Richard Carleton CEO of the CSE, outlines the many reasons why this is the ideal time to share the CSE’s value proposition to the global audience in Davos:

“The CSE is pleased to showcase Canada’s leadership position in the development of the global cannabis industry to the Davos community. Canadian companies have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the corporate finance and policy development as well as the technologies that optimize the cultivation, extraction and delivery of cannabis and hemp-based products. As the home to the greatest number of public cannabis and hemp-related companies, the CSE is in a unique position to provide a forum for these companies to share their capabilities with peers from around the world”.

OTC Markets Group, a regular collaborator with the Canadian Securities Exchange, specifically on international endeavours, adds the following:

“Our alliance with the CSE continues to present today’s innovative cannabis companies with a streamlined approach to enhance their North American profile and gain secondary access to the broad pool of U.S. investors through cross-trading,” said Jason Paltrowitz, Director, OTC Markets Group International Ltd. and EVP of Corporate Services at OTC Markets. “OTC Markets Group is proud to be at the forefront of the conversations taking place at Davos surrounding cannabis and the exponential growth in publicly-traded securities from this sector.”

As of December 31, 2018, there are 446 cannabis-related securities trading on OTC Markets Group’s OTCQX, OTCQB, and Pink Markets with a total market cap of $20.75bn. MedMen Enterprises Inc. (MMNFF), Green Thumb Industries Inc. (GTBIF) and MariMed Inc. (MRMD) are among the top 5 cannabis-related companies traded on OTC Markets based upon market cap.
