ICBC Berlin 2025 | Full-circle moments in a maturing industry

This year’s convention felt different — more grounded, more strategic, and finally aligned with where this industry needs to go.

Even more meaningful for me was reconnecting with three key figures who helped shape my path:

Tony Levi — the one who brought me into cannabis. Our first venture, Plena Global Holdings, launched my career in this space. His instinct for opportunity and fearless approach to execution taught me what leadership looks like in emerging markets.

Stefan Martin Meyer — my go-to source for anything related to the science of the plant. He introduced me to the technical side of cannabis when most were still stuck on buzzwords. What I know today about genetics, formulation, and evidence-based production, I learned thanks to him.

Mike Dacks — whose sharp legal and strategic lens has always helped me make sense of the international landscape. Mike doesn’t just read regulation — he anticipates it, and he’s helped me stay several moves ahead in complex markets.

These men were mentors. Now they’re peers.

We’ve all taken different paths, but we share a clear commitment:

• Real science
• Smart regulation
• Sound business fundamentals
• Global models that actually work

This year’s InternationalCBC in Berlin, Germany has afforded Diplomat Consulting the opportunity to connect, collaborate, and stay ahead of the latest trends in the industry.

One of the highlights so far has been networking with our valued client @StefanLanger from GOC NEXUS GMBH.

We’re thrilled to have these face-to-face discussions to strengthen our partnerships in the ever-evolving cannabis landscape.

Ivan Ross is also serving as a presenter on the growing cannabis tourism industry so be sure to reach out and say hello! We’re always open to new ideas and partnerships.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!🚀

I had the privilege of attending the amazing #ICBC2025 medical cannabis conference in Berlin, Germany. The energy was electric, and the discussions were groundbreaking. I was honored to moderate a panel on “Opportunities in New Global Cannabis Markets,” where we explored the exciting future of this industry.

The conference was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues from the industry, share insights, and forge new connections. The passion and innovation in the room were truly inspiring, especially as we anticipate the “third wave” of cannabis growth in Europe. 🌿💡

Looking forward to continuing these conversations and seeing where the future of medical cannabis takes us! 🌱

🌿 ICBC Berlin 2025: the global cannabis industry’s key meeting point

Friends and colleagues, earlier this week, I returned from ICBC Berlin 2025, including Dmytro Bova and Ivan Kapustin, part of the AmA Invest team, and it was truly unforgettable. This event has every chance to become one of the most significant moments of the year in the global cannabis space, bringing together industry leaders worldwide under one roof.

From the very first moment I stepped into the conference hall, it was clear: ICBC is where the cannabis world meets bold ideas, global strategy, and new opportunities. You could feel it in the atmosphere. Kudos to the organizers, Alex Rogers — the professionalism, energy, and flawless execution were deeply impressive and truly inspiring.

Together with the AmA Invest team, we had the opportunity to connect with incredible leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs from across Europe and Canada. Our conversations about market trends, the regulatory landscape, investment strategies, and partnerships were not only insightful, they were truly motivating.

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who took the time and energy to meet with us. Your passion and vision are exactly what’s driving this industry forward. We’re looking into the future with optimism, big ideas, and an open door to new collaborations.

If we didn’t get a chance to meet in person, feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect!

Until next time, ICBC and I know this won’t be our last one 🙏

Berlin—and it was so much more than just a conference. It was a global convergence of insight, innovation, and shared momentum. 🌍💼

With attendees from over 80 countries, the conversations were rich, the connections intentional, and the sense of international collaboration stronger than ever. The support we felt from the global cannabis community was both humbling and energizing.

Now, we’re carrying that fire with us as we return to France this September 2025 for Science in the City International, Bordeaux, France Global Medical Cannabis Conference!
