Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 5, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot focusing on the new agritech wave of innovation in the cannabis sector.
Since the passage of the Farm Bill late last year, the development and distribution of CBD and hemp products nationwide has greatly expanded, creating a need for new agricultural technologies.
EnviroTechnologies International, Inc. (OTC: ETII), a company that develops and markets green, natural and organic products, recently confirmed that it is preparing to introduce its patent pending water treatment technology to licensed cannabis growers in the northwest. The EO Machines will help eliminate growth-impeding pathogens and stimulate harvest yields.
"What hasn't been covered as much is the potential and existence of fungal and contaminants that are prevalent in nearly all phases of plant growth, harvest, and post-harvest product processing of hemp and cannabis," said Gaylord Karren, ETI's President.
ETII also recently reported their estimated 2018 revenues and first quarter equipment orders under contract. "During this last month, we have received great interest in our EO Equipment and have signed more purchase orders," said Randall Waters, ETI's Vice President, Sales & Marketing. "First quarter, 2019 revenues will be approximately $605,000 and contracts for second quarter, 2019 are expected to be $885,000."
"We are particularly excited about the acceptance of our EO Machines and equipment in the agriculture world - with the apple farms in the northwest and the emerging CBD, cannabis industry," said Waters. "There are literally thousands of apple, cannabis and fruit farmers in the US that will benefit greatly from our proprietary technology, which will help them retain a much greater crop harvest and achieve higher yields by sanitizing their crops and eliminating dangerous and yield-stunting fungal and bacteria, particularly in the CBD, hemp and cannabis farming."
Cannassure Therapeutics (TASE: CSURE), a subsidiary of Solbar Food Technologies Ltd., a 57 year-old producer of plant based raw materials and solutions for the food and food additives industries, went a different route with the recent announcement of its collaboration with Cannika Holdings, an agritech incubator specializing in cannabis innovation.
Nir Peles, Interim Chairman of Cannassure commented: "We are delighted about this collaboration with Cannika. We are committed to medical cannabis innovation for the purpose of enhancing treatment and improving the quality of life of people worldwide with medical cannabis products. Having a cannabis technological incubator on our campus is directly in line with our strategy, activity and goals. Cannika's leadership team has extensive knowledge and experience in the fields of agritech, science, and business development which gives them the ability to support early stage, cannabis initiatives and fast track their path to successful commercialization."
Valens GroWorks Corp. (CSE: VGW) (OTC: VGWCF), a multi-licensed, vertically integrated provider of cannabis products and services focused on various proprietary extraction methodologies, distillation, cannabinoid isolation and purification, as well as associated quality testing, announced that it has entered into a multi-year extraction services agreement with Organigram Inc. (TSXV: OGI) (OTC: OGRMF) for cannabis and hemp extraction services.
Valens subsidiary, Valens Agritech (VAL) holds a license to cultivate cannabis and produce cannabis oil under the Cannabis Act, as well as a license to conduct analytical testing for the cannabis industry and currently has extraction processing and supply agreements with other leading producers across Canada
"Looking ahead to another year of unprecedented firsts in the national and global cannabis industries, our growth strategy is aggressive," says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. "A key element of that success is partnerships with companies like Valens who can offer the capacity, quality and expertise to help ensure we deliver on our ongoing commitment to meeting the increasing demand of the global medical and adult recreational cannabis markets."
VAL also has a supply agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation ( TSX: WEED) ( NYSE: CGC) under their extensive CraftGrow distribution network. Canopy  announced in December 2018 that it had entered into a multi-year extraction agreement with Valens GroWorks Corp.
The US agriculture industry suffered years of stagnation under the crop monopoly of corn, but perhaps hemp and eventually cannabis, will allow companies like EnviroTechnologies International (OTC: ETII) and Valens to create a new era of agriculture and bring advanced technology to the US Farmer, improving yield, efficiency, and profitability..

