healthcare businesses with leading European and APAC investors and funds.Keynote presentation by Professor David Nutt, Director of
Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, and other renowned industry
experts will share key insights to promote the potential of psychedelics in
mainstream medicine.16th April 2021, London - PSYCH, the premier market intelligence and events firm that
aims to unlock the potential of psychedelics in healthcare, is launching the PSYCH Investor
Summit: Europe & Asia. The virtual event, powered by industry-leaders in cannabis and
psychedelics data intelligence Prohibition Partners, aims to promote the potential of
psychedelics in the healthcare industry and provide businesses the opportunity to showcase
their projects directly to European and APAC investors and funds.In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of mental health is increasingly
in the spotlight, and as consumers look for new options to improve their mental health, the
growing significance of the potential of psychedelics is pushing the healthcare industry to
respond with solutions. The global psychedelics industry is expected to be worth over
US$100 billion, and as attitudes towards psychedelics shift dramatically, we are witnessing
an international rise in clinical trials, academic research and commercial investment.The PSYCH Investor Summit: Europe & Asia, taking place on the 21st April, will examine
how new therapies are tackling the mental health pandemic, why microdosing is set to
disrupt the mainstream and how legislation is expected to develop in seminal markets.
Participants will also have the opportunity to engage with distinguished industry leaders,
rising entrepreneurs and global psychedelics investors to share insights and help push
forward this increasingly relevant industry.According to PSYCH co-founder Stephen Murphy, “The heightened focus on finding better
solutions for mental health conditions that psychedelics can treat, combined with a wave of
ongoing research that is coming to fruition, is leading to rapid rates of acceptance in
mainstream medicine and increased investor interest. As an industry backed by science with
the potential to revolutionise healthcare, PSYCH's purpose is to contribute to the
advancement of this emerging frontier, while supporting the growth of businesses and giving
them the opportunity to achieve global recognition for their groundbreaking
accomplishments.”Following on from the success of previous Prohibition Partners virtual events in 2020, which
saw over 2,500 delegates attend to hear from over 270 speakers, the PSYCH keynote
speech will be given by renowned Professor David Nutt, Director of
Neuropsychopharmacology, Imperial College London, and Head of Research, Awakn Life
Sciences, who will guide the audience through the exciting developments within the industry
and the pioneering research being carried out across Psychedelic Medicine in Europe.
