The Event
We invite you to join us and take part in the first Israeli-Greek international conference showcasing business opportunities in the expanding international cannabis industry. Athens is hosting this first of its kind event March 18-19, 2020, at the Titania hotel.
In late 2018, Greece completed its first steps in the legalization process and awarded its first marijuana grow licenses to privately-owned companies.
These initial steps are part of the Greek government’s goal of creating new business opportunities in the emerging cannabis industry and connect with medical cannabis companies worldwide.
The conference presents an unprecedented opportunity for engagement, collaboration, knowledge sharing, and business between the world’s top innovators and some of the leading companies from Israel, Greece, and many others in the international medical cannabis industry.
The conference will showcase the most advanced growing systems and approaches in the medical cannabis space. The event will also serve as a forum for discussion on the latest licensing developments, growing methods and buisness aspects.
As hosts, Growing-Smart LinC LTD and ECOPLAN LTD organized the event in close coordination with the Israel-Greece and Greece-Israel Chambers of Commerce. The event will be attended by some of the top Greek government officials.
