About CROP17
In the 17th Century the English embarked in pursuit of structures that maximised light and created the perfect temperature for the plants that it housed.
Continuing that tradition of seeking perfection is CROP17. Born of a partnership between a group of the most established builders, growers and strategists, CROP17 is a turnkey solution for those looking to build and operate cannabis facilities in the UK.

DEPLOYMENT
The Problem
Lots of groups are very excited about entering the cannabis sector; from growers, to investors, to property businesses, to pharmaceutical, to R&D and beyond. All of these potential entrants offer an area of expertise, energy and capital to invest but not the knowledge to create a compliant operational facilities.
Facilities require a licence. In order to gain a licence, a full route to market strategy, proof of capability to grow, real credibility, and significant funding is required. The industry is struggling to meet these demands as it requires end-to-end joined up thinking, creating a problem that no business can solve in isolation.

The SOLUTION
Understanding the geographic location alongside regulatory, commercial and operational challenges is the key to the success of any project, especially when working with controlled environment growing. A strong partnership is needed to review every aspect of an investment decision.
CROP17 acts as ‘the glue’ for UK medical cannabis ventures, and fills knowledge gaps to allow the creation of cultivation facilities. We provide knowledge, insights, and our networks to support new entrants. We can walk clients through the process, from project concept through to a first saleable medicinal grade (e.g EU-GMP) crop, and all the steps in-between.
Geographic optimisation through recognition of local site, climate and economic factors is essential for success.
