German Cannabis Business Association (BvCW)

We are the voice of the German cannabis economy in Germany and represent all industry segments and company sizes in political institutions and administrations. Our departments are divided into "Industrial Hemp", "Medical Cannabis", "CBD and other Cannabinoids", "Technology, Trade & Services" and "Adult Use Regulation". We participate in specialized councils/committees of the ministries as well as hearings in the German Bundestag or the Federal Government. We bundle political, technological, and economic expertise in order to advocate for favorable political framework conditions. To this end, we organize events and address decision-makers directly. B2B EXCHANGE We help to exchange information and best-practice examples through departmental events, industry meetings and beyond. We create a variety of opportunities for dialogue with political institutions and authorities, associations, and foreign representatives in Germany. In addition, we offer publication opportunities, provide specialist information and develop quality standards for the cannabis industry. INFORMATION RECONNAISSANCE We do public relations work for cannabis as an economic good in order to normalize the public opinion about cannabis, spread knowledge about the enormous variety of uses of the plant and strengthen the public support for a reasonable market regulation. This includes press relations, sector-specific publications, public and internal newsletters, image campaigns, and presence at events, such as conferences and selected trade fairs. With the help of our members, we conduct market analyses and studies or support them in their preparation. For more information please contact us at kontakt@cannabiswirtschaft.de.
