Aurora Cannabis

By investing in the most innovative technologies, and implementing an aggressive expansion plan, Aurora Cannabis Inc. has quickly become one of the largest producers of medical cannabis in the world.

Currently operating out of Mountain View County, AB, Aurora is in the process of opening two more facilities in Leduc County AB & Pointe-Claire, QC. Each of these new facilities will utilize the most advanced automated technologies, and output an enormous amount of cannabis, giving Aurora an edge in both the medicinal and recreational markets.

Understanding that the perception and acceptance of cannabis are undergoing a massive global revolution, Aurora has developed business ties with companies around the world, including Germany and Australia, securing access to untapped markets overseas. Today, Aurora is ready to accept the challenge of taking the lead in what has become the world’s most dynamic industry.


Key Take-Aways:

  • Aurora expansion plans
  •  Use of automation and sophisticated technology in new facilities
  • Preparations for the potential adult recreational market
  • Aurora plans for the future & how Canada (and Aurora) are at the forefront of a massive global revolution
