Economists foresee the potential overall cannabis and cannabis-related product market reaching tens of billions of dollars in the next decade.  According to The Arcview Group, medical cannabis spending in Australia is expected to grow from $52 million in 2018 to $1.2 billion in 2027.  Worldwide, medical cannabis spending will reach $19.1 billion worldwide by 2027.

The Summit will cover the most current industry topics including Ag Tech & Innovation, Business & Finance, Policy & Regulation, Science & Medicine.

Explaining why CannaTech has chosen Sydney for their next event, Saul Kaye, Founder & CEO of iCAN:Israel-Cannabis and CannaTech said, "Australia is a key and growing player in the exploding cannabis field. Many Australian cannabis companies are on the cutting edge of the market and we are thrilled to bring some of the world's leading companies and investors to Australia to meet with their counterparts to discuss a range of business and technological issues.  

"Mothers and citizens of all stripes are outraged over the lack of easy access to products for epilepsy, pain, and cancer treatments. As we have seen in other countries this is one of the biggest drivers towards better access for patients. In fact, surveys indicate that 91% of Australians favour medical cannabis use." As a native Aussie myself, I could not be prouder to bring CannaTech to my home country and work with like-minded professionals who understand the immense global health and business potential of medical cannabis moving forward."
