[September 15, 2025] Global NGP media and research platform 2Firsts announced that it will host a special forum at the InterTabac exhibition in Dortmund, Germany, on the afternoon of September 19, 2025. The event, titled 2Firsts Connect @ InterTabac: From Change to Opportunity, has received strong support from the organizers and will be an integral part of the InterTabac Conference.

 

The global NGP industry and tobacco harm reduction are undergoing profound transformation. The sector urgently needs to address the “big questions” and “new trends,” inspiring fresh thinking and concrete action to support more sustainable global development and to remain true to the mission of harm reduction.

 

Against this backdrop, 2Firsts Connect @ InterTabac will focus on industry trends and opportunities, covering topics such as global e-cigarette product innovations, China’s supply chain and regulatory dynamics, the U.S. market transition, global THR strategies, and capital market perspectives. Drawing on 2Firsts’ extensive global reporting and research, the session will deliver both exclusive and forward-looking insights.
