Today’s Column- The AI Eye- Watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence

Stocks discussed: (OTCPINK:GTCH) (TSXV:DM)

GBT Technologies Inc. (OTCPINK:GTCH) has announced the beginning of its development of qTerm, an intelligent human vital signs device. Development will be done through GBT Tokenize Corp., the company’s joint venture with Tokenize-It, S.A. Using temperature and optical sensors, qTerm measures a user’s vital signs like temperature, heart rate and blood pressure, and alerts them of any abnormalities in real time. Danny Rittman, GBT’s CTO, explained:

"As part of our efforts to move forward into the medical field, we started the design of a smart device to assist with rapid measurement and reporting of body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure. We intend for the device to be enclosed in a compact case and will be easy and intuitive to use. The system will include GPS technology. We will embed our AI technology to enable the rapid measurement of accurate vital signs in real time. In case of abnormalities like high body temperature or heart rate, the system can provide an audible and visual alert.”

Datametrex AI Limited (TSXV:DM) has established a joint venture with international conglomerate Lotte Group to co-bid on contracts with the Ministry of Health in South Korea. According to the press release, “Datametrex and LOTTE recently agreed to create a JV using its AI and other relevant technologies to improve the accuracy and transparency of data which includes ability to filter disinformation for the Ministry of Health Department in South Korea.” Datametrex CEO Marshall Gunter said:

“I am thrilled to share this update with shareholders, our team has done a fantastic job [of] fast tracking with LOTTE. The work we have done this past year training our technology in various languages such as Korean, Chinese, French, and Russian is really starting to pay off.”

Global AI-Based Personalization Market to Grow by $304 Million from 2018-2022

A report from Technavio finds that the global AI-based Personalization market will grow by $304 million from 2018-2022 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 13 percent in the forecast period. An excerpt from the report snapshot gives an overview of the market:

Customer behavior drives the need for personalization of messages which can be made more effective using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. By using this technology, messages can be sent based on previous orders, searches, clicks, time spent on pages, interests, wish lists. The need for personalization of messages and high unsubscribe rate for mass marketing will drive the growth of the artificial intelligence personalization market size during the forecast period.
The integration of AI with augmented reality will be one of the key AI-based personalization market trends that will gain traction over the forecast period. Several brands in the retail industry are using graphic illustrator that allows their target customers to try products through mobile applications or websites. The graphics illustrator can identify facial features and then use augmented reality to apply the product on the desired body part. Such advances in technology will result in an increase in artificial intelligence personalization market size during the forecast period.

#CryptoCorner: #Bitcoin Breaks $7K, Argo #Blockchain Hits Record Mining Numbers, BIS Looks at #COVID19 Impact on CBDCs



#CryptoCorner: #Bitcoin Breaks $7K, Argo #Blockchain Hits Record Mining Numbers, BIS Looks at #COVID19 Impact on CBDCs



Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC April 6, 2020 -  Investorideas.com, a leader in crypto and blockchain investing news brings you today’s edition of the Crypto Corner podcast and commentary on what’s driving the cryptocurrency market .

Listen to today’s Crypto Corner Podcast:  



Stocks discussed: (LSE:ARB)

The crypto market is looking quite green as we begin another week. Bitcoin (BTC) is in the midst of a rally, having broken past a $7,000 trading price early this morning after spending the weekend just below it, according to data from CoinMarketCap. At press time it is trading for roughly $7,100.

Cointelegraph reports that crypto mining company Argo Blockchain (LSE:ARB) has broken its Bitcoin mining records in spite of restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The firm mined 333.8 Bitcoin in March, not too different from the 337.5 Bitcoin it mined in February. For the first three months of this year, Argo mined a company record of 918 Bitcoin total, which is more than twice what it mined in the closing three months of 2019. This resulted in the generation of $7.67 million in revenue for the first three months of 2020. The company also mentioned that its North America-based mining operations were, so far, unaffected by COVID-19 as their management and staff are able to work remotely.

Argo Blockchain stock is up 4.5 percent at press time.

A recently-published bulletin from the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), titled Covid-19, cash, and the future of payments, explored the impact of the Coronavirus on instigating the need for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). An excerpt reads:

In the context of the current crisis, CBDC would in particular have to be designed allowing for access options for the unbanked and (contact-free) technical interfaces suitable for the whole population.6 The pandemic may hence put calls for CBDCs into sharper focus, highlighting the value of having access to diverse means of payments, and the need for any means of payments to be resilient against a broad range of threats.

