Jeffrey Tang
CEO/ Director of Asia, Hemp Australia Pty Ltd Non-Executive & Head of Asia, Botanic Wellness Limited University of New South Wales Alumnus Sydney based |

Jeffrey Tang is an industrial hemp entrepreneur and legitimate cannabis pioneer since 2013 with a particular focus on Australasian relations and opportunities. He is the CEO and Founder of Hemp Australia Pty Ltd. He is also the Non-Executive Director and Head of Asia for Botanic Wellness Limited. At a time when the merits of hemp to humankind and the environment had long been forgotten, and even demonised by society (alongside its marijuana cousin), Jeffrey has overcome the criticism of many people, especially his Chinese peers to emerge as an active/dedicated proponent/supporter/promoter of the cannabis industry. Today, as one of a select few people in the hemp industry with a Chinese background, Jeffrey continues to bridge relations between the Australian and Chinese hemp industries, and the wider international community to facilitate hemp education and innovation, (international) academic exchange and quality hemp projects. As well, he is a start-up venture capital investor and is skilled in negotiation, business planning and development, investor relations, international business, and global sourcing. Jeffrey believes that the cannabis industry is unique with the potential and power to change and save the planet. His goal and vision is to raise awareness of this complex and fast-growing industry, and to develop healthy, high quality and environmentally sustainable hemp/cannabis products to benefit society whilst protecting our precious, fragile planet at such a critical time. Jeffrey Tang 自 2013 年以来一直是工业大麻和合法大麻产业的企业家先锋，尤其专注于澳大利亚和亚太工业大麻行业的发展和契机。 他是汉麻澳洲（Hemp Australia）的创始人和首席执行官，也是 Botanic Wellness Limited 的非执行董事兼亚洲负责人。 在人们早已忘记了大麻对人类和环境的好处，甚至被主流社会长期广泛定义为非法并妖魔化的情况下，Jeffrey 承受并克服了许多人，尤其包括亲人和朋友的批评和质疑，他成为中国同龄人之中最活跃的工业大麻行业奉献者，支持者和促进者。 如今，作为工业/药用大麻行业世界范围内少数拥有中国背景的几个人之一，Jeffrey 持续增进澳大利亚，中国以及世界工业大麻行业的交流，以促进大麻行业教育和创新，并与更广泛的国际社会建立架起沟通的桥梁，参与（国际）学术交流和优质大麻项目。同时，他还是一个独具慧眼的新兴行业风险投资人，擅长谈判、业务规划和开发、投资者关系、国际贸易业务和全球采购。 Back to Top |
