$SNNVF Signs Cannabis Extraction Deal with $NUGS

  • Sunniva’s CP Logistics to produce ultra-purified extracts under Cannabis Strategic Ventures’ Pure Organix™ brand
  • Investment banking firm Canaccord Genuity initiates coverage of Sunniva
  • Canaccord Genuity gives Sunniva positive share price valuation above current market performance and a “speculative buy” rating

Vertically integrated cannabis company Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) has announced an agreement to produce top-quality cannabis extracts for Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) (http://cnw.fm/B3aVh). Under the white label services agreement, Sunniva’s CP Logistics (“CPL”) subsidiary will produce ultra-purified cannabis extracts for the Pure Organix™ brand, owned by Cannabis Strategic’s subsidiary, Pure Applied Sciences, Inc.

From its Sun-Oil Facility in Cathedral City, California, CPL will extract cannabis oils for vape pen cartridges. Both companies expect that additional products will follow. The agreement, signed for an initial 12 months, will be open for extension.

Commenting in a news release on why his company chose Sunniva for this deal, Cannabis Strategic CEO Simon Yu said, “We have selected Sunniva because of its emphasis on creating great products for great brands… We created the Pure Sciences brand based on premium quality and sound manufacturing practices. Sunniva shares our values relative to the area and we are pleased to have them as our manufacturer. We are especially impressed with their plans to build greenhouse and extraction facilities compliant with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards.”

Sunniva CEO Tony Holler added, “As one of the highest quality producers in the marketplace, we believe we are in an excellent position to provide brand product manufacturing services for Cannabis Strategic. Both of our firms share the vision of becoming leaders in providing clean, medical grade cannabis products to consumers.”

This news comes on the heels of a recent announcement that investment banking, wealth management and brokerage firm Canaccord Genuity has initiated coverage on Sunniva. In its first report, the company, a leading Canadian investment firm, gave Sunniva a “speculative buy” rating (http://cnw.fm/HtE06).

In a comprehensive 51-page report created to inform clients about investment prospects, Canaccord Genuity recommends a target price for Sunniva of C$13.00 (US$9.84), well above current trading levels. The report, titled “Bringing quality and scale to the world’s two largest cannabis markets,” goes into detail about Sunniva’s operations in Canada and California, drawing out points that will be of key importance to potential investors.

Canaccord Genuity predicts high growth for the cannabis industry in California and Canada, Sunniva’s areas of operation. It highlights Sunniva’s strategy of vertical integration as being key to its potential success in the cannabis market, noting, “As one of only a limited number of U.S. cannabis operators with access to public market capital, we believe the company is well positioned to transition to a fully vertically integrated operator by acquiring other areas of the value chain.”

The report mentions Sunniva’s current construction of a large-scale state-of-the-art facility in Canada, as well as the fact that it has entered a two-year deal with Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX: WEED) to supply 90,000 kg of cannabis. The agreement secures Sunniva a buyer for a large portion of stock from its Canada campus as soon as it begins production.

$PFSF Develops Innovative Trade Portal Utilizing Secure Blockchain Databases

  • Company in talks with government officials and agriculture industry leaders in Brazil’s Rondonia State
  • Pacific Software’s blockchain technologies designed to increase supply chain transparency, thus impacting consumer confidence
  • Brazil likely to soon become world’s top exporter of agricultural products

Pacific Software, Inc. (OTC: PFSF), a company engaged in the development, acquisition and licensing of Hyperledger blockchain-based systems, has announced that it has set plans into motion to tap into the huge Brazilian agriculture market. In a recent news release, the company said that it is in talks with the government of the state of Rondonia (http://ccw.fm/GSq1g) and the state’s biggest exporters of meat and agricultural products to explore ways that the industry can use Pacific Software’s Agri-Blockchain technology (http://ccw.fm/Ue5Z7).

The move comes in the context of Brazil increasing its market share of global agricultural exports. A current report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), ranks Brazil as the world’s second largest supplier of food and agricultural products. The report, ‘OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2015-2024’, further predicts that Brazil could become the world’s top agricultural exporter in the near future (http://ccw.fm/9mPJv).

At the same time, trend-watchers in the global agricultural industry foresee a huge potential role for blockchain technology (http://ccw.fm/Xz8is). In a world where consumers are increasingly concerned about the origins of their products, blockchain technology will make supply chains more transparent and easier to trace. Large-scale producers will be able to keep better records of their operations, and niche producers, such as organic farmers, will be able to more easily prove and certify every step their products take from field to store shelf.

Pacific Software is developing a cutting-edge trade portal that harnesses the power of blockchain’s ultra-secure databases, and it is now positioning itself to become a key player in the supply of blockchain technology solutions to Brazil’s agricultural industry. This tool will make it possible to track the entire supply chain with blockchain’s solid credibility.

In a news release, Peter Pizzino, president of Pacific Software, said, “We are excited to enter strategic alliances with some of Brazil’s largest agriculture and meat exporters to implement our disruptive blockchain technology-based B2B platform for the supply chain and logistics sectors.”

Pacific Software’s trade platform will be available in Portuguese, English, Cantonese and Mandarin – appropriate options, given that China and the United States are among Brazil’s biggest export markets. The company is developing the B2B and B2C portal in partnership with KBQuest Group Inc., a global IT service provider, and could utilize IBM’s (NYSE: IBM) Blockchain Hyperledger platform (http://ccw.fm/zCA3t).

In addition to providing transparency, accountability and trust in the provenance of agricultural products, the Pacific Software platform could also be used in many other key aspects of agricultural recordkeeping. Billing and invoicing can be automated and other records and processes migrated into digital formats. Improving recordkeeping and automating and streamlining processes will lead to improved efficiency which will, in turn, increase profitability.

Pizzino added, “The recent trip to Brazil has strengthened our relationships for building regional market share in order to become a major blockchain technology service provider in the region.”

Vertically integrated cannabis company Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) has announced an agreement to produce top-quality cannabis extracts for Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) (http://nnw.fm/59hlR). Under the white label services agreement, Sunniva’s CP Logistics (“CPL”) subsidiary will produce ultra-purified cannabis extracts for the Pure Organix™ brand, owned by Cannabis Strategic’s subsidiary, Pure Applied Sciences, Inc.

From its Sun-Oil Facility in Cathedral City, California, CPL will extract cannabis oils for vape pen cartridges. Both companies expect that additional products will follow. The agreement, signed for an initial 12 months, will be open for extension.

This news comes on the heels of a recent announcement that investment banking, wealth management and brokerage firm Canaccord Genuity has initiated coverage on Sunniva.

  • Company in talks with government officials and agriculture industry leaders in Brazil’s Rondonia State
  • Pacific Software’s blockchain technologies designed to increase supply chain transparency, thus impacting consumer confidence
  • Brazil likely to soon become world’s top exporter of agricultural products

Pacific Software, Inc. (OTC: PFSF), a company engaged in the development, acquisition and licensing of Hyperledger blockchain-based systems, has announced that it has set plans into motion to tap into the huge Brazilian agriculture market. In a recent news release, the company said that it is in talks with the government of the state of Rondonia (http://nnw.fm/d0Tz4) and the state’s biggest exporters of meat and agricultural products to explore ways that the industry can use Pacific Software’s Agri-Blockchain technology (http://nnw.fm/AHmk1).

