LISBON, PORTUGAL, May 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SOMAÍ, a leading EU-GMP-certified vertically integrated Multi-Country Operator (MCO) specializing in cannabinoid-based medicines, today announced the signing of an exclusive partnership agreement with IPS Pharma, a premier importer, distributor, and pharmacy, and Integro Clinics, a UK-based online medical clinic specialising in expert consultations for medical cannabis treatment, to introduce a portfolio of internationally recognized cannabis brands into the United Kingdom medical cannabis market.The collaboration brings together SOMAÍ’s EU-GMP manufacturing and global brand partnerships with IPS Pharma’s pharmaceutical distribution infrastructure and Integro Clinics’ established patient access platform, creating an integrated pathway for the introduction of differentiated cannabinoid-based products into the UK.
The agreement covers the future launch of three globally recognized cannabis brands into the UK medical market in the coming months, representing a significant expansion of differentiated cannabinoid product offerings available to UK healthcare professionals and patients.

Expanding Access to Differentiated Cannabis Brands
The UK continues to emerge as one of Europe’s most important medical cannabis markets, with increasing demand for compliant, high-quality cannabinoid products supported by reliable supply chains and patient-focused clinical infrastructure.
Through this partnership, SOMAÍ, IPS Pharma, and Integro Clinics aim to expand access to differentiated formulations and delivery formats while maintaining pharmaceutical-grade standards throughout manufacturing, distribution, and patient access pathways.
Building the Next Phase of UK Medical Cannabis
The agreement reflects a broader shift within the medical cannabis industry toward stronger collaboration between manufacturers, distributors, and clinical providers to improve product access and patient experience.
“The UK market is continuing to mature rapidly, and new patient demographics are increasingly looking for differentiated products backed by advanced pharmaceutical-grade producers,” said Michael Sassano, Founder and Interim CEO of SOMAÍ. “This partnership creates a strong foundation for introducing some of the industry’s most recognized international brands with unique genetic portfolios into the UK medical market.”
“At IPS Pharma and Integro Clinics, our focus has always been on improving patient access to safe, compliant, and high-quality cannabinoid medicines,” said Ashok Patel, Founder and Chairman of IPS Pharma. “Working together with SOMAÍ allows us to support the introduction of globally recognized brands through a structured and patient-focused approach.”
The partnership reflects SOMAÍ’s continued strategy of building a global platform for cannabinoid-based medicines by connecting leading international brands with regulated medical markets through EU-GMP manufacturing, strategic distribution partnerships, and clinical access networks.
