Recorded live at ICBC Berlin 2026, Chuck sits down with Sergio Martinez, CEO of Blimburn Seeds and BBG Projects, to discuss the evolution of one of the cannabis industry’s most established international seed companies.
Martinez shares how an unexpected opportunity brought him into the industry more than two decades ago and eventually led to the creation of Blimburn Seeds. What began as a European wholesale operation has since evolved into a global e-commerce, logistics, and cannabis genetics business, with the United States becoming one of its largest markets.
The conversation explores Germany’s legalization and its impact on seed sales, the enduring importance of home cultivation, and why Martinez expects other European countries to follow Germany’s lead. He also explains how Blimburn supports growers through direct-to-consumer service, educational resources, fresh genetics, and detailed online grow diaries.
Martinez also discusses the growing role of artificial intelligence within the company, why human oversight remains essential, and how economic uncertainty is shaping Blimburn’s conservative approach to expansion. The episode concludes with a look at Latin America’s long-term potential and the regulatory challenges facing cannabis companies operating across international markets.
