A new 2020 feature on the fast moving medical cannabis market in Denmark

Invest in Denmark is featured in The Open Access Government January 2020 publication wherein our Special Advisor, Derek Light and Investment Manager, Michael Prytz talk about the rapid development in the medical cannabis market in Denmark and Europe.


A rapid development in Denmark 

Denmark offers a solid and reliable entry-point into the European medical cannabis market. In January 2018, the Danish government implemented a four-year medical cannabis pilot programme along with a special development scheme that provides licenses to grow and handle cannabis to develop medical cannabis based products. In November 2018, the government passed a subsequent motion to allow bulk exports of medical cannabis.

The medical cannabis market has developed rapidly since 2018. The dominos are falling and several countries across Europe and the world are adopting medical cannabis programs.
