Mr. Hendrik Knopp, a respected lawyer and accomplished entrepreneur, along with the TruHC team, joins the Flora family. Mr. Knopp’s leadership has been pivotal in establishing Germany’s medical cannabis landscape, including securing one of the first cultivation licenses in the country.
“I am delighted to welcome Hendrik Knopp and the TruHC team to the Flora group. Their expertise and achievements within the industry, particularly in pioneering medical cannabis in Germany, make them invaluable partners,” stated Clifford Starke, Chief Executive Officer of Flora.
As Germany and the European Union move towards the de-scheduling of narcotics, facilitating improved patient access, Mr. Knopp, Chief Executive Officer of TruHC, expressed his anticipation: “I am excited to collaborate with Flora as we navigate the evolving landscape of medical cannabis. The potential for easier patient access presents a compelling opportunity to contribute to the remarkable growth of this industry.”
