(CSE: BLAB) (FSE: L020) (“Britannia“) is pleased to announce the launch of the Green Bridge Gateway, a strategic partnership between its subsidiary, Advanced Development & Safety Laboratories (“ADSL“), the Association for the Cannabinoid Industry (“ACI“), Global Regulatory Services (“GRS“), Shweed, and US-based Chem ID.
As an expanded collaboration to the pioneering partnership between ADSL and ACI for Novel Food Applications, the Green Bridge Gateway provides members with support in entering the UK & EU’s CBD market, and will provide access to regulatory advice, toxicology data, supply chain expertise, lab testing and track and trace blockchain technology to propel the industry forward.
