The legalisation of marijuana has opened up the door for a new and potentially lucrative industry. A lot of companies are springing up and capitalising on this money-making yet untapped market.
Agreement with Namaste Technologies!
In this regard, Haifa-headquartered cannabis farming startup Seedo has inked an agreement with Toronto-based online cannabis products marketplace Namaste Technologies for marketing and distribution.
It’s worth mentioning that the company secured a $4 million (€3.6M) funding from CEO of Israeli PepsiCo-owned SodaStream International Ltd. Daniel Birnbaum.

As per the agreement, Namaste will distribute the farming device in European markets, including the UK, Ireland, and Germany. Also, the company launched a European distribution center near Rotterdam, Netherlands, back in May 2019.
