[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.

The session will be hosted by Alan Zhao, Co-founder & CEO of 2Firsts, together with the 2Firsts research and editorial team, including Global Editor in Chief Taco Tuinstra, who will join either on-site or via remote link. Additional distinguished guest speakers will also participate, including William Wu, Deputy Head of the Research Institute at Tianfeng Securities, with more speakers to be announced soon.
As an international media and research platform dedicated to the NGP industry and tobacco harm reduction, 2Firsts has successfully organized multiple seminars and industry events in Shenzhen, China, earlier this year. Its debut at InterTabac marks a new milestone for 2Firsts Events as it steps onto the global stage, further fostering international dialogue across industry, policy, science, capital, and media.
We warmly invite industry peers, partners, and media to join us in exploring the future of the NGP industry.
Event Time: September 19, 2025 | 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM
Event Venue: InterTabac Exhibition, Nowgorod Room (North Entrance), Dortmund, Germany
