Short description: In industrial plant production the efficiency of finished products production depends on the genetic characteristics of plants and photosynthesis – the latter is a bottleneck in the industry. Current cannabinoid production processes are outdated and resulitng in high prices and low supply.
Market potential: The market is driven by an increasing need for effective remedies to counter chronic pain and anxiety. Target: healthcarse system, insurers, research institutes and private enterprises.
Timing: The current cannabinoid production process is outdated and limited in throughput, resulitng in high prices and low supply.
Desired result: Integrating novel plant BioTech solutions (e.g. exogenous plant nutrient delivery) in cannabinoid production would allow for precise fine-tuning of medicinal properties as well as yield maximization, making high-quality medicinal cannabinoids more accessible to the public.
