By HempBuild Mag

German hempcrete builders will welcome international hempcrete designers, builders and suppliers at a free open house event in June in a cutting-edge tech startup hub.

Members of Berlin-based CannaBau Technik will host an informal gathering 11 June at the Hemp Building Meetup Berlin at the .GUT am Flughafen 1 a tech startup hub created in the repurposed Tegel airport in Berlin.

The event is a satellite networking event aligned with the 22nd Annual European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) Conference.

“So far we’re expecting hemp building pros from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and the UK, and more to come,” said co-organizer and HempBuildMag publisher Jean Lotus. Additionally, German local politicians, curious builders and other tech companies at the startup hub have received invitations, she said.
