RoundTable 1

Capital Efficiency in Medicinal Cannabis: Where to Invest, Where to Save, Where to Scale?

This roundtable would focus on one of the most urgent questions facing the sector today: how companies can allocate capital more intelligently in a market that is becoming more disciplined, competitive and margin-sensitive. The discussion can explore where investment is actually delivering returns — from cultivation and automation to GMP, post-harvest, data systems and export strategy — and where businesses may still be overspending. This is a highly practical panel with strong appeal for CEOs, founders, operators, consultants and investors, because it moves beyond abstract growth narratives and into real business decision-making.

Moderator: Ben Stevens; SPEAKERS: Finn Hänsel (Sanity Group); Ana Serrato (EUMCA); Ideal speaker mix: CEO or founder of a profitable or well-structured cannabis company; Investor, advisor or M&A specialist; CFO, finance strategist or scaling consultant ; Operations or technology leader focused on efficiency and performance

RoundTable 2

Sustainable Growth: Building the Next Generation of Cannabis Products & Operations

This roundtable would bring together cultivation, lighting, software, traceability, engineering and operational strategy under one future-focused theme: how to build smarter, more resilient cannabis businesses. Rather than discussing cultivation in a basic way, the panel would focus on the next generation of operations — automation, data integration, environmental control, infrastructure efficiency, process optimisation and connected systems. This would make it highly relevant to suppliers, producers, technology firms and operational decision-makers. It is a strong panel because it addresses how businesses can improve margins, consistency and resilience through better systems and better design.

Moderator: Moritz Forster; SPEAKERS: Gonçalo (Lumatek); Nigel (NovaSoma); Daniel Cook (True Terpenes); Luís Meirinhos (xx) Ideal speaker mix: Cultivation or operations executive; Lighting or environmental control specialist; Software or traceability expert; Facility design, engineering or process optimisation specialist

RoundTable 3

Destination Cannabis: Travel, Wellness and Investment Opportunities in Health Tourism

This roundtable would open a new and exciting dimension for PTMC by looking at cannabis not only as a product or therapy, but as part of a growing experience economy that intersects with tourism, wellness, hospitality and investment. The session could explore how countries, regions and operators are approaching cannabis-related travel, wellness experiences, health tourism and premium hospitality models, as well as what this could mean for future business opportunities in Europe. It also creates space to discuss cannabis tourism in a broader sense — not only direct consumption-driven tourism, but also wellness retreats, educational travel, destination branding, patient mobility and cannabis-adjacent hospitality models. This panel has the potential to attract strong interest because it connects cannabis with one of the world’s most dynamic sectors: travel and experiences.

Moderator: Laura Ramos. SPEAKERS: Brian Applegarth; Ideal speaker mix: Hospitality or tourism investor/operator; Representative from a market with experience in cannabis tourism or cannabis-related wellness models; Specialist in health tourism or wellness travel; Entrepreneur or consultant developing cannabis-adjacent experience businesses

Special VIP Session (RoundTable 5)

Is Portugal ready to regulate adult use? Why and why not?

This invitation-led roundtable would bring together senior stakeholders for a high-level discussion on one of the most debated policy questions in Portugal: whether the country is ready to move towards adult-use cannabis regulation. The session could explore political readiness, social acceptance, economic opportunity, public health concerns, regulatory design and lessons from international markets. To be truly valuable, the discussion should move beyond ideology and focus on what realistic regulation might require - and what obstacles remain.

Moderator: Laura Ramos and Alfredo Pascual. SPEAKERS: Grupos Parlamentares
