a new project?

Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from KAYA Holdings and TIKUN, two renowned companies already active in the country. View the full agenda for this program.