The move comes in the context of Brazil increasing its market share of global agricultural exports. A current report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), ranks Brazil as the world’s second largest supplier of food and agricultural products. The report, ‘OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2015-2024’, further predicts that Brazil could become the world’s top agricultural exporter in the near future (http://nnw.fm/lM9Oc).

At the same time, trend-watchers in the global agricultural industry foresee a huge potential role for blockchain technology (http://nnw.fm/GD5Vk). In a world where consumers are increasingly concerned about the origins of their products, blockchain technology will make supply chains more transparent and easier to trace. Large-scale producers will be able to keep better records of their operations, and niche producers, such as organic farmers, will be able to more easily prove and certify every step their products take from field to store shelf.

Pacific Software is developing a cutting-edge trade portal that harnesses the power of blockchain’s ultra-secure databases, and it is now positioning itself to become a key player in the supply of blockchain technology solutions to Brazil’s agricultural industry. This tool will make it possible to track the entire supply chain with blockchain’s solid credibility.

In a news release, Peter Pizzino, president of Pacific Software, said, “We are excited to enter strategic alliances with some of Brazil’s largest agriculture and meat exporters to implement our disruptive blockchain technology-based B2B platform for the supply chain and logistics sectors.”

Pacific Software’s trade platform will be available in Portuguese, English, Cantonese and Mandarin – appropriate options, given that China and the United States are among Brazil’s biggest export markets. The company is developing the B2B and B2C portal in partnership with KBQuest Group Inc., a global IT service provider, and could utilize IBM’s (NYSE: IBM) Blockchain Hyperledger platform (http://nnw.fm/qaSN6).

In addition to providing transparency, accountability and trust in the provenance of agricultural products, the Pacific Software platform could also be used in many other key aspects of agricultural recordkeeping. Billing and invoicing can be automated and other records and processes migrated into digital formats. Improving recordkeeping and automating and streamlining processes will lead to improved efficiency which will, in turn, increase profitability.

Pizzino added, “The recent trip to Brazil has strengthened our relationships for building regional market share in order to become a major blockchain technology service provider in the region.”

$NUGL Launches Brand Locator and Profile Claiming Features to Bolster App

LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2018 — via NetworkWire – NUGL Inc. (OTC:NUGL) (the “Company”), the cannabis industry’s new standard of technology, today announces the eagerly anticipated launch of its brand locator and profile claiming features for the cannabis community and its rapidly growing fan base.

NUGL’s platform is designed to serve cannabis-related businesses, products, services and users in a fresh and fair approach by building a community that truly meets the needs of the 420 industry. With the launch of two new features – profile claiming and brand locator – NUGL puts the power of self-promotion back into the hands of cannabis companies who can now build their own dedicated profile featuring their brands and services, while consumers are rewarded with the pleasure of discovering where they can purchase exactly what they want to buy.

“Brands are and will be the focus for us,” NUGL CMO Ryan Bartlett said. “Now users can search for brand specific items and see which stores offer these items, where they are located and read or offer their own unbiased reviews.”

Profile claiming provides the distinct benefit of linking cannabis-related brands to a specific profile, giving owners a dedicated platform to market to an identified consumer base of users. The brand locator gives cannabis companies the ability to promote their brands and connect with dispensaries and retail stores, upping the marketing potential for products, services and making it infinitely easier for consumers to actually find their favorite brands.

NUGL has also expanded its development team with the addition of two additional software developers. “Supporting the Company’s extraordinary growth and accelerated timeline for adding features to the NUGL app will keep the team busy,” said Jeff Odle, NUGL’s Chief Technical Officer.

“We have two more major features we are working to launch in the next few months and the added support will help expedite these valuable additions to our platform,” Odle said. “One of the features is an enhanced menu that will blow our user base away.”

NUGL’s user and profile base of listings and brands is growing fast with dispensaries, strains, doctors, lawyers, service professionals, vape shops, hydro stores and brands being added daily. NUGL has recently expanded outside of California and will continue to methodically market in each state.

About NUGL

NUGL is the world’s first cannabis search app built for the people, by the people. Our goal is to build the most user-friendly app experience in the cannabis industry by listening to our users and giving them what they want. NUGL is the only cannabis search app that offers equal and unbiased search results. We don’t sell top-spot listings or fake reviews, so our data stays true. Use NUGL to search for genuine user-rated dispensaries, strains, doctors, lawyers, cannabis service providers, vape shops, hydro stores, brands and more.

$FRSX Increases Ownership in Rail Vision, Lands Sale of QuadSight™ Prototype

  • Foresight becomes largest shareholder in Rail Vision Ltd.
  • Chinese company purchases prototype of Foresight’s breakthrough quad-camera vision system
  • Foresight strengthens position as leader in providing vision solutions

A leading innovator in automotive vision systems and driver assistance technology, Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: FRSX) (TASE: FRSX) has become the largest shareholder of Rail Vision Ltd. To reach this status, Foresight exercised $2.24 million of warrants, raising its ownership stake to approximately 35 percent of issued and outstanding shares and 34 percent on a fully diluted basis.

Focused on revolutionizing the rail industry with obstacle detection solutions, advanced imaging and deep-learning technologies, Rail Vision, in December 2017, successfully completed a trial of its unique vision-based system. The trial, conducted in partnership with a leading European railway company, demonstrated the system’s real-time capabilities to detect and identify obstacles at distances of several hundred meters under harsh conditions with minimal light.

“Foresight is pleased to increase its investment in Rail Vision,” Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight, stated in a news release. “We believe that, like in the automotive space, the next step is to provide trains with sensors and processing capabilities, to prevent accidents, reduce downtime, and increase productivity. Rail Vision is uniquely positioned to offer these functionalities and provide systems, which have the potential to significantly reduce maintenance costs. Rail Vision is a leader in cognitive vision systems that detect objects before a train and make real-time decisions. We strongly believe that Rail Vision’s capabilities will become the standard in this market.”

In addition, Foresight announced a prototype sale of its breakthrough QuadSight quad-camera vision system designed for use in the autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle market. A leading Chinese manufacturer of electric and autonomous vehicles ordered the prototype in order to evaluate the system’s performance with its current electric vehicles. Depending on the test results, the overseas manufacturer could implement QuadSight into future electric autonomous vehicle designs, a move that could mean significant revenue generation for Foresight.

“According to a report by Frost & Sullivan earlier this year, more than 1.2 million electric vehicles were sold globally in 2017,” Doron Cohadier, Foresight’s vice president of Business Development, added in a news release. “Notably, China led the market with 49.5 percent of total sales. With China expected to be the largest market for electric vehicles for at least the next five to seven years, and as analysts at Boston Consulting Group predict that more than five million conventional cars per year could be replaced by fully or semi-autonomous electric vehicles, we feel that our QuadSight system is well suited for the evolving Chinese electric vehicle market.”

