ICBC returns to Berlin on April 16th and 17th

It is one of the largest and most recognized B2B conferences on cannabis in Europe and returns to Berlin on the 16th and 17th of April, at the Hotel Estrel, after another successful event em Barcelona, last month, on the occasion of Spannabis. In addition to the B2B event, the International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC) will also co-host the Talman Global Investment Forum in Berlin on April 15th at the Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin. More than 5.000 cannabis leaders from over 80 countries will be represented at this event.

The historic political change that came into effect this week with the legalization of cannabis in Germany ushers in a new era for Europe's emerging cannabis industry. The timing couldn't be more perfect for the return of the International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC) in Berlin on April 16-17 at the iconic Estrel Berlin Hotel.

The emerging legal cannabis industry is becoming a global phenomenon, with more nations than ever modernizing their cannabis policies to allow for legal cannabis research and trade. This spread of policy reform has, in turn, created enormous potential internationally for entrepreneurs, investors and service providers in the cannabis industry.

Cannabis industry could be worth more than 60 billion euros in 2025
Euromonitor International estimates that the emerging global cannabis industry is currently worth €51,4 billion, with this figure expected to exceed €60 billion by 2025. The German cannabis industry is currently estimated to be worth almost €1,2 billion of euros. With legalization, this number is expected to increase considerably in the coming years. “The legal industry no longer operates in regional silos, and a major challenge facing the emerging international cannabis industry today is the difficulty of establishing effective contacts with people around the world. The International Cannabis Business Conference and the Talman Global Investment Forum in Berlin are the perfect networking opportunities, taking place right in the middle of the history of cannabis in Europe”, says the ICBC organization in a press release.

ICBC is also known for its lively VIP after parties

ICBC is one of the leading international cannabis B2B event series, with conferences taking place in multiple countries and on multiple continents, operated by professionals who believe in celebrating cannabis culture, as well as providing industry education and opportunities to networking.
Alex Rogers, founder of ICBC, states that “this year’s International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin will be even more special for our team, given the historical context. We are excited to provide world-class cannabis industry and political education, networking and entertainment for participants at such a historic moment for the emerging cannabis industry in Germany and Europe.” With executives, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and industry service providers converging from across the planet, ICBC in Berlin is the perfect place to do brainstorming of ideas on the global cannabis stage, without forgetting the usual VIP after party for more relaxed and informal moments of conviviality.

GIF – Global Investment Forum – precedes ICBC
O Talman Global Investment Forum (GIF), in Berlin, which will be held on April 15th, at the iconic Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin, is focused on investors and precedes the ICBC on the following two days. Held on the eve of the main event, GIF will bring together true leaders from key sectors and companies in the emerging cannabis space. The objective of this event is to facilitate networking meaningful, provide timely education, and stimulate potential deal flow among participants. Rising industrial sectors will be the main focus of the event, with speakers discussing how these areas fit into the broader industrial ecosystem.

“We know how difficult it is for quality investors to connect with vetted companies in the cannabis industry that offer valuable investment opportunities,” said Alex Rogers. “That's why we bring the Talman Global Investment Forum back to Berlin. It will be an excellent opportunity to networking for investors, entrepreneurs and service providers in the cannabis industry.”
