With the emerging legal cannabis industry continuing to expand globally, it is more important than ever for entrepreneurs, investors, and companies to form strategic partnerships effectively. It could mean the difference between a brand being around for years to come or having to close operations.

Partnerships can take many forms, and unique endeavors will require specialized talent, mentorship, capital, and/or many other mutually beneficial components to help ensure success in the increasingly competitive cannabis industry.

A team of experts recently participated in a panel discussion at the International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin, focusing on the topic of forming strategic partnerships. The panel was moderated by Sonny Moerenhout, Managing Partner of Cultivators. Mr. Moerenhout was joined on the panel by:

• Michael Torrey, CEO of Vertosa
• Scott Olin Schmidt, Executive Director of Emerald Village West Hollywood
• Narkis Tessler, Chief of Strategy and Business Development of Medocann Group
• Andrew Baukham, CEO of Leven Therapeutics
• John Slaughter, Founder and CEO of High North Laboratories
