Since the legalization of medical and recreational marijuana in North America, the medical community interest in the cannabis space has grown immensely, resulting in a growing demand for R&D in the cannabis industry. Now that the regulatory barriers have been removed, Canada’s medical cannabis market is estimated to reach $3 Billion by 2024. According to data released by GrandView Research, the global medical cannabis market is projected to reach $146.4 Billion USD by 2025. With the growing acceptance and focus by the Canadian medical community, it is estimated that Canada is well positioned to be a world leader in advancing research & clinical trials in the global cannabis sector. Recognizing this opportunity, Innovate Phytotechnologies Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, offers seed-to-sale solutions and services including compliance and third-party testing, clinical trials, micropropagation, product development, and IP development and protection, for our target licensed cannabis producers, and medical professionals and associations.
Rob Emlyn, CEO stated; “Our new clinic, together with our integrated services, provides our clients with a complete set of services, from testing, R&D, IP development to clinical trials. Innovate Clinical Centres provide the infrastructure to serve the rapidly growing demand for Canadian cannabis clinical trials and broadens our reach to the global cannabis industry.”
