Cannabis policy modernization efforts are spreading across Europe at an
increasing rate, with Germany continuing to serve as the continental
cannabis policy and industry leader. As Germany’s legal industry and other
European markets continue to expand, the International Cannabis Business
Conference (ICBC) remains at the heart of it all.

ICBC is once again bringing Europe’s largest and longest-running cannabis
B2B event to Berlin on April 13th-15th, 2026. ICBC Berlin 2026 will be held
at Germany’s largest conference and entertainment center, the iconic Estrel
Berlin Hotel. The schedule for ICBC Berlin 2026 will be released soon and
is sure to be packed with insightful and timely presentations from renowned
experts in their respective fields.

*Cannabis Policy & Market Momentum*

The medical cannabis industry in Germany continues to be the biggest winner
of the enactment of the CanG law, thanks to the removal of cannabis from
Germany’s Narcotics List. Between the first quarter of 2024 and the third
quarter of 2025, imports of medical cannabis products to Germany have
surged. Germany’s legal medical cannabis industry imported nearly 57 tonnes
of cannabis in just Q3 2025 alone.

Ancillary sectors of Germany’s emerging cannabis industry continue to
benefit from the nation’s historic 2024 CanG law, which permits adults to
cultivate, possess, and consume personal amounts of cannabis. Companies
that provide products and services focusing on home cultivation and
consumption are experiencing tremendous growth in Germany.

Germany’s cannabis industry is continuing its impressive growth, including
in the adult-use cannabis cultivation association sector. As of November
2025, local regulatory authorities in Germany had approved 357 adult-use
cultivation associations. Hundreds more cultivation association
applications are being processed across Germany.

*Industry Growth & Opportunities*

At the most recent International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin in
April 2025, leading international cannabis economist Beau Whitney presented
data highlighting that the total addressable global market value of the
international industrial hemp industry could be as much as $456.2 billion.
Additionally, Mr. Whitney estimated that the total global addressable
market value for medical and adult-use cannabis consumables is roughly
$237.8 billion.

A vast majority of the current global demand for hemp, medical, and
adult-use products remains untapped, with many markets either being
unregulated or still in the early stages of regulation. You can learn how
to get in on the ground floor of the most exciting industry on the planet
at ICBC Berlin 2026.
