Canada’s competitive advantage in the global cannabis sector
Listen now
Description
Canadian Cannabis companies have a unique window of opportunity to retain the leading position in this growing global sector. Having passed the two-year 'canniversary' of the federal Cannabis Act, and with more than 1,000 new cannabis retail stores expected to open across the country next year, business leaders are well-positioned to leverage insights and shift the focus from cultivation to innovation. In this episode of the Toronto Business Insights podcast, Blair McCreadie speaks with Eric Foster about the industry review he’s leading with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, pressure points companies are facing, evolving opportunities for expansion, and why innovation is the key to retaining Canada’s lead on the global stage. Eric also shares what’s on the horizon for the emerging psychedelics industry.  If you would like to discuss this podcast, please contact Eric Foster, Blair McCreadie or any member of Dentons’ Cannabis group.
