Enter Global South cannabis markets.
With intelligence, access and support to move.
Outsource your international business development to ISC. NEXUS replaces fragmented market research, country-by-country consultants and cold outreach with one team that identifies where your company is needed, validates the opportunity locally and moves the commercial work toward a decision.
Identify your next priority market.
ISC accepts a limited number of NEXUS missions each year →You bring the ambition.
ISC coordinates the next move.
Whether you sell cannabis or hemp products, equipment, software or specialist services, the challenge is the same: find a relevant need and a credible route to the right buyer or partner.
Know what is worth pursuing.
We match a documented need to your offer, check the timing and identify the conditions that must be met before you commit.
Put a team behind the objective.
Your ISC lead coordinates local verification, relevant introductions, meeting preparation, proposals and negotiation support within the agreed scope.
See the work. Choose the next move.
Follow actions, evidence and blockers. If the first route stalls, ISC presents the options and you decide whether to continue or change objectives.

One global system.
The gaps that create demand.
Our technology and operating method structure every monitored jurisdiction by market phase, regulatory requirements, missing infrastructure, existing suppliers and decision pathways. NEXUS then matches the gaps to companies equipped to solve them.
A continuously updated model of cannabis and hemp markets worldwide.
Legislation is only the first signal. NEXUS tracks what a market must build next, what is already available, who can decide and what still needs field verification.
Opportunities created by what a market needs next.
The result is a pipeline of concrete, company-specific routes rather than a general list of promising countries.
Public systems and institutional capacity.
Traceability, licensing infrastructure, compliance technology, testing frameworks, training and advisory needs that may lead to pilots, partnerships or public procurement.
Infrastructure the industry cannot operate without.
Missing laboratories, processing, distribution, logistics, finance, data and specialist services required as a market moves from rules to operations.
Products and capabilities the market lacks.
Insufficient local supply, unavailable equipment, technology or expertise, and distribution needs that create a credible route for qualified international companies.
One signal. Its commercial meaning. The next move.
Delivered around your offer and active objective, with evidence and changes that matter to your decision.
The International Society of Cannabis.
Where policy, industry and markets meet.
ISC connects policy, science, capital and industry across the Global South. Its government advisory offering spans regulatory design, institutional readiness and international positioning. Nexus brings that market context into your company's commercial mission.

A wider view. Local support for your mission.
We monitor the wider landscape and focus execution where ISC can support your objective. Relevant relationships, local availability and the scope of support are confirmed before your mission starts.
Our monitoring helps identify relevant changes and alternative routes. The map shows the markets tracked; it does not imply equal local access in every jurisdiction.
One membership.
Aligned on every deal.
US$10,000 gives your company 12 months inside NEXUS. Deal-specific economics are agreed only when you choose to pursue a validated opportunity.
Four ways to enter a new market.
The difference is who owns the coordination after the opportunity is identified.
Access the engine. Put ISC behind your next market.
- 12 months of NEXUS market intelligence and opportunity access
- Company-specific opportunity qualification
- One active Live Objective and your Opportunities workspace
- A named ISC lead and confirmed local support
- Your tailored weekly regulatory and commercial brief
- Client-approved reorientation when priorities or conditions change
A success fee, equity participation or another deal-specific structure may apply. The scope and economics are agreed with you in writing, case by case, before the transaction work begins.
Any success fee, equity participation or deal-specific fee requires a separate written agreement.
A clear scope. Clear expectations.
Membership includes 12 months of NEXUS intelligence, company-specific opportunity qualification, a named ISC lead, confirmed local support, one active Live Objective, your Opportunities workspace and a tailored weekly brief. When a validated opportunity becomes a specific transaction mandate, its scope and economics are agreed separately.
The NEXUS membership is US$10,000 for 12 months. Payment terms are confirmed in the membership agreement. The membership fee remains separate from any success fee, equity participation or transaction-specific agreement.
ISC documents the blocker and presents the options. You decide whether to continue, wait or replace the objective. We work on one objective at a time, retain the history and continue for the remaining annual term. A change does not restart the contract.
ISC commits to the work and support defined in your mission. Buyers, partners and public authorities retain their decisions. Introductions depend on mutual interest, and a signed contract, licence or funding decision cannot be guaranteed.
When you choose to pursue a validated transaction—such as a public programme, tender, distribution agreement or strategic partnership—ISC proposes the appropriate scope and economic structure. This may be a success fee, equity participation or another case-specific agreement. Exceptional travel, legal work and third-party costs also require prior approval.
Your website, offer, preferred markets and timing inform a report displayed here: up to three preliminary routes, a priority where the evidence supports one, the main unknowns and a next verification step. You can save it and request an ISC review. No card or annual commitment is required.
Your next market deserves
a clear first move.
Enter your website, confirm your offer and answer three questions. See your priority routes, then decide which to explore with ISC.
