From September 24 to 26, 2024, the Global Tobacco and Nicotine Forum (GTNF) was successfully held in Athens, Greece, a city known for its rich history, culture, and stunning natural scenery. This year's forum centered on the theme of "Advancing Responsible Innovation," aiming to promote the global tobacco industry’s transition toward a more sustainable and responsible future.

For the third consecutive year, Zinwi Bio was invited to participate in this influential event. As a prominent sponsor and participant, the company once again demonstrated its profound expertise and forward-looking vision in the e-liquid and emerging tobacco sectors.

During the panel discussions, Haley, the company’s Global Communications Director, shared Zinwi Bio’s unique insights and cutting-edge practices on key topics such as sustainable raw material innovation, nicotine alternatives, return on investment in innovation, compliance innovation, next-generation products (NGPs), and the protection of minors.

In addition to participating in discussions, Zinwi Bio was honored as a distinguished sponsor of the GTNF Forum and thoughtfully prepared creative gift sets for the attendees, showcasing the company’s professional competence and sense of responsibility within the industry.

Key Highlights

Sustainable Raw Material Innovation: Leading the Future of Development

In the discussion on “Sustainable Innovation in Raw Materials,” a spokesperson from Zinwi Bio emphasized the critical role raw material innovation plays in environmental protection, introducing the company’s technological advancements in the e-liquid sector. As global regulatory demands for tobacco products become increasingly stringent, Zinwi Bio is dedicated to offering healthier and more eco-friendly e-liquid options through innovative tobacco extraction technologies.

“We are not only making breakthroughs in traditional raw materials such as nicotine salts and flavorings, but we are also innovating in tobacco extraction techniques to enhance tobacco flavor,” the spokesperson stated. “As countries tighten their regulations on flavors, Zinwi hopes to leverage technological innovation to help smokers reduce their intake of harmful substances while enjoying more natural flavors. At the same time, we ensure that product ingredients are more controllable and sustainable.”

Through its R&D centers in Yunnan, China, the United States, and Indonesia, Zinwi Bio has established a globally traceable system covering everything from raw material sourcing to refining and aroma profiling. This demonstrates the company’s technological breakthroughs in raw materials and its strategic global vision, marking its drive toward a safer and more sustainable future through innovation and environmental awareness.

Exploring Nicotine Alternatives and New Directions for NGPs

With consumers increasingly focused on health and personalized needs, nicotine alternatives emerged as another key topic of discussion. Zinwi Bio showcased its forward-thinking R&D achievements in this area while also recognizing that future progress requires multi-stakeholder collaboration. “We have invested significant resources in researching the synthesis and safety of nicotine alternatives with academic institutions. However, this is not just one company's goal—it requires the concerted efforts of the entire industry to promote responsible and safe innovation for consumers.”

Zinwi Bio has also demonstrated strong innovation capabilities in the NGP field. The company’s development of products such as nicotine pouches, e-hookahs, and e-cigars provides consumers with diverse options, helping them gradually achieve harm reduction goals.

Investing in Innovation: A Guarantee of Long-Term Returns and Market Leadership

When discussing the “Return on Investment in Innovation,” Zinwi Bio firmly stated that both in the short and long term, R&D and innovation have provided the company with a clear advantage. The company invests substantial funds annually in R&D to ensure that its products consistently lead the market in both flavor and safety.

“Our innovation not only focuses on e-liquids themselves but also on the compatibility between e-liquids and devices, as well as research into localized consumer tastes around the world. This commitment has given us a significant competitive edge,” the spokesperson explained, highlighting the company’s extensive investment in R&D and the commercial value behind it. This dedication also enables Zinwi Bio to quickly adapt to changes in global regulatory environments.

Leading Compliance Innovation

In the face of strict global tobacco regulations, Zinwi Bio remains highly attentive to compliance. The spokesperson detailed the company’s rigorous processes in high-standard product testing and international certifications when addressing how to balance innovation with compliance. Through its advanced CNAS laboratory platform, Zinwi Bio ensures that its products comply with global market standards for safety and regulation.

“Only by maintaining a strong commitment to compliance can a company’s innovations be more widely recognized globally,” the spokesperson affirmed with a resolute tone, expressing the company’s unwavering pursuit of compliance.

At the 2024 GTNF Forum, as a key industry player, Zinwi Bio has continued to drive innovation through technology and products, actively responding to the changes and challenges in the global tobacco and nicotine sectors. Whether through breakthroughs in combining compliance with innovative technology or through its steadfast commitment to leading sustainable development, Zinwi Bio has showcased its industry influence and sense of responsibility.
