INTRODUCTION TO OUR COMPANY
Gravitas Infinitum is taking advantage of unprecedented opportunities by developing the Hemp Economy Services Platform which includes business services, whole hemp plant processing using our advanced proprietary technology, and cloud-based customer-centric software under the Gravitas Kannavis (GK) brand.
In 2014, Hemp was legalized by the US Federal Government and currently being legalized across most states. The 2018 Farm Bill reclassified hemp, and it is now legal to grow industrial hemp. USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) announced a rule that outlines how states can submit plans that will enable producers to grow hemp in those areas. The worldwide market for industrial hemp was estimated to be over $6 billion and growing in 2019 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% or greater. In addition to favorable changes in U.S. law, the hemp market is benefiting from growing consumer awareness and demand for hemp-based food and a wide-range of industrial products.
Our rapid progress and overwhelming acceptance of the “10 Steps To Hemp Success” model, highlights an industry-wide need for advanced hemp processing, our ability to fill that with a technically superior and scalable approach.
The US hemp industry is poised for rapid growth. It is being assembled by millions of people with little standardization, structure, and transparency. Herein lies what marketing analysts believe is one of the largest economic opportunities is the U.S. We are utilizing our experience in bringing technological innovation and building industry-wide business services platforms to successfully enter and capture a significant share of this emerging market, what many call the new “Hemp Economy”.
Gravitas brings six core strengths to fulfill the industry needs with our Hemp Economy Services Platform. These are; Purchasing Power Aggregation, Logistics Aggregation, Digital Marketing, Sales/Advertising, and Digital Transformation, Automation of business functions and Social Responsibility Values. These are areas that many businesses typically don't invest in or focus on until much later in their growth cycle. We are applying these six core strengths to a new industry that has a positive worldwide impact.