Foresight gathers customer feedback and a greater understanding of its customers’ needs and requirements with each prototype sale. This information allows Foresight to modify the QuadSight system within a short period of time to accommodate each individual company’s needs.

These two announcements – becoming Rail Vision’s largest shareholder and its newest QuadSight sale – highlight Foresight’s continued commitment to being a leader in providing unique automotive vision systems solutions, addressing customers’ needs and expanding its presence in the industry. Foresight will continue to work to secure that presence by identifying opportunities to work closely with others interested in the research, development and integration of QuadSight.

$PBIO Patented Ultra-Shear Tech Focus of New Government-Funded Food Safety

  • Federal four-year grant awarded to Ohio State University to fund research program with PBIO
  • Goal is development of manufacturing process to keep foods fresh without costly refrigerated transport/storage and safe without chemical additives
  • PBIO’s Ultra-Shear Technology (“UST”) allows food manufacturers to manufacture healthier beverages and other foods that retain flavor and preserve product’s wholesome ingredients, potentially affecting future food processing around the world
  • Dairy alternative beverage market, which grew 18 percent from 2009 to 2014 to reach $18.9 billion, fueled by consumers seeking tasty, nutrient-dense, convenient options for on-the-go lifestyles
  • Consumers increasingly value “clean-label” foods, with 73 percent stating that they would pay more for food or drink products made safely with recognizable ingredients
  • Global dairy market projected at $442 billion by 2019 with a CAGR of six percent

Imagine food, such as milk, that doesn’t go bad, tastes like the fresh product, is free of chemical preservatives and doesn’t need expensive refrigerated transport or storage. Now, think of how many bottom lines of companies around the world such a technology could affect.

Global life sciences company Pressure BioSciences Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) and its patented Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) will be used to develop an innovative manufacturing technology in a new, federally-funded research program focused on food preservation and safety at Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (“CFAES”). PBIO is a Massachusetts-based company that manufactures high-pressure-based equipment and laboratory instrumentation for the life science industry. CFAES is a worldwide leading food safety college.

PBIO’s Ultra Sheer Technology produces highly stable, clean and cost-effective nanoemulsions that facilitate the production of food products with enhanced shelf lives and without the need for chemicals or preservatives, as the company notes in a recent article (http://nnw.fm/U0P5r). The UST technology, which aligns with consumer demand for chemical- and preservative-free products, can be applied across many industries, including pharmaceutical, food, nutraceutical, industrial lubricant, paint and cosmetic sectors.

Researchers at Ohio State and their PBIO collaborators announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture four-year $891,000 grant in a recent news release (http://nnw.fm/I3u4a). PBIO’s UST technology will be the basis upon which a new manufacturing technology will be developed to preserve food and beverages by reducing thermal exposure through the combined application of elevated pressure, shear, controlled times and temperatures.

A growing need to optimize processing technologies to preserve the freshness of foods while extending the shelf life without using preservatives is a key factor for researchers in this demanding, developing global market. Statista reports that, for example, the dairy market worldwide, valued at $336 billion in 2014, is projected to grow by six percent to reach a staggering $442 billion in 2019 (http://nnw.fm/bcI6n). For dairy-alternative consumers, the market is just as intriguing, with a strong demand that reached $18.9 billion by the end of 2014 as dairy-based sports nutrition drinks gained in popularity (http://nnw.fm/0Dj5Z).

V.M. Dr. “Bala” Balasubramaniam, a CFAES professor of food engineering, is leading the development project, which is designed as a collaborative team effort with scientists and engineers at PBIO. Balasubramaniam believes that UST also holds the potential to be utilized by food manufacturers to ensure a healthier processing of sauces, condiments and other foods.

“Development of cost-effective, next-generation, gentler industrial food manufacturing technologies for the preservation of healthy beverages has now become a critical need,” Balasubramaniam stated in the university’s news release.

Edmund Ting, a senior vice president at PBIO, will lead the development of the laboratory scale and pilot plant equipment that CFAES and the company’s researchers will use in the project. The UST equipment developed under the project will be used to demonstrate the UST-based processing method to the beverage and food processing industry through pilot plant demonstrations and testing at the university’s advanced technology pilot plant on campus.

“It has been rewarding to see the significant growth of high-pressure food and beverage processing over the last 25 years,” Ting stated in the news release. “I believe UST has equal if not greater applications than high-pressure processing, both within and outside the food and beverage industries.”

The high-pressure processing equipment market is projected to reach $500.3 million by 2022 at a CAGR of 11.26 percent from 2016, according to a report from MarketsAndMarkets (http://nnw.fm/Ju6dB). North America and European regions dominated this market in 2015 and are expected to continue leading as early adopters of new food processing technologies, the report states.

Consumers are increasingly looking for foods and beverage products that they believe are genuine and free of preservatives, with 73 percent stating that they would pay more for a product they trust, a Food Insider Journal article states (http://nnw.fm/Le9eZ). These “clean label” products brought in global sales of $165 billion in 2015 and are expected to reach $180 billion by 2020. The UST-based processing method being developed by Ohio State and PBIO will be a new alternative to existing options, one that will not use high heat and will consequently offer the potential for better taste, nutritional value and safety.

“We are pleased to collaborate with experts at Ohio State to advance the commercialization of the UST platform for the food and beverage market,” Ting added, noting that the UST equipment developed with the grant will eventually be shared with the food and beverage industry through pilot plant demonstrations and testing, webinars, short courses and food processor fact sheets.

“The UST technology is expected to be particularly beneficial for medium- and small-scale food processors and entrepreneurs who otherwise have limited technical resources to evaluate such novel food manufacturing processes,” Balasubramaniam said. “The ultimate goal is for consumers to benefit from the increased availability of wholesome, healthy beverage and food options.”

$NUGL Launches Cannabis Brand Locator, Profile Claiming Features

LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2018  — via NetworkWire – NUGL Inc. (OTC:NUGL) (the “Company”), the cannabis industry’s new standard of technology, today announces the eagerly anticipated launch of its brand locator and profile claiming features for the cannabis community and its rapidly growing fan base.

NUGL’s platform is designed to serve cannabis-related businesses, products, services and users in a fresh and fair approach by building a community that truly meets the needs of the 420 industry. With the launch of two new features – profile claiming and brand locator – NUGL puts the power of self-promotion back into the hands of cannabis companies who can now build their own dedicated profile featuring their brands and services, while consumers are rewarded with the pleasure of discovering where they can purchase exactly what they want to buy.

“Brands are and will be the focus for us,” NUGL CMO Ryan Bartlett said. “Now users can search for brand specific items and see which stores offer these items, where they are located and read or offer their own unbiased reviews.”

Profile claiming provides the distinct benefit of linking cannabis-related brands to a specific profile, giving owners a dedicated platform to market to an identified consumer base of users. The brand locator gives cannabis companies the ability to promote their brands and connect with dispensaries and retail stores, upping the marketing potential for products, services and making it infinitely easier for consumers to actually find their favorite brands.

