As previously shared, Cultivators paired up with Innexo, to provide Operational Excellence Trainings to parties in the cannabis industry. This collaboration offers a unique possibility for European companies to attend hands-on cannabis training and expand their knowledge and experience with the cannabis crop. The first-ever training started this autumn, when Aptus and Roam Technology attended their Propagation Stage module. On November 14th the companies concluded the Flowering Stage module.
During the training, each company has a small trial with plants they propagated themselves, and in every module of the training they have the chance to see the results of their previous work.

During the second half of the day, over 50 guests and representatives of several companies in the industry, including Grodan, Atami, Fluence, Bionova, and more, were welcomed at Innexo. After a short presentation session followed by drinks and snacks, guests of the Acceleration Day could enter the greenhouse to take a look and smell the plants. Inside, representatives of Aptus and Roam Technology had the chance to share information about the products and methods they applied during the training. The day was concluded with some networking opportunities, drinks, and new insights for everyone attending.
Great show up with over 50 people with various backgrounds; growers, researchers, suppliers, and other industry stakeholders.