Instances of #Fraud on the Rise, but are Matched by Robust Industry Responses; How FICO (NYSE: $FICO), Mobiquity Technologies (OTCQB: $MOBQ), NICE (NASDAQ: $NICE) and ACI (NASDAQ: $ACIW) are Providing Solutions - #Fraudetection


New York, NY and Delta, BC - February 5, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering technology stocks releases a snapshot looking at fraud detection and management solutions.
Research from Mordor Intelligence indicates that the global Fraud Detection and Prevention (FDP) Market will grow as high $29.07 billion USD by 2023. Another study, from Markets and Markets, puts the number even higher, projecting a value of $63.5 billion by 2023. Both cite online transactions, including cyber fraud, and payments fraud as key drivers for growth in the space.
Payments fraud resulting from payment cards losses, totaled $24.26 billion in the last year according to recent data. Analytical software firm FICO (NYSE:FICO) utilizes artificial intelligence in its Falcon Fraud Platform to analyze and protect payment card transactions. Alexandre Graff, Vice President of FICO in Latin America explained:
"Falcon is an artificial intelligence solution based on dozens of machine learning patents that excel at detecting transactional fraud. Falcon models are based on the largest data fraud consortium in the world, the Falcon Intelligence Network. Conductor will also offer omnichannel communication based on FICO Customer Communication Services, which further reduces false positives and takes user experience to a higher level. For example, when the system identifies abnormal behavior, it communicates directly with the user's preferred communication channel to confirm whether it is fraud or not."
Another sore spot is ad fraud, which was projected to have cost $19 billion last year - or 9 percent of total digital advertiser spending - and will total $44 billion by 2022, according to a survey from Juniper Research. Recently, Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. (OTC:MOBQ) responded to this with the release of its transparent ad fraud reporting system, AdCop, through its Advangelists platform.
According to a recent press release"AdCop monitors for programmatic fraud post bid impression. If AdCop suspects fraud, the Advangelists platform renders a blank page instead of an advertiser's advertisement as a brand safety measure. In addition, the platform's comprehensive reporting provides advertisers and publishers full transparency and details around the fraud detected."
Advangelists CEO Deep Katyal explained that the company is currently giving away the beta program of AdCop for free.
"We believe so strongly in our product, that today, I'm excited to announce our free AdCop beta program," said Katyal. "Participating beta partners can monitor their ad campaign impression level fraud for free; they do not need to be a Client of Advangelists or purchase media through our platform."
Another firm addressing fraud detection and management via artificial intelligence is NICE, Ltd. (NasdaqGS:NICE), whose NICE Actimize division recently announced the IFM-X, its "next-generation Integrated Fraud Management (IFM) platform that leverages automation and machine learning to optimize effectiveness while reducing the total cost of implementing and operating an enterprise fraud risk management system". NICE Actimize CEO, Craig Costigan said:
"Rapidly changing demands in the fraud marketplace led NICE Actimize to develop the new IFM-X platform in response to our customers' challenging requirements," Costigan said. "This new platform unleashes the power of our market-leading fraud expertise coupled with expert-led machine learning technology to enable superior protection against constantly evolving and malicious fraud attacks."
ACI Worldwide, Inc. (NasdaqGS:ACIW) actually integrates fraud detection directly in their UP eCommerce Payments Solution. The award-winning cloud-based platform boasts sophisticated real-time fraud detection capabilities and prevents fraud while maintaining conversion rates. The seamless integration allows merchants to continue providing quality customer experiences while the fraud filter works in the background.
So, while data indicates that payment fraud is growing and ad fraud statistics are getting increasingly bleak, there is simultaneously a vigorous response coming from the FDP space. Katyal emphasizes the role of transparency in the space;
"Fraud hurts everyone in the industry. We believe programmatic media should be fully transparent, from cost transparency through to fully understanding the nature of fraudulent activity within your advertising partners."

