Curaleaf International Advances Accessibility of Medical Cannabis Products in Germany with Strategic Partnership

Curaleaf International (formerly EMMAC Life Sciences Group), Europe’s largest vertically integrated cannabis company, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Adven GmbH (“Adven”), has announced a strategic partnership with Zambon GmbH, the German subsidiary of Zambon Spa, an Italian multinational pharmaceutical company, leading in Parkinson’s Diseases, Severe Respiratory Diseases and Pain. 

The aim of the agreement is to make medical cannabis treatments available to patients, with an initial focus on neurological therapies.  The first treatment will be launched in Germany in Summer 2021. 

“We are delighted to be announcing this partnership with Zambon today, and to be working with a leading pharmaceutical company to create the first European pharmaceutical and medical cannabis partnership; we believe it is testament to our continued commitment to research-led product excellence at Curaleaf International,” says Curaleaf International CEO, Antonio Costanzo. 

“We are looking forward to strengthening our collaboration and the creation of more such partnerships, where relevant pharmaceutical and medical cannabis expertise and excellence can be combined to advance the industry’s understanding of medical cannabis for the rapidly growing European patient community.”

“Supporting therapies, like medical cannabis, are a meaningful addition to Zambon’s European portfolio. Our expertise in neurology and Curaleaf International’s knowledge of the pharmaceutical active processes of cannabinoids provide ideal conditions to bring innovative treatment to patients,” says Marco Castino, Head of Region Europe in Zambon.

Patient Benefits

Since 2017, cannabis has been approved for therapeutic use in Germany and may be prescribed by doctors for serious illnesses. Germany is Europe’s largest market for medical cannabis. It is expected to be worth USD 2.1 billion by 2025.

“We are constantly seeking ways to enhance the life of chronically neurologically ill patients with our products. Offering modern therapy approaches, such as co-medication, especially in view of the progression of these clinical pictures, is part of our vision to improve patients‘ lives,“ says Dirk Greshake, Zambon GmbH General Manager.

“As strategic partners, we are combining our experience and resources for the benefit of the patient. Together we want to advance the development of high-quality medicinal cannabis and have made it our mission to improve the quality of life of neurological patients who still have symptoms despite conventional therapy. With Zambon‘s many years of experience as a research company in the field of neurology and Adven GmbH, as part of Curleaf International, Europe’s largest vertically integrated  medical cannabis company with its comprehensive expertise in the development and production of medicinal cannabis, we believe we have a unique partnership in place to address these patient requirements,” explains Julian Vaterrodt, CEO of Adven GmbH.