And on that note, the Bank of Korea announced the launch of a CBDC pilot program today. The pilot program will involve reviews of CBDC on technology, operational and legal levels. The report notes that with current mediums of exchange still viable, the need for a CBDC is not yet pressing. A loose translation reads:

Cash demand still in existence, competitive payment services market, high level of financial inclusion. Considering such, it is not necessary to issue CBDC in the near future.
It is necessary to respond promptly to changes in internal and external conditions.

#Cleantech and #ClimateChange #Podcast - Senior Attorney with Center for Biological Diversity Discusses Environmental Impact of Government Funding TC Energy (NYSE: $TRP) Keystone XL Pipeline


 #Cleantech and #ClimateChange #Podcast - Senior Attorney with Center for Biological Diversity Discusses Environmental Impact of Government Funding TC Energy (NYSE: $TRP) Keystone XL Pipeline



Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, April 6, 2020  – (Investorideas.com Newswire) -Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering cleantech and renewable energy stocks (Renewableenergystocks.comissues today’s edition of the Cleantech and Climate Change Podcast, talking about today's problems and solutions for the future.

Listen to the Podcast:


Podcast host: Dawn Van Zant, founder of Investorideas.com

Today  Investorideas.com is talking to Jared Margolis, Senior Attorney with the  Endangered Species Program  for the Center for Biological Diversity, discussing  Alberta’s Premier, Jason Kenny and his  recent announcement of financial investment and support for the Keystone XL pipeline  with TC Energy Corporation (NYSE:TRP) and the potential environmental consequences of such actions 

TC Energy announced on March 31 that it will proceed with construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline Project resulting in an investment of approximately US$8.0 billion into the North American economy.

Margolis says, looking at the current global pandemic, “The response to the coronavirus has been unprecedented. While the world is seeing this as something we need to deal with right away and taking actions, why are we not taking the same actions with climate change?”

“The coronavirus has economic impacts but it’s a time where we should be looking for solutions for climate change, a potentially large catastrophe. In 2020 the WEF ranked climate change as the biggest risk to the economy and society. “

“I think when people start making the connection between climate and health, then hopefully they will see there has to be some changes.”
Following the interview with Jared Margolis on April 1st,  on April 2nd the Edmonton Journal reported “ Alberta’s UCP government has suspended environmental reporting requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic with ministerial orders signed by Environment Minister Jason Nixon Tuesday.”
“For three months, industry does not need to report as required under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, the Water Act and the Public Lands Act — with the exception of drinking water and wastewater facilities.”

#Agtech / #SustainableAgriculture #Stocks – Growth in Investment During #Coronavirus Pandemic (TSXV: $CSX.V) (NYSE: $AVD) (NYSE: $NTR) (TSX: $NTR.TO), (NYSE: $DIET) (NASDAQ: $BYND)


#Agtech / #SustainableAgriculture #Stocks – Growth in Investment During #Coronavirus Pandemic (TSXV: $CSX.V) (NYSE: $AVD) (NYSE: $NTR) (TSX: $NTR.TO), (NYSE: $DIET) (NASDAQ: $BYND)


Point Roberts WA, Delta BC  April 6,  2020 -Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource releases a sustainable agriculture snapshot featuring Vancouver-based Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. (TSX-V: CSX).


The sustainable agriculture and agtech sectors are seeing an influx of investment and support in the face of the coronavirus pandemic as the future of food supplies and how we grow food is being scrutinized.  

According to an article in TechAccel, Stunning growth in Ag Biotech Market investments, “Two years ago, we shared a map of the Ag Biotech Market that showed 245 startups working in plant and animal biotechnology. Since that original map, we’ve continued to track the market and, this year found a stunning doubling of investment dollars – $6.9 billion across 385 companies, compared to $3.4 billion in 245 companies in 2017. This investment is robust, despite the protracted negative agricultural cycle and massive impacts from trade tariffs.”

In a recent press release from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister said, while talking about a  federal investment of $560,000 for the CFA to develop the Canadian Agri-Food Sustainability Initiative: More and more, customers of Canada's high-quality food want to know that their food was produced ethically, with a minimized impact on the environment. Canada's farmers and processors are already leaders when it comes to the use of more green technologies and practices in our food production. This new initiative is an important tool to tell our story and build consumers trust for our producers."

Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. (TSX-V: CSX) an agtech innovator and creater of the world’s first true variable-rate smart seeding technology, the SMART Seeder™,  recently made headlines in the sustainable agriculture sector. 

