NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: OTCM), operator of financial markets for 10,000 U.S. and global securities, today announced that it will cohost a Cannabis Global Capital & Commercialization Conference and participate in EY Journey 2019 taking place on Mon., September 16 and Wed., September 18, 2019 respectively. These signature programs highlight Israel's leading innovators and investors in high-growth and entrepreneurial global industries including tech and cannabis.
"OTC Markets Group is pleased to participate in two dynamic programs that convene participants spanning Israel's expansive entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem -- comprising early-stage, private and cross-traded companies, VCs, public investors and thought leaders -- to discuss and evaluate alternative strategies for global growth," said Jason Paltrowitz, Executive Vice President of Corporate Services at OTC Markets Group.
"As Israeli entrepreneurs move from startup to scale-up, there becomes a growing need for founders here to evaluate alternative options to staying private or going public on a national exchange. We see first-hand the success that Israeli issuers have experienced on our OTCQX and OTCQB markets and encourage more companies to avail themselves of the more cost-effective market alternatives in which to raise capital, build global investor awareness and gain secondary access to U.S. investors."
On September 16, 2019, OTC Markets Group will cohost an exclusive, expert-driven Cannabis Global Capital & Commercialization Conference in Tel Aviv. In partnership with the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), and cosponsored by Edison Group, Gelbart Kahana and iCAN the program is designed to support private and publicly traded cannabis companies in the globalization of their capital markets and business development strategies.
