Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 6, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks, looks at the growing demand to fill top tier management positions as the sector enters a new era of maturity.
In a recent Forbes article, Jay Czarkowski, Co-founder of H2 Talent commented, "If I was a recruiting company and I reached out to one of these cannabis companies a few years ago, asked them for a fee and then tell them I'd find them an employee, they'd laugh. They weren't that sophisticated. Right now, there are cannabis companies that are raising $100 million in funding. They're looking for top-notch talent and not just within the industry but outside. They're willing to pay a firm like H2 Talent to find these top executives to be successful."
News of Carol Bartz, former CEO of Yahoo and Autodesk and former Cisco Board Member, joining Caliva's (one of the largest vertically integrated cannabis companies in California) Board of Directors, showcases the future of the sector.
Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. (CSE: HARV) (OTCQX: HTHHF), with one of the largest cannabis footprints in the US, holding medical cannabis licenses in nine states and having plans to continue expanding throughout the United States and abroad, is also bringing in the 'big guns' when adding to management.
Harvest recently announced the appointment of John Cochran, COO. Cochran is the former CEO of multistate cannabis company, Loudpack Inc., former CEO of Ole Smoky Distillery, former CEO of Pabst Brewing Company and former President and COO of Fiji Water Company.
"With an aggressive growth plan for 2019 and beyond, attracting a world-class executive like John to work with our talented team and lead Harvest's operations is very exciting," said Harvest CEO Steve White. "John's proven track record with some of the largest and best known multinational brands and companies will accelerate our growth as we aggressively expand into new markets. His cannabis experience is an added bonus."
The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF) headline of 'The Green Organic Dutchman Adds Deep Medical and Pharmaceutical Experience to its Board of Directors' shows the direction of the industry. The company announced the appointment of Dr. Caroline MacCallum and Jacques Dessureault to its Board of Directors.
"Dr. MacCallum's vast experience in cannabinoid research will be invaluable to TGOD," commented Brian Athaide, CEO & Director of TGOD. "She has been recognized by her peers in the medical industry as an expert in medical cannabis with a focus on dosing, which will be critical as we prepare to launch a suite of multi-dose products under the recently announced Responsible Regulation of Edible Cannabis Products in Canada," continued Athaide.
Athaide went on, saying, "Mr. Dessureault's senior executive and entrepreneurial experience in growing businesses, improving efficiency and leading research & development teams will be invaluable to TGOD. As we advance the research and development arms of our Company, including our beverage science and research division, Jacques' experience will be critical to launching new novel and innovative product lines."
Another multi-state operator, Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (CSE: CURA) (OTCBB: CURLF) announced leadership team expansion with two new executive appointments. Neil Davidson was appointed CFO and Todd Goffman was appointed General Counsel and Secretary.
Curaleaf also announced two additional changes to further support the rapid growth of the business. Peter Clateman has been appointed EVP, Business Development, and Jonathan Faucher, EVP, Finance, will shift his focus to the business in Florida, a key growth state for the Company.
Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA.TO) (NYSE: APHA), aiming to reestablish itself as an industry leader in the cannabis space, strategically used a key hire in December 2018, with the appointment of Irwin D. Simon as Independent Chair of Aphria's Board of Directors. Vic Neufeld, the current Chair, will remain Aphria's Chief Executive Officer and Director. Neufeld had been the target of negative media publicity and Simon's entry was a signal to the market they understood the significance of management.
Mr. Simon founded The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., a leading organic and natural products company in 1993. As Founder, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Mr. Simon lead Hain Celestial for 25 years, growing the business to approximately US$3.0 billion in net sales including operations in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
The head-hunting has only just begun as we enter 2019, a year which may define the future of this industry as this will be the first full year of recreational cannabis sales in Canada, medical sales in Massachusetts, US Hemp and CBD production, and the introduction of legal consumables in Canada.

Investorideas.com - Changing North Americas Agricultural Landscape with Cannabis Technology; (OTC: $ETII) (TASE: CSURE) (CSE: $VGW.C) (OTC: $VGWCF) (TSX: $OGI.TO) (OTC: $OGRMF) (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC)

Changing North Americas Agricultural Landscape with Cannabis Technology; (OTC: $ETII) (TASE: CSURE) (CSE: $VGW.C) (OTC: $VGWCF) (TSX: $OGI.TO) (OTC: $OGRMF) (TSX: $WEED.TO) (NYSE: $CGC)


Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 6, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot focusing on how cannabis technologies are changing the agricultural space.
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..

Investorideas.com - How Technology is Evolving for Consumer Protection; How FICO (NYSE: $FICO), Mobiquity Technologies (OTCQB: $MOBQ), NICE (NASDAQ: $NICE) and ACI (NASDAQ: $ACIW) are Providing Solutions

Investorideas.com - How Technology is Evolving for Consumer Protection; How FICO (NYSE: $FICO), Mobiquity Technologies (OTCQB: $MOBQ), NICE (NASDAQ: $NICE) and ACI (NASDAQ: $ACIW) are Providing Solutions



How Technology is Evolving for Consumer Protection; How FICO (NYSE: $FICO), Mobiquity Technologies (OTCQB: $MOBQ), NICE (NASDAQ: $NICE) and ACI (NASDAQ: $ACIW) are Providing Solutions


New York, NY and Delta, BC - February 6, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering technology stocks releases a snapshot looking at technologies role in detecting online fraud 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."