Investorideas.com Newswire - The #AI EYE – How #ArtificialIntelligence in creating a new era of efficiency in multiple industries; (NYSE: $DE) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTCQB: $STLHF) (NASDAQ: $ISRG) (NYSE: $BA)

Investorideas.com Newswire - The #AI EYE – How #ArtificialIntelligence in creating a new era of efficiency in multiple industries; (NYSE: $DE) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTCQB: $STLHF) (NASDAQ: $ISRG) (NYSE: $BA)



The #AI EYE – How #ArtificialIntelligence in creating a new era of efficiency in multiple industries; (NYSE: $DE) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (OTCQB: $STLHF) (NASDAQ: $ISRG) (NYSE: $BA)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 5, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at how this technology is disrupting multiple industry verticals and shifting them into a new era of efficiency.
Recent data from Transparency Market Research indicates that the broader global AI market is projected to hit $3.06 trillion USD by 2024. However, though AI's seemingly inexorable rise is widely reported, it is also notable how the technology is being seized upon to disrupt various industry verticals and usher sectors into a new era of efficiency and innovation.
One of these is the agriculture industry. Digital Journal cites research from HTF Market Intelligence showing that AI in agriculture will be worth $2.63 billion USD by 2025. Deere & Company (NYSE:DE), the makers of John Deere tractors, are at the vanguard of this with their acquisition of computer vision and robotics company Blue River Technology in 2017. Chicago Business Journal reports that at CES 2019, Deere exhibited an AI-powered, self-driving tractor which can "save many crops" that even experienced drivers couldn't avoid destroying. Alex Purdy, head of John Deere labs, told the publication:
"We certainly are known for our muscle on the farm. We want to be equally as known for the brains on the farm. We've been investing for dozens of years on technology and solutions that have really transformed agriculture that augment the muscle to be a lot more intelligent. So, this is kind of our coming out party to the tech audience.... We are now here really to open [ourselves] up to the world."
The lithium-ion battery market currently faces the problem of high demand but with a potential supply shock. While the market is projected to hit $139.36 billion by 2026, environmentally conscious regulation and mine shortages threaten the vitality of the industry. One company, Standard Lithium (TSXV:SLL) (OTCQB:STLHF), has responded by developing and implementing AI enabled high-speed, multi-image photo-microscopy and computer image recognition in a prototype pilot plant for lithium carbonate crystallization. The new tech has resulted in the company producing its first quantity of commercial grade battery quality lithium carbonate at the prototype plant. It's a very simple process that isolates and removes lithium from underground water formations. It's clean, cheap and FAST. This technological breakthrough reduces the time to extract lithium from 18 months to 1 hour.
Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Standard Lithium, commented:
"Whilst we had previously made 'battery quality' carbonate at bench scale using our proprietary technology, we consider it an important milestone that we can achieve the same very high levels of purity at the larger scale of our prototype pilot. This has provided Standard Lithium, our Technical Team and our design partners with all the confidence needed to commence detailed design on the main crystallization pilot plant, and this work is now ongoing."
Real advances are also being achieved with AI in healthcare, a market which is projected to grow from USD 2.1 billion in 2018 to USD 36.1 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 50.2% during the forecast period. Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) is one of the best examples of how AI and robotics can make quantum leaps in healthcare. Using robotics and AI to advance surgical technology, the company's  da Vinci Surgical System was one of the first robotic-assisted, minimally invasive surgical systems cleared by the FDA. Today, a family of da Vinci systems and technologies is used by surgeons in all 50 U.S. states and 66 countries around the world
Calling it the next era of surgical innovation, for narrow access urologic surgery, the da Vinci SP® system enables surgeons to operate through one incision. Designed to complement the da Vinci X® and da Vinci Xi® systems, the da Vinci SP provides surgeons with a familiar user experience for single port access.
The aviation market is also being disrupted by AI technology, with research from Technavio indicating a CAGR of nearly 38 percent from 2018-2022. The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA), which is one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world and over a century old, recently completed the first test flight of its autonomous passenger air vehicle (PAV) prototype in Manassas, Virginia, executing a controlled takeoff, hover and landing. Steve Nordlund, vice president and general manager of Boeing NeXt, said:
"Boeing was there when the aviation industry was born and in our second century, we will unlock the potential of the urban air mobility market. From building air vehicles to airspace integration, we will usher in a future of safe, low-stress mobility in cities and regions around the world."
Artificial Intelligence is already widely recognized as a transformative technology in its own right, but its disruptive effect on varied sectors across the economy is an increasingly significant story as well.