NUGL has also expanded its development team with the addition of two additional software developers. “Supporting the Company’s extraordinary growth and accelerated timeline for adding features to the NUGL app will keep the team busy,” said Jeff Odle, NUGL’s Chief Technical Officer.

“We have two more major features we are working to launch in the next few months and the added support will help expedite these valuable additions to our platform,” Odle said. “One of the features is an enhanced menu that will blow our user base away.”

NUGL’s user and profile base of listings and brands is growing fast with dispensaries, strains, doctors, lawyers, service professionals, vape shops, hydro stores and brands being added daily. NUGL has recently expanded outside of California and will continue to methodically market in each state.

About NUGL

NUGL is the world’s first cannabis search app built for the people, by the people. Our goal is to build the most user-friendly app experience in the cannabis industry by listening to our users and giving them what they want. NUGL is the only cannabis search app that offers equal and unbiased search results. We don’t sell top-spot listings or fake reviews, so our data stays true. Use NUGL to search for genuine user-rated dispensaries, strains, doctors, lawyers, cannabis service providers, vape shops, hydro stores, brands and more.

$FRSX Looks to Lead Autonomous Vehicle Race with Merger and Series of Private Placements

  • Foresight sets primary goal to sell prototype systems of QuadSight, its multi-spectral vision system for autonomous vehicles
  • The company looks to establish mutual cooperation with key clients in automotive industry
  • Foresight moves forward with plans to sell its Eyes-On automotive vision system to a leading Israeli vehicle importer
  • Global autonomous vehicle market expected to reach $54.23 billion by 2026

While 2017 was the year of the electric vehicle, 2018 is slated to be the year of autonomy. Elon Musk predicted a fully autonomous Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) model by 2018, and General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) is slated to put its version of a fully autonomous car into production in 2019 (http://nnw.fm/8dcGM) (http://nnw.fm/S0kKL). The global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach $54.23 billion by 2026 (http://nnw.fm/qh9F0). Well positioned to take advantage of the upcoming autonomous vehicle boom is Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: FRSX) (TASE: FRSX), a technological innovator in automotive vision systems and driver assistance technology working to solve the complex nuances of autonomous driving.

Foresight creates products and solutions designed to drive the future of the semi- and fully-autonomous vehicle industry. The company was first conceptualized as a spin-off of major shareholder Magna B.S.P., an Israeli company that has provided innovative homeland security and surveillance technology solutions for the last 20 years. Foresight now uses the same technology to power two of its unique solutions: QuadSight and Eyes-On. Foresight’s third solution, EyeNet, is a cellular-based V2X accident prevention system.

Foresight recently signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with a leading importer of vehicles to Israel for the sale of its Eyes-On system for aftermarket configuration. As a first step, Foresight and the importer will carry out a pilot project using a beta version of the Eyes-On system during which the system will be integrated into a number of models from the importer’s fleet of vehicles. The MOU could potentially see the importer order 21,000 Eyes-On systems over three years. Eyes-On is an advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”) that uses two cameras and stereoscopic technology to detect potential obstacles with a very high degree of accuracy. Stereoscopic technology uses two synchronized cameras to imitate human depth perception. Eyes-On is available as both an OEM and a retrofit solution.

Foresight’s focus for 2018 is QuadSight, according to a recent interview given by VP of Business Development Doron Cohadier. QuadSight is a multi-spectral vision system that uses four cameras (two visible light and two infrared cameras) to provide safety in all weather and lighting conditions, including extreme weather situations. One of Foresight’s main goals for this year is the sale of several QuadSight prototype systems. Foresight recently sold a couple of these prototype systems.

“These prototype systems will allow us to be in connection with various key stakeholders within the automotive industry at an early stage,” Cohadier explained in a news release. “And following that, we want to establish mutual cooperation with these key clients in the automotive industry.”

Foresight’s operates as a holding company with three pillars under it: Foresight Automotive Ltd., Eye-Net and Rail Vision. Foresight Automotive is dedicated to developing advanced accident prevention systems and solutions based on vision systems and stereoscopic technology, while EyeNet is focused on development of the EyeNet V2X (vehicle-to-everything) cellular-based accident prevention system that provides real-time pre-collision alerts to vehicles and pedestrians using smartphones and cellular networks. Rail Vision, of which Foresight has 35 percent equity, develops advanced systems for railway safety.

Another large goal for Foresight in 2018 is to complete the spinoff and merger of Eye-Net with Israeli company Tamda Ltd. (TASE: TMDA). The two companies signed a merger agreement in early May that will see Foresight establish a wholly owned subsidiary. Foresight will then transfer to the subsidiary all of Foresight’s rights and intellectual property for Eye-Net for no consideration. Upon closure of the merger, Foresight has agreed to transfer 100 percent of the share capital of the newly-created subsidiary to Tamda in exchange for approximately 74.49 percent of Tamda’s share capital as of the closing date of the transaction.

Foresight is well-positioned to reach these goals. The company recently attracted private placement agreements from several leading Israeli institutional investors. Harel Insurance invested $5.5 million, while Meitav Dash Group invested $4.1 million and Psagot Investment House another $1.4 million.

Cohadier also spoke to Foresight’s strong strategic positioning, saying “At the end of the day, an autonomous vehicle will have a few technologies on them for sensors for redundancy purposes. Basically, there won’t be one winning technology, there will be quite a few. But what we understood is vision will always be needed. Vision is the only sensor that can actually identify lanes, traffic signs, traffic lights, colours… If vision will always be needed and you require [it], you might as well have the best vision systems. We want to provide the market with the best vision systems.”

— Conference call 8:30 AM Eastern Time today —

BOSTON, July 25, 2018 — resTORbio, Inc. (Nasdaq:TORC) today announced positive topline results from its dose-ranging Phase 2b clinical trial that enrolled 652 elderly patients at increased risk of morbidity and mortality associated with respiratory tract infections (RTIs). In this trial, RTB101, an oral, selective, and potent inhibitor of target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1), demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the percentage of patients with one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs during the 16-week treatment period compared to placebo, the primary endpoint of the study, with the 10 mg once daily dose. Greater TORC1 inhibition with RTB101 10 mg in combination with everolimus 0.1 mg did not meet the primary endpoint, suggesting that that less TORC1 inhibition with RTB101 10 mg once daily may have greater benefit in high-risk elderly patients.

“This Phase 2b has successfully defined a dose, RTB101 10 mg once daily, to be evaluated in future pivotal studies. That dose led to a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed RTIs and was well-tolerated in the high-risk elderly patients enrolled in the Phase 2b study. We have also identified patient populations that were particularly high responders,” said Joan Mannick, M.D., Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of resTORbio. “We believe the findings of this trial provide us with a clear path forward for pursuing a pivotal program for RTB101 to reduce the incidence of RTIs in high-risk elderly patients. We look forward to working closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies on this program.”

