Anyone aiming to succeed in the market for alternative products needs up-to-date market information, strong business partners and direct access to the industry’s key decision-makers. This is exactly where NUBIZ comes in: trade visitors receive a comprehensive overview of new products, market trends and international developments – all in one place. At the same time, they gain valuable inspiration for expanding their product ranges and unlocking new sales potential.
As part of the InterTabac and InterSupply exhibition world, visitors also benefit from an international business environment featuring around 800 exhibitors from across the globe. The combination of exhibition, conference programme and networking opportunities makes NUBIZ an important platform for manufacturers, retailers, buyers and distributors.
Exhibitors in the vaping segment include companies such as Fox Electronics FZ LLC, Flerbar, HQD, Vaporesso, TRULO, Fumot, AirScream, Intrade Concepts and InnoCigs. Companies showcasing oral products such as pouches and snus include SnusGlobe, Camo Snus, Premium Pouch Finland, Nicopods ehf (ICE) and first-time exhibitor ALP Supply.
Visitors gain transparent insights into quality standards, regulations, pricing structures and supply conditions. In addition, NUBIZ offers the opportunity to test and compare products directly on site – a decisive advantage for purchasing and assortment decisions. These insights are further enhanced by the extensive supporting program of the trade show trio. High-profile keynotes, panels and masterclasses provide in-depth perspectives on topics such as international regulations, current market developments, sustainability and tobacco harm reduction. The program is complemented by dedicated networking formats that create space for discussions with industry insiders, the initiation of new business contacts and exchanges on current product trends.
The first side event, PouchXchange, takes place on the opening day of the trade show, 15 September. Organised in cooperation with the Global Institute for Novel Nicotine (GINN) and supported by industry sponsors, the event focuses entirely on nicotine pouches and snus. Now entering its third edition, PouchXchange has established itself as a recognised platform for in-depth insights into global market trends, regulatory developments and current industry challenges. Participants benefit from practical impulses for their day-to-day business while strengthening their international network.
The second day of the trade fair, 16 September, concludes with an event that, like PouchXchange, made its debut in 2024. The InterTabac World Alternative Awards place a clear focus on innovations in the reduced-risk tobacco and nicotine segment. Manufacturers, brand representatives, distributors and key decision-makers come together to celebrate pioneering products and exchange ideas with industry peers. At the same time, the awards provide an exciting outlook on the innovations and trends that are expected to shape the future of the industry. A total of ten awards will be presented across the four main categories “Pouch Products”, “Vape & Vapor Solutions”, “Next Generation & Reduced Risk Products” and “Brand & Market Impact”. Companies can already submit nominations for their products and brands online. The winners will be determined not only by an expert jury comprising representatives from business, research and media, but also by the industry itself, with online voting open to the public.
Tickets for both side events are already available in the online shop.
With its combination of international exhibition, in-depth industry expertise and exclusive networking opportunities, NUBIZ delivers real benefits for trade visitors – once again making Dortmund a key meeting point for the global next-generation products industry this September.