The Race for the Premier Retail #Cannabis Market and Brands; (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC), (CSE: $GGB.C) (OTCQB: $GGBXF), (TSX: $ACB.TO) (NYSE: $ACB), (CSE: $CURA.C) ($CURLF)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 5, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the future of the retail cannabis market and companies competing for market share.
According to New Frontier Data, there are an estimated 272 million cannabis consumers globally, equivalent to 4% of the world's population; and more importantly, these consumers collectively spend approximately $356 billion each year on cannabis across legal and illicit markets.
With all this at stake, cannabis companies are positioning themselves in the retail markets with an acquisition strategy targeting premier retail brands.
In September 2018, Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (NYSE: CGCannounced the closing of the acquisition of Hiku Brands to strengthen their retail and brand portfolio.
"Leaves begin to turn. Canopy adds bold new brands. Ready for retail," commented Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "The Tweed and Vert brands we've built are now complemented with the likes of DOJA, Tokyo Smoke, Maitri, and Van der Pop, placing the taste-makers of tomorrow's cannabis industry on the same team."
In October 2018, Canopy announced the launch of a new brand for the recreational market in Canada; LBS. The LBS brand slogan - "Worth Its Weight In Gold" - is a reference to the care and quality put into the brand's products and also to its roots in California, the Golden State.
Talking about the brand, Mark Zekulin, President & Co-CEO said, "Canopy Growth was founded to pursue a 'house of brands' strategy in order to be inclusive across multiple demographics and across multiple cannabis markets."
Using a similar strategy, Green Growth Brands, Inc. (CSE:GGB.CN) (GGBXFplans to grow the world's premier cannabis retailing business. On January 30th the company announced it executed an arm's length definitive agreement to acquire control of ZLJT LLC & Arizona Natural Pain Solutions Inc., collectively referred to as "Desert Rose". Desert Rose holds a license for a vertically-integrated operation in Arizona, including retail, cultivation & infusion (kitchen).
"We were very impressed with the quality of the operations held by Arizona Natural Pain Solutions," said Green Growth Brands CEO, Peter Horvath. "At Desert Rose, the team is dedicated to providing their customers with medical marijuana products that are pure, safe and efficient, while striving to keep their costs as affordable as possible."
According to the website, "Green Growth Brands expects to dominate the cannabis and CBD market with a portfolio of emotion-driven brands that people love. Led by Peter Horvath, the GGB team is full of retail and consumer packaged goods experts with decades of experience building successful brands."
In December 2018, Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB.TO) (NYSE: ACBannounced that it entered into an agreement to invest $10 million in High Tide Inc., a privately held, Alberta-based, retail-focused cannabis and lifestyle accessories company.
High Tide is developing an expanding network across Canada of cannabis and cannabis accessory retail stores, as well as manufacturing and distributing branded cannabis accessories which positions it exceptionally well to capitalize on the Canadian adult-use cannabis industry. Through its two wholesale businesses, Famous Brandz and RGR Canada and the 19 existing Smoker's Corner retail locations, High Tide serves more than 170,000 retail customers per year.
Getting it right when it comes to retail and branding for the cannabis sector is Curaleaf Holdings (CSE: CURA) (OTCBB: CURLF). Curaleaf is the largest national retail dispensary brand in the US, as well as a premium mainstream cannabis brand available in multiple states and product formats. The company targeted retail channels include: E-commerce (DTC), e-retailers, the natural products/wellness sections of grocery stores and mass merchandisers, high-end spas, pet stores, vape shops, and dispensaries.
Just like any other sector, the cannabis consumer's brand experience will lead to the success of each company. As they jockey for position, Green Growth Brands (CSE:GGB.CN) (GGBXF) is betting on a team that knows the retail market and all about 'going for the gold'.