“The majority of RTIs requiring hospitalizations in the very elderly and the majority of asthma exacerbations are caused by viruses for which there are currently no approved therapies,” said Professor Sebastian Johnston, Professor of Respiratory Medicine and Allergy at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London. “The magnitude of reduction in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed RTIs observed with RTB101 suggests that, if successfully developed and approved, RTB101 may be a new promising treatment for the very elderly and elderly patients with asthma who are at high risk of morbidity and mortality associated with RTIs.”

“The primary endpoint of this Phase 2b study, the percentage of patients with laboratory-confirmed RTIs, was chosen based on feedback from the FDA, and we look forward to discussing these results at our end of Phase 2 meeting with the agency,” said Chen Schor, Co-Founder, President and CEO of resTORbio. “RTIs are the fourth leading cause of hospitalization in patients 65 years and older, and the second leading cause of hospitalization in patients 85 years and older in the U.S. We are committed to helping the millions of elderly patients at high risk of morbidity and mortality due to RTIs.”

The Phase 2b trial was a two-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted during the winter cold and flu season in the southern hemisphere (Part 1) and northern hemisphere (Part 2). Patients enrolled were those at increased risk of morbidity and mortality from RTIs including patients who were: (i) 85 years of age or older, or (ii) 65 years of age or older with asthma, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or current smokers. The doses investigated in Part 1 were RTB101 5 mg and RTB101 10 mg once daily. The doses investigated in Part 2 were RTB101 10 mg once daily, RTB101 10 mg twice daily and RTB101 10 mg in combination with everolimus 0.1 mg once daily.

The following was observed in an analysis of the primary endpoint:

  • A 30.6% decrease relative to placebo in the percentage of all patients treated with RTB101 10 mg once daily who developed one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs (p=0.026)
  • A 20.6% decrease relative to placebo in the percentage of all patients treated with RTB101 5 mg once daily who developed one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs (p=0.108)
  • No decrease relative to placebo in the percentage of patients treated with either RTB101 10 mg twice daily or the combination of RTB101 10 mg + everolimus 0.1 mg once daily who developed one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs, suggesting that less TORC1 inhibition with RTB101 10 mg once daily may have greater benefit in high-risk elderly patients

To better understand the activity observed in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort, a pre-specified analysis of each patient subgroup enrolled in the study was conducted. The following decreases in the percentage of patients with laboratory-confirmed RTIs were observed in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort as compared to the placebo cohort:

  • A 68.4% decrease in all asthma patients (p=0.0002)
  • A 66.7% decrease in all patients 85 years of age and older (p=0.007)
  • A 26.9% decrease in all T2DM patients (p=0.020)
  • No decrease was observed in either COPD patients or current smokers; a 42.0% decrease in all patients was observed when excluding patients with COPD (p=0.002) and a 43.9% decrease in all patients was observed when excluding current smokers (p=0.001)

All doses were observed to be well-tolerated. Data from the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort are as  follows: Adverse events (AEs) were balanced between the RTB101 10 mg once daily and placebo treatment groups. 4.5% of subjects in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort and 7.2% of subjects in the placebo cohort had a serious adverse event, none of which were considered related to study drug. 4.5% of subjects in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort and 6.1% of subjects in the placebo cohort discontinued study drug due to an AE. All AEs were mild or moderate except for 11 severe AEs in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort and 22 severe AEs in the placebo cohort.

This Phase 2b is the second study in which RTB101 10 mg once daily was observed to be well-tolerated and reduce the incidence of RTIs in the elderly. Together, these studies enrolled more than 900 elderly people.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

resTORbio management will host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss the results of the Phase 2b trial. To participate in the conference call, please dial (877) 356-9149 (domestic) or (629) 228-0720 (international) and refer to conference ID 3181638. A live webcast of the call can be accessed in the “Investors” section of the Company’s website at www.restorbio.com. An archived webcast recording will be available on the resTORbio website beginning approximately two hours after the call.

Phase 2b Trial Design

The purpose of the exploratory dose-finding, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase 2b clinical trial was to determine if RTB101 alone or in combination with everolimus decreased the incidence of RTIs in high-risk elderly patients, as well as to evaluate safety and tolerability alone or in combination with everolimus, to support dose selection for pivotal trials.

The study enrolled 652 patients at increased risk of morbidity and mortality from RTIs including patients who were: (i) 85 years of age or older, or (ii) 65 years of age or older with asthma, T2DM, COPD, or current smokers. The study consisted of two parts. Part 1 was conducted during the winter cold and flu season in the southern hemisphere and 179 elderly patients were randomized to receive either placebo, RTB101 5 mg or RTB101 10 mg once daily. At the end of Part 1, an interim analysis was conducted by an unblinded data monitoring committee who selected the RTB101 10 mg dose to move forward into Part 2 of the study. Part 2 was conducted during the winter cold and flu season in the northern hemisphere and 473 elderly patients were randomized to receive either placebo, RTB101 10 mg once daily, RTB101 10 mg twice daily, or RTB101 10 mg in combination with everolimus 0.1 mg once daily. All patients were treated with study drug for 16 weeks, and then were followed for an additional eight weeks off study drug.

The primary endpoint of the trial was a reduction, as compared to placebo, in the percentage of patients with one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs during the 16 weeks of study drug treatment. A pre-specified exploratory endpoint was a reduction, as compared to placebo, in the percentage of patients with one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs in each of the patient subgroups (≥ 85 years of age, ≥ 65 years of age with asthma, COPD, T2DM, or current smokers).

Additional information about the study [NCT03373903] can be obtained at www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

About Respiratory Tract Infections

The reduced ability of the aging immune system to effectively detect and fight infections results in increased susceptibility of the elderly to RTIs. In the U.S., RTIs are the fourth leading cause of hospitalizations and seventh leading cause of death in people age 65 years and older. Additionally, the majority of asthma exacerbations are caused by RTIs, and the majority of RTIs are caused by viruses for which there are no currently approved therapies.

A survey was conducted by resTORbio of 100 physicians in the U.S. that treat approximately 25,000 patients aged 65 years or older monthly. Depending on their specialty, the physicians surveyed estimated that they would prescribe a therapeutic that reduced the incidence of laboratory-confirmed RTIs by 25% to approximately 30-50% of their high-risk elderly patients. Data from market surveys may not predict actual prescribing behavior should RTB101 receive regulatory approval.

About RTB101

RTB101 is an oral, selective, and potent inhibitor of TORC1. RTB101 inhibits the phosphorylation of multiple targets downstream of TORC1. Inhibition of TORC1 has been observed to extend lifespan and healthspan in aging preclinical species and to enhance immune, cardiac and neurologic functions, suggesting potential benefits in several aging-related diseases.

About resTORbio

resTORbio, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company targeting TORC1 and other biological pathways that regulate aging to develop innovative medicines with the potential to extend healthy lifespan. resTORbio’s lead program is selectively targeting TORC1, an evolutionarily conserved pathway that contributes to the decline in function of multiple organ systems, including the immune, cardiovascular and central nervous systems.

