About us

Who we are

Cannovum Iberia LDA is the Portuguese subsidiary of the German pharmaceutical cannabis company Cannovum AG. Cannovum joins forces with Portuguese entrepreneurs who are very experienced in cultivating high quality medical cannabis with a sustainable approach. This approach leads to medical cannabis that is sunlight-grown and free of chemical pesticides. The joint venture allows Cannovum to provide Portuguese patients with cannabis-based medicines, because every patient deserves the best therapy.

The company Cannovum AG is the first German pharmaceutical cannabis company that got listed on the stock exchange in Germany. Although Germany was the starting point, we are a European company and founding the Portuguese brand was the first step to provide patients all throughout Europe with medical cannabis.
