We are thrilled to partner with Arcview and URI Fund on this important event.”

Uri Capital Management added: “Cannabis usage as a medicinal plant dates back to Chinese history for thousands of years. Medicinal cannabis research is rapidly progressing, and we need to redefine our attitude towards cannabis and hemp. Asia, more specifically China, is poised to leverage its unique advantages in Hemp and agriculture to become a dominant global leader. URI is proud to become the first Chinese financial conglomerate to focus on the Asian cannabis industry and will leverage the firm’s world-class research and investment resources to lead the way.”
