Leading global industry players HempConsult GmbH and Hempro International GmbH & Co.

“We’re happy to see this initiative and keen to support it,” said Daniel Kruse, CEO, whose companies have been active on the Asian continent for more than 15 years. “There’s never been a more exciting moment than now in Asia, as the pieces come together that can shape the region into the world’s leading hemp producer,” said Kruse, who will address the Summit.

Speaker slots still available

The Summit, to be held at Gokarna Forest Resort in Kathmandu, already has a roster of 14 international presenters. Applications are still being taken to fill the few remaining places on the schedule, organizers said.

“These sponsor partnerships reflect a continuing commitment to hemp across the continent on the part of Hempro Int. and HempConsult,” said Dhiraj K. Shah, CEO at Kathmandu-based SHIV. In addition to their long-term involvement in Asia, the two German companies recently supported SHIV’s work creating shelter for displaced, disadvantaged Nepalese who lost their homes after the 2014 earthquake in the country. Hempro Int. and HempConsult purchased a house for a family that was constructed by SHIV of hempcrete.

Leading global players

HempConsult offers guidance on everything from hemp farming and organic certification to CBD production and sales as well as its legal status. The consultancy also produces regularly updated market reports on a range of indicators, having been one of the first major industry players to begin to quantify the overall hemp sector when it started collecting worldwide market data in 2012. HempConsult has an extensive base of knowledge, network partners and experience all over the world.

Hempro Int. GmbH & Co. KG, is a vertically-integrated hemp firm with interests in Germany, Europe and China since 2002.
