De-Risking Medicinal Cannabis Infrastructure
The medicinal cannabis sector attracts investment, driven by demand and evolving regulatory frameworks. At the same time, many projects struggle to reach stable, compliant production. In most cases, the challenge is not demand, but execution. Facilities are often developed without fully aligning cultivation requirements, regulatory standards and operational systems from the outset. This is particularly […]
