On May 28, 2026, CannaTech invites you once again to Tel Aviv – the country’s most important specialist conference on medical cannabis. Israel has established itself as a global hub for cannabinoid-based research, and this event is the meeting place for scientists, physicians, regulatory experts, investors, and entrepreneurs participating in this development. Whether you’re interested in the medical applications of cannabis or want to build business connections in this sector, you’ll find a high-caliber network here.
What to expect
CannaTech combines scientific depth with practical business content. The program covers clinical research – for example on pain management, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, and oncology. In parallel, there are sessions on pharmaceutical product development, regulatory changes in Europe and North America, and financing questions for start-ups and established companies.
A special feature is the pitch sessions, where young companies present their technologies and business models to an international audience. In addition, there are lab visits, investor evenings, and informal networking meetings – the format is deliberately designed for intensive contacts, not mass audiences.
The target audience ranges from pharmaceutical researchers to clinic directors to venture capital providers. German and European companies that want to exchange with Israeli partners will also find an efficient entry point into the Israeli ecosystem here.
Location and travel
The conference takes place in Tel Aviv; the exact venue will be announced soon. Tel Aviv is Israel’s economic and cultural center and has good international flight connections. Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is located about 15 kilometers south and is accessible by train and shuttle. The city itself is compact and easy to navigate by public transport or taxi.
For European travelers, it’s recommended to plan your arrival a few days in advance – not only because of the flight duration, but also to get to know the city and the Israeli research environment.
Tickets and prices
Ticket details and pricing models will be published shortly on the event page. In previous years, CannaTech offered various categories – from day tickets to multi-day passes. Early bird discounts were common and sold out quickly. It’s worth keeping an eye on the official website and registering early, as the conference regularly reaches its capacity limits.
Why this event?
Israel is not by chance a hotspot for cannabis research. The country has a long tradition in basic research, progressive regulation, and access to patient populations for clinical trials. CannaTech is the place where this expertise becomes visible – here researchers working on the next therapeutic breakthroughs meet investors who finance these developments.
For professionals from Germany and Europe, the conference offers a rare overview of the state of medical cannabis research outside the European regulatory framework. Conversations with Israeli partners can launch long-term collaborations in research and product development. At the same time, Tel Aviv is a vibrant city with a rich cultural offering – the conference can easily be combined with a trip.
