Following in the footsteps of Tilray Brands (TSX: TLRY), Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB) has now been granted approval to expand its operations in Germany after the implementation of a new medical cannabis act, known as MedCanG.
Aurora has received two licenses from the German regulator responsible for cannabis, which permit continued domestic cultivation, as well as the expansion of Aurora’s offerings into one additional product. An R&D license has also been granted, which enables Aurora to trial up to an additional seven cultivars at their facility in Leuna, Germany.
The company has said it also intends to expand their offerings into the German patient base, although the firm provided no data on the current size of its customer base in country. Aurora has been operating in Germany since 2021, producing 1,000 kilograms of cannabis annually for the medical market.
