Industrial Hemp -
FOR A BIOBASED & FOSSIL FREE FUTURE
5 MAY 2021
Join us – our 2nd annual virtual hemp-conference live from Sweden.
Industrial hemp – an agricultural crop producing highly nutritious food and carbon neutral materials.
We warmly welcome you to a day filled with opportunities to expand both your knowledge and network.
A line-up with global leaders, researchers and lighthouse projects from the multi-billion dollar industry that hemp is. To showcase the potential for the Swedish countryside, food, agriculture, construction-and textile industry in particular.
Join us as we take a virtual deep dive tour and visit a hemp-lime building course.
The conference is co-produced by Swedish Hemp Industries, House of Hemp and Industrial Hemp Association of Sweden.
Our intention is to put Skåne, Sweden on the thriving global hemp market. With the ambition to inspire for new bio-based and fossil free market segments, which will also contribute to new research, innovation and transform industries.
We look forward to having you on board!

Hemp is the answer to many of the societal challenges experienced by countries in different ways and levels. If every country would cultivate hemp and have a process-and supply chain around it - I believe we could change the world.
