Panel
VA, United States, 22202
Incentivizing Investment in the "Ideal" Market
13:30 - 14:30
In the "ideal" nicotine and tobacco products market, all adult consumers would understand the relative risk of tobacco products, have access to a portfolio of regulated smoke-free products, and be provided with cessation counseling and support. And youth access and usage would be minimal to non-existent. Achieving this vision requires capital investment across all stages — from venture capital funding disruptive innovations to institutional investments in mature corporations – driving the transition toward a harm reduction market. This panel will bring together investors to discuss all these vantage points, whether investors are currently incentivized to put capital to work in the "ideal" state, and what investors are looking for to make investments into the "ideal" state.
