IKE Tech to Showcase Innovative Nicotine Solutions at Annual USA Conference
Ispire Technology Inc. has announced that its joint venture, IKE Tech LLC, will be featured at the 7th Annual Next Generation Nicotine Delivery USA Conference. This prestigious event, taking place at the Hyatt Regency in Miami from June 4-5, 2025, gathers influential leaders from various sectors including the FDA, the ENDS (Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems) industry, and the tobacco market to discuss crucial strategies for navigating regulations and achieving commercial success.
IKE Tech’s Historic Milestone
Recent developments have positioned IKE Tech at the forefront of innovative nicotine solutions. The company achieved a significant milestone with its Pre-Market Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) submission for a groundbreaking Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) System-on-a-Chip. The FDA has acknowledged the application, taking it to the filing review phase, marking a historic moment as the first standalone, blockchain-enabled age-verification system designed for universal applicability across ENDS devices.
The IKE platform enhances public safety by requiring continuous age verification, unlike traditional systems that verify only at the point of sale. By ensuring real-time identity checks, IKE Tech aims to tackle the ongoing issue of underage vaping effectively. An expedited review request has also been submitted for the PMTA, reflecting IKE Tech's commitment to public health improvement through innovative technology.
Panel Discussion on Youth Vaping
A key highlight of the conference will be a panel discussion featuring John Patterson, Senior Vice President of International Nicotine at Ispire and President of IKE Tech. Patterson's panel, titled "Technology to End Youth Vaping for Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems," is scheduled for June 4 at 2:00 p.m. In this session, he will address:
- - The persistent challenge of youth vaping the U.S.
- - Current regulatory shortcomings and their unexpected impacts on adult users
- - Continuous age verification as a remedy for youth access to vaping products
- - The utilization of cutting-edge technology, such as biometric verification, blockchain security, and BLE, to establish new industry standards for ENDS access
