Following the widespread acceptance of medical cannabis and CBD-based products in European countries, the regional government of Pescara in Italy has approved a new regulation for cannabis for therapeutic use. The attention of cannabis companies is shifting from the crowded North-American sector towards Europe. One such company is World High Life Plc (NEX:LIFE), which plans to become one of the main players in the European cannabis industry.

The regional government of Pescara, on the proposal of Councillor Nicoletta Verì, approved a resolution regulating the prescription and dispensing of medical preparations based on cannabinoids, which can be prescribed in pain therapy as a symptomatic support to standard treatments. The resolution amends and supplements the provisions of the previous commissioner’s decree of 2016. The measure not only transposes the new regulations that have been introduced in this area in recent years, but above all, regulates the application of the rules in all of Abruzzi, which until now had often adopted diverging management methods.

Following the adoption of the resolution, cannabinoid medicinal products for therapeutic use may be prescribed both by specialists of the regional health service operating in authorized centers, and by general practitioners on the basis of a therapeutic plan drawn up by a specialist doctor. The renewal of the prescription will be subject to a positive evaluation of effectiveness and safety by the prescribing physician, based on the individual variability of the response to treatment.

In the case of inpatient treatment, the hospital pharmacy is required to provide the preparations. Meanwhile, in the case of home therapy for the indications to be borne by the regional health service, the patient (who must always be provided with a medical prescription and a therapeutic plan) may apply to the hospital pharmacy of his local health authority.

Finally, for home therapy not covered by the regional health service, patients who have prescriptions may decide to obtain the drug directly from a pharmacy of their choice.

World High Life eyes promising investment opportunities in the European cannabis market

The untapped potential of Europe, the new frontier market, has attracted experienced cannabis companies that want to take advantage of these rich new opportunities. One such company is World High Life Plc (NEX:LIFE), which can leverage the experience achieved on the North-American cannabis markets and gain momentum in the fast-developing European sector.

World High Life is aiming to set itself at the forefront of the European cannabis industry, and has already made steady steps in that direction, by acquiring UK’s leading CBD company, Love Hemp Ltd.

WHL plans to expand its foothold by acquiring the most promising cannabis companies in the UK and other European countries that have a favorable legal framework towards medical cannabis, CBD and hemp-based products.

By utilizing the experience accumulated on the North American cannabis market, the UK-based investment company World High Life is laying the foundations of an empire.

New collaborations with Citibank, Abu-Ghazaleh Global, RAK Properties, and others strengthen SIU’s commitment to connecting academic learning with global career opportunities.

Swiss International University (SIU) has already informed about the new corporate partnerships that will start in October 2025 and that they will provide students with better access to internships, training programs, and job opportunities in various fields.

The new partnerships are aligned with SIU’s goal to combine education with the real world, as they ensure that the graduates are equipped with the required knowledge, skills, and professional exposure to be successful in the global economy of today.

In the last few weeks, SIU has formed alliances with several major companies, including those from the banking, business, hospitality, real estate, and consulting sectors. The students will be actively involved in each collaboration through internships, practical training, and the career opportunities that will be given to them during or after their studies.

Among the key collaborations are

Citibank, where students of the business and finance fields will get to experience international banking operations through special training and possible hiring programs.

Abu-Ghazaleh Global has given SIU’s programs its official blessing and access to practical experience in global business, accounting, and consulting.

RAK Properties is going to give real estate and business students a chance to learn about property development, investment, and project management.

The Signature Inn Hotel Al Riqa L.L.C. offers students of hospitality a chance through real-life interrelated scenarios to gain the knowledge of front-office operations and guest management.

Al Shabaka International Businessmen Services is opening a door for the students to meet the professionals involved in global business consulting and administration.

Galadari Motor Driving Center, where students will get a clear insight into corporate management, customer relations, and operational efficiency.

Women’s First Jobs is going to help female students and graduates through career counseling, professional networking, and empowerment initiatives.

MyFounders.Club Global is building up the students and aspiring founders in terms of innovation and entrepreneurship by taking them through the process of developing and launching new ventures.

Revival AE Project Development Consultant Co., L.L.C., where students will be working on consulting for sustainable projects and environmental management.

“The partnerships that we have formed represent our commitment not only to the business world but also to the world of academia,” said the Head of Swiss International University. “We are aspiring to equip every student in SIU with the power to win the global job market through robust academic credentials, practical exposure, and a web of real opportunities. Our target is not a teacher-student relationship whose only need is the job—our students will be the ones making changes in the various fields of tomorrow.”

The academic world and the global market are the two areas where SIU, collaborating with partners at the present time, shows the institution’s continued commitment to creating a career-oriented academic environment where learning takes place beyond the walls of the classrooms.

The deadline of October 2025 is approaching, but the university is still looking to make new strategic partnerships to grow its network of global partners. It is clear from the continuous activities of the university that it is striving to offer its students worldwide the possibility of not only utilizing their skills but also being a part of the industry via employment and thus empowering them to make a difference in international markets.
