And it will be easier for manufacturers to reduce business risk, while increasing profitability and maintaining full regulatory compliance.
The startup representatives believe that their platform has great potential to stimulate the development of the industry in Europe. It will help to solve the biggest problems faced by the cannabis sector. It is about the standardization, verification and safe distribution of hemp goods.
