HempTrade is operated under the auspices of the Poland-based Nakło Foundation, which supports environmental protection, entrepreneurship and thought leadership globally; and historical preservation, economic development, cultural and other community building activities at the local level. In both cases, hemp is a big part of what we do.
HempTrade is a part of the HempToday™ family of communications services which since 2014 has been helping stakeholders all over the world connect with each other, and to work together toward the common goal of a vibrant, well-functioning hemp industry. Our network stretches from Europe to North and South America, Asia and Africa. We offer a wide range of PR, marketing, design and other communications services specifically for the hemp industry.
Other Foundation activities
HempToday™ Center/Poland – Our Center is not only home to our family of HempToday™ media and communications services, but also a place for learning, inspiration and experimentation. Located in the Palace at Nakło in south central Poland, we also host a series of thought-leader mini-summits that bring together hemp industry stakeholders and experts from all over the world.
To Grow a Village is a private initiative for rural economic development located in south-central Poland. We believe growing industrial hemp and the development of low-level local hemp processing and manufacturing facilities holds great potential to expand the economies of Poland’s rural villages, towns and counties.
The Palace at Nakło Bed & Breakfast is one of Poland’s top rated bed & breakfasts, attracting guests to our beautiful part of Poland from all over the world. And when you stay with us, you’ll leave knowing you’ve helped save a bit of Polish history and contributed to the growth of our local economy. Your room fees go directly to The Nakło Foundation, which is dedicated to maintaining the Palace as a historical treasure under the protection of the Polish National Heritage Institute. The Foundation also supports a wide range of local economic development and cultural activities.