$TGODF Spin Off Provides Cannabis Investors with Ground Floor Opportunity

SEATTLE, July 25, 2018  — CFN Media Group (“CFN Media”), the leading agency and financial media network dedicated to the North American cannabis industry, announces publication of an article covering The Green Organic Dutchman Ltd.’s (TSX:TGOD) (OTCQX:TGODF) recently proposed spin off of a company focused on investments and acquisitions. TGOD raised more than C$115 million in an initial public offering at C$3.65 about three months ago. Since then, the stock soared to a high of C$7.87 before settling in the C$6.00 range over the past few weeks, netting investors a return of over 60 percent (assuming a sell price of $6) in less than six months. Investors that missed the original IPO may have another opportunity in the form of a planned spin off during the fourth quarter of this year.

Invest Alongside Management and Insiders in a Seed Round

The same team behind The Green Organic Dutchman’s successful IPO plans to create a new company, TGOD Acquisitions, that will be spun off as a special dividend providing TGOD shareholders the ability to purchase a Unit in TGOD Acquisitions for $0.50. Management believes that the new IPO presents investors with a unique opportunity to tap into TGOD’s significant expertise and participate at a seed level that’s typically reserved for management, employees, close friends and family.

“This is an incredible opportunity for TGOD to transfer expertise and monetize our proprietary knowledge from the Canadian marketplace,” said TGOD CEO Brian Athaide. “We will partner with innovative and disruptive companies that we can assist with capital market knowledge and unique retail-exclusive financing methods. The intention is to raise additional capital and list TGOD Acquisition on the Canadian Securities Exchange.”

The new company will focus on strategic acquisitions and worldwide opportunities that are not core to TGOD’s own business in Canada. With its listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange the new company will be permitted to participate in the United States cannabis industry, which is off-limits for companies that are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It could also participate in other markets around the world, including growing European markets.

A Closer Look at the Transaction

The Green Organic Dutchman will distribute a warrant to acquire a TGOD Acquisitions unit for $0.50 to its shareholders. Each unit will consist of one share plus an additional warrant that will be triggered by a subsequent financing following the initial offering. The distribution will be paid on the basis of one warrant for every 6.67 TGOD shares owned on the record date, which will be fixed by the board of directors over the near-term.

The only way to increase exposure to TGOD Acquisitions is through an increased position in TGOD common shares prior to the record date, that has yet to be set.

TGOD and TGOD Acquisitions will enter into a repayable funding agreement whereby TGOD will provide C$25 million of working capital to TGOD Acquisitions that will be repayable by TGOD Acquisitions prior to the completion of any investment. In consideration, TGOD Acquisitions will issue a restricted warrant to purchase 50 million common shares for a period of 25 years from the date upon TGOD Acquisitions beings trading on the CSE.

Units that aren’t purchased by investors will be backstopped by TGOD management. Following the completion of the spin off, TGOD Acquisitions will operate at arm’s length to TGOD and will have an independent board of directors and management team. The details of the new board and management team will be announced with the filing of materials at a special meeting of TGOD shareholders to approve the transaction.

Watch a recent executive interview here.

TGOD VP of Investor Relations, Danny Brody, gives an overview of the company’s current position in the legal cannabis market as a certified organic producer. He also discusses the company’s ambitious international plans, and TGOD’s positioning in the emerging edibles and beverages space. Filmed at the O’Cannabiz Expo in Toronto, June 8, 2018.

Looking Ahead

The Green Organic Dutchman Ltd.’s (TSX:TGOD) plans to spin off TGOD Acquisitions could generate tremendous value for shareholders. Rather than expanding its own scope, the company is providing its shareholders with an opportunity to invest in an internationally-focused cannabis company that leverages the same intrinsic value. TGOD shareholders can then focus on a pureplay in the Canadian market.

$SNNVF Vertically Integrated Structure Strengthened by Several Subsidiaries

  • Operating in world’s two largest cannabis markets – California and Canada
  • Vertically integrated structure extracts value along the supply chain
  • Pre-production sales strategy mitigates risk

What can you give a company, like Vancouver, British Columbia-based Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF), that seems to have everything? For starters, this vertically-integrated producer of medical and recreational cannabis has a presence in California and Canada, the world’s two largest cannabis markets. Through several wholly-owned subsidiaries, it has operations in cannabis grow facilities, cannabis extraction facilities, medical cannabis clinics and the cannabis white label business. Moreover, a large part of its estimated total output for the next two years has already been sold as pre-production, even before the completion of grow facilities – a sure signal of customer trust. Even though its grow activities are yet to make a contribution, Sunniva is already generating revenue. With all that in place, this is a company whose future looks as bright as its name, which is derived from an old English word meaning ‘gift of the sun’.

Sunniva is into large-scale low-cost production. Through subsidiary CP Logistics, the company is close to completing a cGMP-compliant greenhouse facility in Cathedral City, California, that will have an estimated annual output cannabis capacity of 100,000 kilos. cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations are mandated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure proper design, monitoring and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. Phase 1 of the project involves the development of a 325,000 square foot greenhouse capable of producing 60,000 kilos per year of dry cannabis at capacity with operations commencing in Q4 2018. Approximately 30 percent of initial production has been committed for conversion to oils and extracts. Phase 2 is expected to increase the greenhouse space by 164,000 square feet and increase output capacity by some 40,000 kilos per year.

The location and design choices were made with a focus on low-cost production in mind. The abundant sunlight in California will reduce energy costs, while the highly automated operations will ensure the most efficient production processes are employed. In California also, close to its Cathedral City Campus, Sunniva is operating an extraction facility, through subsidiary CP Logistics. The Sun Oil extraction facility, which has an oils and extracts manufacturing license, is currently being upgraded with additional equipment (http://nnw.fm/o6mFk).

Furthermore, Sunniva recently broke ground at a recently acquired facility, in Canada, with similar production capacity, and work is now continuing at that 126-acre site in Okanagan Falls, British Columbia. The 740,000 square foot facility will have an estimated output capacity of 100,000 kilos annually and is expected to become operational in Q1 2019. About 75 percent of its output will be pre-sold on a wholesale basis (http://nnw.fm/x5YQd).

Natural Health Services Ltd. is a network of medical cannabis clinics in Canada that offers patients access to medical practitioners specializing in the endocannabinoid system. This Sunniva subsidiary also connects patients with licensed producers through its SPARK proprietary software system, allowing Sunniva to capture revenue from patient purchases. As soon as the facilities become operational, Sunniva intends to start marketing its own produced cannabis  The network currently has over 95,000 patients (over one-third of all Canadian medical cannabis patients), and it has agreements in place with 27 licensed producers.

Sunniva’s seed-to-sale, vertically integrated structure is also bolstered by its Full Scale Distributers (FSD) subsidiary, which markets vaporizers and accessories under the Vapor Connoisseur brand. FSD also provides white label packaging and labelling services to over 80 brands in North America, making it a clear leader in the space. It will design custom vapor hardware for any specification of cannabis oil or concentrate. Now, with the addition of the Sun Oil Facility, customers can also have their extraction and processing done; cartridges can be filled, assembled, labeled and packaged according to their own standards and branding, as well as shipped to their final destinations.

