HEMP-IT 2021 ROADMAP
Our awareness of the societal and environmental challenges of tomorrow drives us to lead the way by contributing to the promotion of bio-based hemp construction. That’s why we’ve decided to invest in a modern, inviting workspace where working together is a pleasure. We’ve designed a convivial space where we can consolidate our collective intelligence, pool our resources, and envision a hemp-filled future.
This new building, with a total surface area of 7,500 m2, includes cutting-edge industrial production facilities, a head office built using bio-based hemp materials and a genetic research laboratory dedicated to developing expertise in biotechnologies and plant breeding innovation. Building began in June 2019 and is scheduled to finish in 2021.
