Aether Pacific Pharmaceuticals, formerly Medical Kiwi. New Website Coming Soon.

We’re helping to change the way the world delivers its health outcomes

More and more people are realising the benefits of plant-based remedies and alternative therapies. And their experiences are supported by a growing library of medical research which continues to identify the therapeutic benefits and pharmaceutical uses of medicinal cannabis and CBD for a range of ailments and conditions.

Like you, we’ve been watching with interest as countries around the world open up access to medicinal cannabis and CBD wellbeing products. We’ve read the research, talked with start-up companies and listened to the amazing stories from those using these products about the significantly positive impact it has had on their lives. Medical cannabis and CBD is part of a long overdue health and wellbeing revolution that replaces so many other pharmaceuticals and will benefit millions of people. We’re excited about the opportunity to bring these products to market in New Zealand and globally.

We’re ready!

Medical Kiwi has:

  • built a strong health-based, scientific and business savvy team
  • developed a clear plan for research, product development and distribution
  • successfully raised our initial seed fund capital and crowdfunding equity
  • signed partnership agreements with global industry-leading companies
  • completed the fit-out and commenced cultivation to GACP and GMP standards
  • been granted a Medicinal Cannabis licence from the Ministry of Health to cultivate, manufacture and supply medicinal cannabis.

Medical Kiwi is in a unique position as one of a handful of New Zealand companies poised to create value and carve out a significant share of this emerging and exciting global industry, estimated to reach a value of USD $150 billion by 2025. (Grand View Research, April 2018)