Investorideas.com - Investing in #cannabis companies and the land they own; (CSE: $HARV.C) (OTCQX: $HTHHF) (CSE: $MMEC.C) (OTCQX: $MMNF) (CSE: $IAN.C) (OTCQX: $ITHUF)

Investing in #cannabis companies and the land they own; (CSE: $HARV.C) (OTCQX: $HTHHF) (CSE: $MMEC.C) (OTCQX: $MMNF) (CSE: $IAN.C) (OTCQX: $ITHUF)



Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 5, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the cannabis "land grab" happening in the US and Canada as companies focus on increasing their real estate footprint.
recent CNBC article discussed how the super wealthy have started to invest more into cannabis companies and the land they own. In the article, Michael Sonnenfeldt, founder of investment club Tiger 21, that has numbers upwards of 700 and have a total of $71 billion under management, commented on investing in the cannabis sector saying, "Sometimes it's owning the land that cannabis is grown on, sometimes it's owning the real estate where there are factories, if you will, and sometimes it's owning the companies and then, of course, there's the public market."
Companies like Innovative Industrial Properties' (NYSE: IIPR), a self-advised Maryland corporation focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized industrial properties leased to experienced, state-licensed operators for their regulated medical-use cannabis facilities seem to be a harbinger of this investment trend.
In recent news, the company was reported closing at $61.92, outpacing the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.86%, with shares of the company having gained 33.52% over the past month, outpacing the finance sector's gain of 9.7% and the S&P 500's gain of 8.11% in that time.
Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HTHHF), a vertically integrated public cannabis company, has decided to skip the middleman with regards to real estate and amassed one of the largest footprints in the U.S, with 60 licenses across 12 US states.
The company recently announced the Ohio Department of Commerce, pending background checks, will award the company a provisional processor license under Ohio's Medical Marijuana Control Program. The application scored among the top 26 after being judged on a series of standards and merits, including relevant experience across multiple verticals in the cannabis space, prior demonstration of compliance, financial viability and proposed community benefits.
"Ohio has an important long-term role in the cannabis industry," said Steve White, Founder and CEO of Harvest. "It has the seventh largest state economy, a skilled manufacturing workforce and a growing patient count. We are thrilled to open fully vertical operations and look forward to contributing to the Buckeye economy for years to come. This is a solid win for us, coming on the heels of big retail victories in Pennsylvania and Santa Monica, California."
Cannabis companies like MedMen Enterprises (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQX: MMNFF) have also realized the investment to be made in cannabis real estate. MedMen and Stable Road Capital, a Venice, California-based investment firm with a successful track record in real estate and cannabis, recently founded Treehouse Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a newly organized real estate investment company focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized retail and industrial properties leased for use as regulated adult-use and medical-use cannabis facilities.
Treehouse announced last week that it has completed its offering of 6,676,000 shares of its common stock (the "Common Stock") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $133.5 million. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, and Northland Securities, Inc. acted as the initial purchasers/placement agents for the offering.
iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. (CSE: IAN) (OTCQX: ITHUF) and MPX Bioceutical Corporation just announced that the previously announced plan of arrangement in which iAnthus will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of MPX is now expected to close on or before February 5, 2019.
The combined company, excluding MPX International, will encompass operations and cannabis licenses in 10 states that will permit iAnthus to operate 56 retail locations and 14 cultivation/processing facilities. As a result of the transaction, iAnthus will add retail and/or production capabilities in Arizona, Maryland, Nevada, California and Massachusetts. These additional licenses complement iAnthus' existing assets in New York, Florida, Massachusetts, Vermont, Colorado, and New Mexico, forming super-regional footprints in both the Eastern and Western United States.
The land grab for the US and Canadian cannabis retail and industrial real estate market is on and multi-state operators such as Harvest One (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HTHHF) may have the upper hand against the Canadian companies just beginning to enter into the US.
