About Hellenic Dynamics plc

 
Founded in 2019, Hellenic Dynamics is specifically focused on the cultivation and supply of THC ("tetrahy-drocannabinol") - dominant strains of medical cannabis flowers, destined for the growing global medical can-nabis markets. Hellenic Dynamics' core strategy is to develop and operate its 40,000 square metre active culti-vation licence from its 195,506 square metre facility located near Thessaloniki in Northern Greece. In full production, Hellenic Dynamics is capable of producing over 54,000 kg of dried flowers per annum.

Hellenic Dynamics will take advantage of its relatively low cost base resulting from a comparatively low cost of power, having its own running water supply and the labour rates for skilled and semi-skilled labour in Northern Greece.

29 European countries now allow medical cannabis via prescription and the European cannabis market is ex-pected to reach $7.25 billion per annum by 2029. Sales of Hellenic Dynamics' dried THC-dominant cannabis flowers and extracts are initially intended for export into Europe, in addition to other international markets and domestically in Greece.

As the first medical cannabis cultivator to obtain a listing on the main market for listed securities of the Lon-don Stock Exchange, Hellenic Dynamics is significantly different to the number of CBD (Cannabidiol) related companies that have appeared over the recent years. Hellenic Dynamics cultivates THC-dominant medical cannabis flowers. THC-dominant medical cannabis products are only available via a medical prescription. Medicinal cannabis has been approved for use both in the United Kingdom and Germany, plus 24 other Euro-pean countries, for conditions including but not limited to chronic pain, intractable chemotherapy-related nau-sea, anxiety, insomnia, Tourette's syndrome, substance use disorder, multiple sclerosis, IBS, spinal cord treat-ment, lack of appetite due to HIV/AIDS, cachexia, anorexia and glaucoma.