Today's podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com "potcast", looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.
Today we are looking at announcements from FSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE) (OTC: FSDDF), EMPOWER CLINICS INC. (CSE: EPW), Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. (CSE:ISH), Crop Infrastructure Corp. (CSE: CROP) (OTC: CRXPF) and Target Group Inc. (OTCQB: CBDY).
FSD Pharma Inc. and Solarvest BioEnergy Inc. (TSX-V: SVS), a technology company which has developed an algal-based flexible production platform capable of producing health products, announced that they have signed a non-binding letter of intent. The parties intend to enter into a definitive agreement, under which Solarvest would conduct research using its algal expression technology to develop pharma-grade cannabinoids, the Parties would make mutual investments into one another, and Solarvest would grant FSD Pharma an exclusive license over a subset of the Project Cannabinoids and certain royalty rights over all of the other Project Cannabinoids.
EMPOWER CLINICS INC. announced that it intends to partner with Datametrex AI Limited and its subsidiary, Canntop AI Inc., to create a pilot program that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyze and gain insights about Empower patient data, physician treatment recommendations and overall long-term efficacy of patient care.
The Company further intends to use Canntop's AI platform to gain actionable insights on how consumer social data is generating nationwide interest in CBD based products, alternative pain management options and the use of cannabis-based therapies.
The pilot program is expected to utilize Empower patient data in a HIPAA compliant manner, to determine if normalized data can be generated using Datametrex AI solutions to understand how patient care and efficacy of physician-guided treatment recommendations are positively impacting serious qualifying conditions of patients.
"We believe using AI tools to analyze the substantial amounts of data in the Empower database and the additional data from the recently announced proposed Sun Valley acquisition can make Empower a data science leader in the cannabis industry," said Steven McAuley, Empower's Chief Executive Officer. "We believe the outcomes of our AI efforts, if successful, could position the Company as an educational leader and we plan to collaborate with the industry to ultimately improve patient care."
Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. today announced further progress on its corporate store strategy by acquiring additional locations in Calgary and Canmore, Alberta. Inner Spirit is developing a retail network of Spiritleaf branded cannabis retail locations across Canada.
The Company is building its corporate store portfolio in Alberta with approximately 10 wholly owned corporate locations to support its franchise network and enhance top-line revenue growth. The franchise network is being developed with more than 100 franchise agreements signed and four locations currently open in Alberta and Saskatchewan with a fifth location expected to open in Calgary the week of February 11.
"We are focused on creating a national Spiritleaf brand and providing consistent experiences and quality products for cannabis consumers. We're doing this with a blend of corporate and franchise stores, so we enter markets effectively and efficiently to build the brand. Prime strategic corporate locations like the ones acquired today provide us with flagship stores, a growing source of revenue and a platform for our expansion across the country," said Darren Bondar, President and CEO of Inner Spirit.
Target Group Inc. announced, that effective January 25, 2019, it has entered into an agreement to acquire Massachusetts-based CannaKorp Inc. CannaKorp is the holder of the patent-pending WISP™ vaporizing system.
The WISP™ is a pod-based, herbal vaporizing system that uses precisely measured, sealed and tested WISP™ Pods containing dried, ground botanicals. The WISP™ vaporizer, used together with WISP™ Pods, gives cannabis users the predictability and assurance to know what they're inhaling with every use, without the hassle of grinding, measuring, or packing. For the rapidly evolving market of cannabis consumers who prefer vaporization, Wisp™ presents a proven method of delivery with unique bioavailability benefits and avoids the health concerns associated with the combustion of cannabis and other herbs.
Target Group is acquiring CannaKorp's operations in the United States and Canada. The acquisition will facilitate Target Group's expansion of cannabis operations, and position the Company's brand portfolio for global distribution. Target Group will continue executing its global expansion strategy, which is focused on acquiring and developing quality cannabis brands and solidifying long-term growth and stability in vital markets across the globe.
Crop Infrastructure Corp. announced today that final inspection has been completed at its THC cultivation, production, commercial kitchen and extraction facility in Nevada. The final medical and recreational licenses are expected to be granted later this month.
Meanwhile, construction continues there on the 40-acre perimeter wall for outdoor and greenhouse production. The 40-acre outdoor project is expected to cost $500,000 and is forecast to yield 80,000 pounds of high quality, organically grown outdoor cannabis which will be mostly for sale to extractors and for the company's tenant extraction quotas. The project is now 50% paid for.
The company is now accepting off take and supply agreements requests for 2019 harvest.
CROP CEO, Michael Yorke, stated: "With our ultra low cost, organic outdoor focus in Nevada, our tenant farms will provide extractors with cost effective extraction materials giving both CROP and our tenants a significant competitive advantage in Nevada for the 2019 season and beyond."

Nikkei Asian Review reports that three of Japan's largest banking groups - Mizuho Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group - have cancelled plans for a peer-to-peer remittance service linked to mobile phone numbers. The article states that the three groups felt the project had become redundant and that each party preferred to develop their own digital services.
CoinDesk reports that Singapore-based crypto exchange giant Huobi's U.S. sister-exchange, HBUS, will launch USD-to-crypto trading for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and the U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin Tether (USDT), in a bid to expand its North American market. Speaking to CoinDesk, HBUS CEO Frank Fu explained that the company had even more ambitious plans following the aforementioned fiat-to-crypto trading:
"Once we establish partnerships with our institutional clients and put in place the required regulatory and compliance structure, we should be able to offer innovative products and financial services to larger audiences, such as ... potential ETFs and derivatives."
Cheddar reports that Facebook (NasdaqGS:FB) has made its first acquisition in the blockchain space in hiring the team behind blockchain startup Chainspace. Chainspace is known for building a smart contracts platform using blockchain technology. Though having hired some of their employees, a spokesperson for Facebook confirmed that they would not be acquiring any of Chainspace's technology. The spokesperson told Cheddar:
"Like many other companies, Facebook is exploring ways to leverage the power of blockchain technology. This new small team is exploring many different applications. We don't have anything further to share."