Clean Seed just announced a US $5M strategic license and investment agreement with US based AMVAC Chemical Corporation (“AMVAC”), a subsidiary of American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE: AVD).  ( News from AVD)

Graeme Lempriere, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Clean Seed states “Our aligned objectives, to deliver sustainable meaningful results for the agricultural sector through the precise application and control of inputs, are rooted in the stewardship of our soil structure. AMVAC’s leadership in the chemical business and Clean Seed’s cutting edge leadership in the multi product delivery systems and related SMART Seeder™ and SMART Planter™ technologies assures a mutually beneficial relationship that strengthens our collective efforts and protects our product offerings. It has been a pleasure working with this likeminded group. I am also delighted to welcome Dr. Ulrich (Bob) Trogele, PhD to our Board of Directors and look forward to collaborating with him and the AMVAC teams on multiple levels as we share in the drive for industry leadership and innovation.”

From the news: Founded in 1969, American Vanguard has five decades of sustainable, responsible growth. AMVAC delivers unique solutions for the broad array of challenges to enhance agricultural productivity and safeguard public health. AMVAC has earned a place among the world’s top specialty chemical providers in the world, with businesses in USA, Mexico, Central and Latin America, Europe, Brazil, Australia and Canada.

AMVAC is also recognized as an industry leader in closed delivery systems, like its SmartBox® closed delivery application system, which serves to reduce risk of exposure to users and applicators. Building on that expertise, AMVAC has developed a more advanced system called SIMPAS (Smart Integrated Multiproduct Prescriptive Application System). AMVAC’s patented SIMPAS system enables simultaneous variable precision rate application of multiple crop protection and nutritional inputs to maximize harvest yield, minimize grower costs, optimize soil health and benefit environmental sustainability.  This precision application of crop input segment runs parallel with Clean Seed’s patented development of its ground-breaking highly advanced SMART seeding and SMART planting technologies, creating a symbiotic opportunity for both parties.  

As part of this relationship Clean Seed will license AMVAC certain intellectual property rights for a US$2,500,000 upfront fee and an ongoing royalty of certain delivery systems.  Clean Seed will provide ongoing development support as the parties may mutually agree to for future growth and diversification opportunities.

AMVAC will also be investing an additional US$2,500,000 through the purchase of 6,250,000 common shares of the Company at a price of US$0.40 per share (the “Offering”), bringing the total up-front investment to US$5,000,000.

Clean Seed, bringing agtech to sustainable agriculture says on its website,  “Today, everything has advanced, just look at your new tablet, laptop and cellphone and it is clear, ‘things have changed.’ Clean Seed is at the forefront of the digital age of agriculture and is clearly focused on facilitating progress for the farmer and global food production as a whole.”

Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE: NTR) (TSX: NTR.TO), the world's largest provider of crop inputs and services, playing a critical role in helping growers increase food production in a sustainable manner, is optimistic about the coming season as other sectors face downsizing.

Nutrien recently announced that it continues to expect solid demand for crop inputs for the coming spring season and that its facilities continue to operate given its business is deemed an essential service by governments. Nutrien also announced that its annual meeting of shareholders will be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). This year, to proactively deal with the public health impact of COVID-19, Nutrien will hold the meeting in a virtual only format via live online webcast.

"Nutrien continues to expect solid demand for crop inputs for the spring season, despite some recent wet weather in the US, which has caused modest delays in field activity in some regions of the country. Our business is deemed essential by governments around the world, which underscores the criticality of the agriculture sector. Our facilities have continued to operate, under enhanced safety protocols, in order to ensure growers globally have the products and solutions they need to maximize crop production. Nutrien has a strong balance sheet, stable dividend and ample access to liquidity as we enter our peak period of demand," commented Chuck Magro, Nutrien’s President and CEO.

Reflecting the future of the sector was news of  the  launch of The Defiance Next Gen Food and Agriculture ETF (NYSE: DIET) late last year.

From the news: The DIET ETF provides exposure to companies that are focused on technologies like alternative plant-based sources of meat, such as Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND), seed modification, sustainable farming and irrigation techniques.

 “One of the most important challenges facing the world right now is finding ways to massively increase global food supply in a way that also manages environmental impacts and meets the needs of an increasingly health-conscious consumer,” said Paul Dellaquila, President of Defiance ETFs.

GreenBIZ reported, “Amid the white noise of COVID-19 pandemic coverage last week, news about the $80 million funding round for alternative protein company Nature’s Fynd offered a bright beacon of positivity. While the financing revelation was delayed a week because of the crisis, the sizeable round extends the steady growth of funding for this particular niche of the overall agtech space.”

Agtech and sustainable agriculture are the wave of the future and not only in the face of the coronavirus pandemic but also as an ally in the fight against climate change moving forward.
