Do you want to become an entrepreneur in the world of cannabis?
The Polytechnic University of Catalonia has established a business and research center to become an entrepreneur/investor for the cannabis sector in Spain.
The market for cannabis-derived products continues to grow in Spain, following the global trend. The latest institution to join this sector was the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), which created a commercial and research hub, the first of its kind in all of Europe, to promote knowledge of industrial uses of the hemp plant. By studying the subject and the possible areas of application you can become cannabis entrepreneurs.
The statement of the Vice Chancellor for Knowledge Transfer and Innovation of the UPC, Jordi Berenguer
“We want to exercise and achieve research leadership in competitive projects, promote collaboration among participating partners, and become the center of reference in attracting talent for the application of technology in this cannabis sector.”
Between companies, research centers and associations in the cannabis sector, the hub has 18 participants. Furthermore, it will have prestigious experts and a public-private scientific committee, which includes the Institute for Agri-Food Research and Technology, dependent on the Generalitat de Catalunya. All ready to share their knowledge and educate enthusiasts to become entrepreneurs or investors prepared on the topic of cannabis.
In this way, the cannabis and its derivatives sector reaches universities in Spain for the first time, which demonstrates the potential of a sector in which great figures such as David Beckham are already investing. His company, Cellular Goods, offers a cannabis derivative for smoking without THC, the substance that gives you the feeling of being high.
