Last week, OWC Pharmaceutical Corp announced that it would be presenting at the Wall Street Conference, which will be held at the Hilton Doubletree Hotel and Conference Center in Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Florida, on Wednesday, March 1, 2017. This premiere conference in the venture capital arena and small-cap marketplace includes industry leaders from the hedge fund, investment banking, and private equity worlds, as well as sophisticated investors, who attend to discuss significant trends in the financial markets.
The Wall Street Conference is one of the leading conferences for small-cap investors and OWC is excited to be a part of it. OWC continues to make significant progress in the research and development of cannabis-centric medical treatments, specifically with our psoriasis cream, which is being readied for the U.S. and European markets. We are focused on having our products on the shelves in the MMJ states this year. I am very much looking forward to discussing the Company with conference attendees,” remarked Ziv Turner, OWC Pharmaceutical Corp’s VP Business development and Managing Director of One World Cannabis.
Member of the company’s Advisory Board, Jeffrey Friedland, is a featured speaker at the Conference and is expected to discuss the opportunities for public company investments in the cannabis sector, and the positive impact that Israeli science and companies are having on the U.S. and Canadian cannabis markets. He is also CEO of Intiva Inc., which was an early-stage investor in OWC, and the author of Marijuana: The World‘s Most Misunderstood Plant.
The legal cannabis market has expanded considerably over the past two years, generating significant and growing investor interest. However, there are only a handful of publicly-traded companies focused on cannabinoid-based, pharmaceutical development and a true scientific approach to product development. I intend to discuss what I see as the publicly-traded cannabis opportunities at the Conference,” Friedland noted.
