The Next-Generation Proposition (NGP) team innovates new products that will become growth drivers in the risk-reduced product (RRP) category. Our goal is to innovate and create solutions that benefit consumers and reduce harm.

We combine a systematic and creative approach to drive ideas from early validation into incubation and acceleration, before they are mature enough to be part of JTI's overall product portfolio.