The company recently announced voting results of the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 27, 2018 (http://nnw.fm/y23GS).

$FRSX Self-Driving & EVs Combining to Make the Cars of the Future

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Self-driving and electric cars are poised to combine production efforts as both technologies mature.

  • Investment in self-driving vehicles is growing, leading to the emergence of specialist companies.
  • Electric cars are also on the rise, supported by the infrastructure of apps and charging points.
  • Both engineering and human factors suggest that these technologies are likely to combine.
  • Support from the Chinese government is pushing these technologies forward in one of the world’s most important markets.

The growth of advanced automotive technology has led to the rise of companies such as Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: FRSX) (TASE: FRSX) (FRSX Profile), an innovator in advanced vision sensor systems for assistant driving, semi and fully autonomous vehicles. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is pairing sensor technology with electric motor vehicles and has recently found a foothold in China. General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) will start mass production of self-driving vehicles next year and has been pushing its latest electric SUV to the Chinese market. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is developing a sophisticated self-driving system that fuses multiple sensor inputs. And Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) has joined the sector by acquiring Mobileye, bringing its technological clout to sensor technology.

Two Trends Becoming One

Two important trends in car design have been emerging over the past 20 years. One is the shift toward electric vehicles. Driven by a desire for cleaner air, better health and a more sustainable planet, designers have been creating vehicles that can reduce pollution by running on electricity instead of gas.

The other trend is a shift toward autonomous vehicles. These self-driving cars will not only save travelers from the laboriousness of driving, they are also expected to reduce traffic accidents and increase the efficiency of traffic flows by removing human error from decision-making on the road. For years, these two developments have existed in parallel. Now they’re coming together.

Parallel Developments

Though many people still see self-driving cars as science fiction dreams, such vehicles are coming close to reality. Big players such as Tesla and General Motors are pushing forward with this technology, showing their faith in the market. Alongside them, a wealth of smaller specialist businesses, including Foresight Autonomous Holdings (NASDAQ: FRSX) (TASE: FRSX), are emerging to provide critical components.

Foresight’s growth provides an example of how the market has matured. Founded in 2015, the company designs, develops and commercializes vision sensor systems for assistant driving, semi and fully autonomous vehicles. These systems include sensors, processors and software that allow a vehicle to make sense of that information. As explained in a CNBC article on “What Driving Will Look Like in 2028,” these systems serve as the eyes of a self-driving vehicle and will be vital to the automated-driving industry’s success. There’s enough interest in automated driving not only to support a specialist company such as Foresight but to also see it flourish.

Meanwhile, electric cars are already on the streets in commercial production. Hybrids have become the first choice of environmentally conscious drivers. Charging points are springing up in cities across the world, with specialist apps available to help drivers find charging points. While both sectors are diversifying individually, with specialist services such as these apps and Foresight’s passive sensors, they are also growing closer together.

Related Developments

Analysis by Lux research indicates that battery-powered engines and sensor-equipped self-driving vehicle manufacturing will almost inevitably merge with each other. There are practical engineering reasons for this, tied to the batteries of electric vehicles. It will be far easier for a self-driving car to drive into a wireless charging station than to refuel at a gas station where a human being must be available to pump gas.

In addition, the voltage and storage capacity of an electrical vehicle’s battery are better suited than the capacity of a conventional fossil fuel-powered car’s battery for sustaining self-driving equipment such as Foresight’s sensors and processors. This gives designers more freedom to create the best possible sensor and processing technology for self-driving vehicles.

Automated driving could help to solve one of the biggest drawbacks of electric cars: driving distance ranges. Automated driving leads to more efficient driving, reducing a vehicle’s fuel consumption and allowing electric cars to travel farther before they need to recharge.

The behavior of consumers will also play a part in this merging trend. Early adopters who pay a high price for Tesla’s electric cars are more likely to try out other innovations, such as the self-driving vehicles that use vision sensors like Foresight’s. They will want to see these features combined, and manufacturers will be keen to fulfill this request because winning the support of this group is vital to the success of any product.

Both technologies are expected to mature enough for mainstream use around the same time. They are forecast to hit the mass market together, and so it will make commercial sense to combine them.

And finally, the behavior of governments will push the technologies together. The increased safety of self-driving vehicles will lead governments to encourage implementation of the vehicles. Many governments are already encouraging the use of electric cars over vehicles that use petroleum or diesel. As legislation enforces these changes, manufacturers will have to adopt both technologies.

Big in China

China is emerging as the dominant economic power of the 21st century, and therefore, the adoption of these technologies in that country will be critical. China’s leaders are eager to be at the forefront of emerging technologies. This is reflected in the way they have encouraged the country’s car manufacturers to adopt electric engines. Chinese manufacturers BAIC and Geely have both made recent pushes in this direction, while Chinese tech giant Baidu is accelerating the development of its self-driving vehicle platform.

This is good news for many tech companies outside of China, as it creates opportunities to sell self-driving and electric car technology in a rapidly growing market. A leading global Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer has already ordered a prototype of QuadSight vision system. If that company’s evaluation of QuadSight is positive, the system may then be built into a new range of autonomous electric vehicles, putting Foresight at the heart of these combined systems.

The Road to Electric and Automation

As interest in electric and automated vehicles grows, companies are tackling the resulting challenges in a range of different ways.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is already exploring both self-driving vehicles and electrics and, therefore, is one of the front-runners in the race to get an automated electric car to market. Its self-driving systems have suffered some setbacks in field testing as a result of accidents on the road, but the company has also scored some notable successes. Tesla recently reached a deal with the Chinese government to set up a factory in China, giving it access to that large and growing market. With capacity to produce 500,000 cars per year, this could easily become one of the most important car manufacturing plants in the world.

Established automotive giants are adapting to the changing consumer climate. General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) has announced that it will start mass production of a self-driving car for the first time next year at a plant in the United States. The company also has an eye on the Chinese market, where it recently showed off its latest electric car design for the first time. The Buick Enspire SUV went on display at Auto China 2018 in Beijing in April, drawing attention with its powerful and fast-charging technology.

Always striving to be at the forefront of technology, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been working on both electric and self-driving cars. Secrecy shrouds much of its work, but it is generally known that the company started on an electric car in 2014 before scaling back its operations to focus on self-driving systems for use with other manufacturers. A recent legal case has revealed some details about what Apple is doing, including fusing multiple inputs into a single sensor system to create a more sophisticated self-driving vehicle.

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC), another company not known for working with cars, has become a significant player through its recent acquisition of Mobileye. This subsidiary specializes in the production of advanced driver assistance systems, using sensors and processors to help people drive more safely and efficiently. This is the sort of technology that has laid the groundwork for self-driving and that is now being utilized in automatic vehicle systems.

