InterTabac, NUBIZ and InterSupply 2026 will unite 800+ global exhibitors and top industry leaders in Dortmund to showcase the future of tobacco, NGP innovation, manufacturing and international trade.
Dortmund will once again become the meeting point for the international tobacco and NGP industry from September 15 to 17, 2026: InterTabac, NUBIZ and InterSupply will bring together more than 800 exhibitors from around the world across eleven exhibition halls, connecting manufacturers, distributors and service providers directly with top international decision-makers. Alongside established market leaders, innovative newcomers will showcase fresh ideas and new approaches that are set to enrich the industry.
The three trade shows cover the entire value chain of the tobacco and NGP sector, from tobacco products, e-cigarettes and oral products to pipes and shishas, as well as the production processes for tobacco and nicotine alternatives. The focus is on new products and technologies, current market developments and trends, as well as concrete business opportunities, not least because many companies use the platform specifically to launch innovations and present them for the first time to a knowledgeable professional audience.
Trade visitors will have the opportunity to experience, compare and evaluate product ranges, innovations and developments in a real market environment, while discussing quality, international supply capabilities and regulatory requirements in direct conversations. InterTabac, NUBIZ and InterSupply offer decision-makers from retail, wholesale and distribution and also from manufacturing, processing and development an exclusive opportunity to test products on site and experience them first-hand, an ideal basis for assessing innovations at an early stage, making well-informed, forward-looking decisions, and strategically developing their own portfolios.

The scale of the event becomes even clearer when compared with other major industry gatherings. Even World Tobacco Middle East 2024, held in Dubai, attracted around 250 stakeholders and professionals from the tobacco industry. InterTabac alone, however, is expected to host more than 800 exhibitors, highlighting the level of global participation and influence the event commands within the sector.
While B2B tobacco trade shows have continued to grow across different regions, including events hosted at the Dubai World Trade Centre, InterTabac is still widely regarded within the industry as the most established and professionally recognised international platform for the tobacco and NGP business community. Over the years, the event has built a reputation not only for its scale, but also for the quality of networking, product discovery and business opportunities it creates for professionals from around the world.
Beyond the exhibition halls, the diverse conference program offers deeper insight into the issues currently shaping the future of the industry. Topics range from global regulation and market analysis to innovation, sustainability, harm reduction and retail transformation. Leading experts from academia, trade and industry will share their perspectives through keynotes, panel discussions and interactive workshops designed to deliver practical knowledge and real market insight. Supported by strong industry partners and associations from multiple sectors, Messe Dortmund continues to strengthen the event’s role as a serious business and knowledge platform.

The experience is further expanded through focused side events and networking formats that encourage meaningful business connections in a professional setting. Whether it is the Cigar Culture Summit taking place before the trade show, the PouchXchange dedicated to oral nicotine products, or the InterTabac World Alternative Awards recognising innovation and achievement in the NGP sector, each format adds a targeted layer of engagement for international participants. These gatherings provide industry professionals with direct access to discussions, partnerships and ideas that can help drive long-term business growth.
For companies, distributors and professionals looking to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market, InterTabac, NUBIZ and InterSupply 2026 represent far more than a conventional trade exhibition. The event has increasingly become a global meeting point where trends are introduced, partnerships are formed and future market directions begin to take shape.
Anyone who wants to actively shape the future of the industry should mark this date: tickets for the trade shows and also for the side events are already available, offering early access to one of the most important international industry gatherings of the year. A visit is worthwhile for anyone who not only wants to observe trends, but to help shape them.
