CannabisHub CDays (2024), training and business around cannabis

With the growing attention and changing perceptions around cannabis globally, events that bring together experts, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts of the sector are becoming key moments for exploration, collaboration and exchange of ideas between all kinds of professionals and followers of the cannabis world. In this context, CannabisHub is proud to present, once again this year and for the third time, the CDays, an interesting event that will take place in Barcelona on 13 March.

With a focus on innovation, education and networking, CDays promises to be an enriching experience for all those interested in the future of cannabis and its various applications in the wide range of fields where it can be used. From conferences and debates to access to databases of various companies in the sector, this event is designed as a platform to encourage dialogue and cooperation, thus fostering progress in the cannabis industry. We tell you all about it in this post!

Cannabis Hub, an opportunity to grow

You may be wondering what exactly the Cannabis Hub is; well, it is a community of companies, entrepreneurs, organizations, and institutions related in one way or another to cannabis that join forces to create a space in which to establish new contacts, strategies, and approaches within the sector.

Thanks to this structure, the members of the Cannabis Hub can establish working groups between different companies, always in a framework where terms such as partnership and networking take on real importance, allowing the creation of a series of synergies between companies that help them to take a step forward in their particular activity.

Of course, anyone with any kind of relationship with the cannabis industry can form part of the Hub, such as administrations, associations, researchers, entrepreneurs, educators, or investors, finding a space where they can boost their activity and establish connections with other companies or institutions that can help them in their business development.

In addition, the Cannabis Hub is also finalizing the last details to offer - together with an important Spanish university - a University Course for Cannabis Specialists. Studies that in many cases are the perfect way to round off a curriculum based on knowledge that is difficult to demonstrate in any other way. On the other hand, they also represent a great opportunity for all those who want to learn more about cannabis and its sector, especially for future professionals in this growing industry.
