Hong Kong’s first-ever Cannabis Investor Symposium will take
place on November 1, 2018 at the W Hotel. The one-day gathering is
hosted by The Arcview Group, CannaTech and URI Capital
Management.
The Cannabis industry is the fastest growing market in the world
and the legal cannabis business is expected to generate $57 billion
globally by 2027 as countries throughout the world continue to
legalize its use and demand continues to grow exponentially.
The Hong Kong Symposium will focus on the global investment
opportunity but is specially curated toward the Asian market.
The most powerful cannabis business leaders and investment
experts from around the world will gather to discuss the burgeoning
industry.
Keynote and panel discussions will cover Cannabis and China, The
Cannabis Value Chain, Market Insights:
Australasia, Public and Private Investment Opportunities,
Risks and Regulations, World Cannabis Policy and more.
The event is designed for those looking to gain insight into
investment opportunities in the global cannabis market, family
offices, money managers, venture capital firms, private equity
funds, and institutional investors.
Troy Dayton, CEO of The Arcview Group adds: “The worldwide
cannabis market is exploding, and Asian investors are increasingly
paying attention. Up until now, pioneering Asian investors have
only been able to simply read about this fascinating industry. Not
anymore. We are bringing the cannabis industry to them.”
Saul Kaye, CEO of CannaTech and iCAN said of the symposium, “The
time has come for serious Asian investors to enter the market. The
Hong Kong event will take place days after CannaTech Sydney,
Australia’s first Medical Cannabis Summit. The region’s attitude is
evolving quickly, particularly with respect to Medical Cannabis and
the industry needs to learn more. Currently dominated by American
and Canadian investors, the time is right for the Asian investment
community to join this industry. We are thrilled to partner with
Arcview and URI Fund on this important event.”
Uri Capital Management added: “Cannabis usage as a medicinal
plant dates back in Chinese history for thousands of years.
Medicinal cannabis research is rapidly progressing, and we need to
redefine our attitude towards cannabis and hemp. Asia, more
specifically China, is poised to leverage its unique advantages in
Hemp and agriculture to become a dominant global leader. URI is
proud to become the first Chinese financial conglomerate to focus
on the Asian cannabis industry and will leverage the firm’s world
class research and investment resources to lead the way.”
