26th of September, 2018 - Amsterdam The Cannabis Capital Convention is the first cannabis conference in the Netherlands for investors and entrepreneurs.According to The Cannabis Industry 2017 Annual Report, sales of cannabis – both recreational and medical – will take off in 2018 with an expected reach of $4.75 billion. In 2025, the forecast is that it will hit $25 billion. This is a result of the legalization of cannabis for recreational use in Canada as well as multiple states in the United States of America. The legalization is expected to extend to other states as well, after the mid-term elections this November. When more states and countries legalize the production and consumption of this product, even more new businesses will appear, something that we have already seen in the last years. In North America cannabis has been recognized as a profitable emerging market, which caused multiple companies and funds to arise, which are invested in on a big scale.In Europe, the cannabis market is emerging as well. In the last half year, the cannabis industry in Europe has grown more than in the last five years. Multiple European countries have announced legislation and millions of dollars have been invested in the European cannabis industry alone. Europe has benefitted from the abovementioned global developments, since the governments can follow the lead of North America. Governments now fully comprehend the benefits that come with the legislation of cannabis, socially as well as financially.We want to bring the knowledge of the North American cannabis investors and the newness of the European cannabis market together in our Cannabis Capital Convention. Here, experienced experts from cannabis production companies, investors and analysts are invited as speakers and this will help in the investor learning experience. Also, European experts are invited to tell you about the current trends in this relatively unknown investment market.