Both self-driving and electric vehicles are developing quickly, thanks to the efforts of a growing number of companies. The two sectors appear certain to combine, giving both spaces a better chance to thrive. The adoption of both types of vehicles in China will only add to the momentum, increasing the chances that today’s drivers may live to see the cars of the future.

$RIOT P2P Cryptocurrency Marketplaces Draw Huge Interest From Bitcoin Traders

Palm Beach FL – July 24, 2018 – Bitcoin prices continue to rise after gaining nearly 15%, or $970 million, over a two week period. Publicly traded cryptocurrency companies are once again in the spotlight with interest in the sector renewed after the lengthy selloff that followed the all-time highs achieved throughout Q4 2017. These recent price changes have seen companies like HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSX-V:HIVE) (OTC:HVBTF), Hashchain Technology Inc. (TSX-V:KASH) (OTC:HSSHF), Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. (CSE:BLOC) (OTC:BLKCF), Riot Blockchain Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) and AXS Blockchain Solutions Inc. (CSE:BAXS) drastically increase their market caps over that same period. While the majority of these companies heavily focus on cryptocurrency mining, new innovations within the industry, like Peer-to-Peer (P2P) marketplaces, are drawing significant investment from some of the sector’s largest companies.

Centralized exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and others have provided access to the cryptocurrency markets during the industry’s formative years. As these exchanges continue to grow, so too do their fee structures, internal regulations, and other prohibitive measures that make it difficult for investors to take part in the cryptocurrency markets. In 2017, Coinbase received a valuation of $1.6 billion when they raised $100 million, with that number reaching as high as $8 billion in 2018.

Where the popular centralized exchanges leverage their size to provide access to the crypto markets, this access comes with a price. Transactions are completed through the exchanges with no interaction between buyers and sellers, fees are high and continue to grow, and withdrawing funds can take several days to weeks. These kinds of barriers are unattractive to traders who want to trade cryptos with minimal space restrictions.

The Growing Popularity of P2P Marketplaces

Peer-to-peer marketplaces have gained traction as reliable alternatives to major centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Binance. Recently Riot Blockchain Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) purchased 12.5% of Coinsquare (CEX) at a valuation of CAD$430 million, adding another strategic partnership to a growing roster of joint ventures.

AXS Blockchain Solutions Inc. (CSE:BAXS), a leading blockchain solutions company, has signed a letter of intent with Blockchain Foundry to develop a new P2P marketplace that will offer safety, security, transparency, and a seamless experience as part of its core offering.

Decentralized P2P marketplaces like Paxful and Localbitcoin offer a more personalized experience than some of the larger exchanges by eliminating the need for intermediary parties. According to Paxful co-founder’s Ray Youssef and Artur Schaback, their marketplace processed as many as 8,000 Bitcoin transactions per day in 2016. However, P2P exchanges like Paxful sacrifice basic security in favor of anonymity by avoiding the use of basic verification systems like KYC. This exposes investors to additional risks that can easily be avoided by seeking out safer marketplaces to trade on.

ZUBX P2P Marketplace – Creating a Centralized P2P Crypto Marketplace

Transparency is the backbone of blockchain technology. ZUBX will be developed by Blockchain Foundry upon signing of the development agreement.  Their development team was responsible for creating Syscoin, a token that is backed by technology that can process as many as 300,000 transactions per second, allows for instant asset transfers, and functions much like the eBay of P2P marketplaces.

The ZUBX P2P marketplace embraces the new P2P movement and will be offering a personalized trading experience that will include many of the security features that traders have come to expect from some of the major exchanges, but are unable to get from other P2P marketplaces. These features include:

  • Instant messaging capabilities that allow users to communicate and structure the terms of any deal before they take place. Determine if a specific buyer or seller is someone that you actually want to trade with.
  • Multi-coin support that will enable users to trade Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum. Additional coins may be added in future updates.
  • Escrow service.  Fiat and cryptocurrency validation to protect buyers and sellers.
  • Unparalleled privacy and security. ZUBX holds all crypto assets in cold storage using multi-signature wallets and 2FA authentication in order to protect assets that are being traded in our marketplace. You can trade knowing that sellers actually have the coins they are selling because we verify the existence of a seller’s cryptocurrencies before any trade can take place.
  • AML (anti-money laundering) and KYC (know your customer) verification in order to verify the legitimacy of users and to create a transparent trading experience.
  • Fast withdrawals that are designed to allow users to instantly withdraw their money using debit cards that actually work. Withdraw funds from anywhere where a debit card is accepted.
  • A comprehensive seller rating system that lets you assess the reputation of any buyer or seller that you are thinking of trading with. Seller ratings will be validated by the blockchain, providing buyers with a useful feedback tool to grade the quality of a seller.

Combining all of these features will create one of the safest and most efficient P2P crypto marketplaces to date. With Blockchain Foundry potentially heading the development of ZUBX, AXS Blockchain Solutions will be building the next generation of P2P marketplaces that provides a decentralized experience that includes the many features crypto traders want from centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Binance. Simple features such as instant messaging and ratings are attractive to traders who are interested in learning what type of people they are dealing with when engaging in a transaction. All trades on the ZUBX platform will be secure due to the fact that most of their funds are held in cold storage and require 2FA authentication. Not only does this create a secure trading experience for users, but it ensures that buyers know that the sellers actually have the cryptocurrencies they are trying to sell.

Companies Actively Investing in the Cryptocurrency Space

Companies such as HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V:HIVE) (OTCPK:HVBTF) are working to bridge the gap between cryptocurrency and traditional financial institutions. The company has partnered exclusively with Genesis Mining to facilitate easy and affordable mining services for customers of varying financial backgrounds. By leveraging low cost renewable energy, HIVE hopes to bring cryptocurrency mining to the masses.

Newcomers in the cryptocurrency mining space, Hashchain Technology Inc. (TSX.V:KASH) (OTCQB:HSSHF), offer a variety of cryptocurrency mining services including hosted on-site mining, DASH Masternode hosting, and Node40 Balance accounting. The company’s proprietary software runs 24/7 to ensure safe and stable mining operating at full efficiency.

Riot Blockchain Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) aims to gain exposure in the cryptocurrency industry by offering a diversity of blockchain-based services, joint ventures, and targeted investments. The company’s acquisition of Coinsquare, a leading Canadian cryptocurrency exchange, is their attempt to further establish their presence in a burgeoning industry.

Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. (CSE:BLOC) (OTCPK:BLKCF) are working to facilitate adoption in the cryptocurrency space by enabling traditional investors to invest in a basket of holdings without a deep technological understanding of the industry. Global Blockchain hopes to become the first vertically integrated originator and manager of digital currencies.

P2P Exchanges To Challenge Centralized Competitors

With the launch of ZUBX, major exchanges are poised to lose users as they will not be able to compete with a P2P marketplace that offers the same level as security that they do. When safety, security, and transparency are equal, users will always favor the platform that offers cheaper fees, faster transaction times, and the ability to withdraw your funds as quickly as possible. ZUBX promises to offer all of these things and more in order to create a better crypto trading experience for users that want to trade, invest, hedge, and diversify their portfolios.
