The modernization of cannabis policies is spreading throughout Europe, and Germany continues to be the leader in Europe for both policy and industry. International Cannabis Business Conference, or ICBC for short, remains the hub of Germany’s growing legal marijuana industry as well other European markets.
ICBC will bring Europe’s biggest and longest running cannabis B2B show to Berlin from April 13th to 15th 2026. ICBC Berlin is being held in Germany’s most prestigious conference and entertainment venue, the Estrel Berlin Hotel. ICBC Berlin’s schedule will be announced soon. It is certain to include insightful presentations by experts from their fields.
Cannabis Policy & Market Momentum
Medical cannabis in Germany is still the largest beneficiary of CanG, thanks to its removal from Germany’s Narcotics Liste. The imports to Germany of medical cannabis products have increased dramatically between the first quarter 2024 and the last quarter 2025. Germany’s legal cannabis medical industry imported almost 57 tonnes in Q3 2025.
Ancillary segments of Germany’s growing cannabis industry benefit from Germany’s 2024 CanG Law, which allows adult cannabis consumers to possess, cultivate and consume their own personal quantities. Germany is a boomland for companies offering products and service focusing on the home cultivation of cannabis and its consumption.
The German cannabis sector continues to grow, and this is also true in the area of adult-use cannabis cultivators associations. In November 2025, the German local regulatory authority had approved 357 adult use cultivation associations. In Germany, hundreds of cultivation association requests are currently being reviewed.

Industry Growth & Opportunities
Beau Whitney, a leading international cannabis expert who presented at the International Cannabis Business Conference held in Berlin in 2025 the data that showed the global industrial hemp market could have a total value as high as $456 billion. Whitney’s estimate of the market size for adult and medical cannabis is $237.8billion.
Many markets are still unregulated, or in their early stages, of regulation, which means that a large portion of global hemp demand, including for medical and adult products, is untapped. ICBC Berlin 2020 will teach you how to be on the front lines of this exciting new industry.
