Today, hemp production in France is limited to industrial applications. A change in regulations is expected this year to allow hemp tops to be harvested and valorized.
At the same time, the Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament et des produits de santé (ANSM) is launching an experiment to demonstrate the benefits of cannabis for medical purposes. This raises the question of how to structure a specialized French cannabis industry with highly technological production constraints.
In this fast-changing context, Innov'Alliance aims to explore and anticipate new avenues of innovation, from hemp and cannabis production to the valorization of cannabinoids in nutraceutical, cosmetic and food drink "wellness" markets.
The competitiveness cluster is organizing a technical day on 1er July, in Avignon, on this theme, enabling participants to discover the "Hemp of possibilities" and explore the challenges and avenues for innovation. Numerous issues will be addressed, from hemp and cannabis production to the formulation and valorization of CBD and cannabinoids.
