Germany’s cannabis industry is going off this year, and RMR will have our eyes on Berlin as it hosts the biggest cannabis B2B event in Europe — the International Cannabis Business Conference (ICBC 2025) on April 29-30, 2025.
The ICBC isn’t just another trade show. This is the spot where the business in Europe meets meets, talking regulation and innovation. Held at the iconic Estrel Berlin Hotel, ICBC Berlin is packed with panels, networking events, celebrity meetups, speed networking, lounges, and even an on-site consumption area.
The timing couldn’t be better. Germany’s new CanG law is reshaping the entire market. Home grow is now legal (up to three plants), and cannabis cultivation associations are launching across the country. Just in North Rhine-Westphalia, over 3,000 cultivation groups are expected — yeah, that’s massive.
After attending Mary Jane and ICBC in Berlin last year shortly after adult use passed, we were able to experience the excitement in the market. That excitement has resonated across the continent of Europe and feels very reminiscent of the early days of legalization progress on the West Coast of the US.
Medical Cannabis Boom Highlighted at ICBC 2025
Medical cannabis is also booming. Since cannabis was removed from the Narcotics List last April, prescriptions have skyrocketed. Bloomwell Group reported an increase in prescriptions for medical cannabis in Germany by roughly 1,000% between March 2024 and December 2024! Industry insiders are already projecting up to 5 million medical patients in the coming years. The market? It could hit €1.7 billion by the end of 2025.
Whether you’re building your brand, looking to source world class genetics, or ready to go international, ICBC 2025 in Berlin is where you’ll want to be. Over 5,000 professionals from 80+ countries are expected. It’s your best chance to connect with the top minds (and money) in European cannabis.
