About New Zealand MedCan Summit
MedCan Summit was created by BioTechNZ and Helius Therapeutics with the vision to build a sustainable event that plays a significant role in the aggregation of knowledge, to ensure a solid foundation of scientific understanding of cannabis for the advancement of public policy, and the nation’s overall public health.
Bringing together leading experts, scientists, clinicians, entrepreneurs, investors, policy makers and thought leaders, to share first-hand insights and up-to-date information about the world of medicinal cannabis, to help support the developing New Zealand sector.
MedCan Summit 2021 will build on the success of last year’s inaugural event, continuing to advance the sector with speakers presenting the latest medical and scientific findings and breakthrough technologies across medicine, science and industry.
