Global AI in Healthcare to Reach $27.6 Billion by 2025

A new report from Meticulous Research finds that the global AI in Healthcare market will reach $27.6 billion USD by 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43.5 percent during the forecast period 2018 to 2025. An excerpt from the report description outlines the rise in funding witnessed in the space:

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are playing a very important role in healthcare industry. AI is predominantly used in clinical research, robotic personal assistants, and big data analytics. Classic venture capitalists and corporate strategic investors are both investing generously in this space. According to Mercom Research Report 2017, Health IT funding set a record in 2017 with AI and predictive analytics as top tech funded, with patient engagement, telehealth and clinical decision support close behind. Total corporate funding for healthcare technology companies climbed to $8.2 billion in 2017 reporting an increase of 47% from the $5.6 billion in 2016. The worldwide venture funding for digital health startups increased from $5.1 billion in 2016 to $7.2 billion in 2017 posing a growth of 42% in one year.   According to TM Capital (U.S.), healthcare AI venture capital deal volume and funding was valued at $794 million in investments across 90 deals in the healthcare AI space and it was expected that AI-focused healthcare and wellness startups were to raise over $690 million from venture capital firms in 2017.

In today’s podcast we interview Trevor Peters, President and CEO of Willow Biosciences Inc. (CSE: WLLW) (OTC: CANSF), regarding the company’s entrance into the cannabinoid space, some of their recent developments as well as the future of the CBD market.

Mr. Peters has co-founded four start-up companies in the past 15 years and raised over $1.0 billion in equity and debt financing at various stages of corporate development and has been integral to successful transactions totalling over $4.0 billion on sale. Mr. Peters previously was Chief Financial Officer at Caracal Energy Inc., which sold to Glencore plc in 2014 for $1.8 billion.

Willow Biosciences was founded in 2019 through the merger of BIOCAN Technologies: a team of experienced executives from Calgary and researchers from the University of British Columbia, and Epimeron: a team of researchers from the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.

The company has developed the only fully-integrated synthetic biology solution for opiate biosynthesis and are now leveraging their unique design-build process–and our proven track record–to the biosynthesis of cannabinoids.

We discussed the company’s last announcement of their partnership with Noramco to collaboratively develop a yeast-based biosynthesis platform for the production and distribution of CBD.

“Noramco sees the market the same way we do. There selling about 1 tonne of CBD into the pharmaceutical market. Once we see descheduling in the US, we will see them selling more broadly into those markets. Noramco currently uses chemical synthesis which is more expensive then our process which is why they’ve partnered with us exclusively. They view our process as being roughly 80% more cost effective then their existing processes. Noramco is important to us because they’re one of the world’s most sophisticated and largest manufacturers of controlled substances and API’s and they already have a very large customer base.” 

 Trevor also expressed the company’s interest in exploring the culturing of other cannabinoids in the future such as CBG, THC and THCV.

Trevor also discussed the major differences between his company which biosynthetically cultures plant molecules and the plant cultivation and extract community and some of the benefit of cultured CBD versus plant extracted molecules.

“Our CBD molecule is the same as the one the plant produces, except when we produce it it’s just CBD, and is obviously very high purity from that perspective. It’s consistent. There’s no extract process, or other distillation process associated with it, it comes out in the final form. It’s very usable in whatever market might be required.”

Willow Biosciences is not the only company looking into cultured CBD as we saw mostly recently from Cronos Group (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX:CRON) and their  announcement to enter into an agreement to acquire GMP compliant fermentation and manufacturing facility from Apotex Fermentation. This follows Cronos Grouppartnership with Ginkgo Bioworks with the aim to produce cultured cannabinoids and with this new facility addition, the company would be able to achieve that at a commercial scale.

When asked about the future of Willow Biosciences Trevor commented, “over the next 6 to 12 months we are going to be working on the hardcore science, developing a new strain and being able to take it to scale and manufacturing. Since the Noramco announcement we’ve seen a lot of interest from companies that are interested in accessing CBD at scale. We’ve also seen other interests from people in the pharmacological community looking at minor cannabinoids as well.”

July 30 Crypto Corner

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:FB) (KSE:005930)

In a recently published quarterly report, Facebook (NasdaqGS:FB) has conceded that its cryptocurrency project, Libra, may never actually see the light of day. The report details the “significant scrutiny from governments and regulators” incurred by the company following the announcement of Libra and frankly discusses the challenges this presents to the realization of the project. An excerpt reads:

“…market acceptance of such currency is subject to significant uncertainty. As such, there can be no assurance that Libra or our associated products and services will be made available in a timely manner, or at all. We do not have significant prior experience with digital currency or blockchain technology, which may adversely affect our ability to successfully develop and market these products and services. We will also incur increased costs in connection with our participation in the Libra Association and the development and marketing of associated products and services, and our investments may not be successful. Any of these events could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results.”

CNBC reports that crypto wallet platform Blockchain has launched a high-speed cryptocurrency exchange called The PIT, which aims to rival the top companies in the field. Blockchain CEO Peter Smith said The PIT could execute buy or sell orders in “40 to 50 microseconds,” which is an “order of magnitude faster than other market players” like Coinbase and Binance. Nicole Sherrod, head of trading products at Blockchain, told CNBC:

“In volatile markets in particular, speed is of utmost importance. I would not feel comfortable delivering a platform to retail investors that puts them in a position where they couldn’t get in and out of a trade with lightning-fast speed.”

Blockchain solutions provider Pundi X and Samsung (KSE:005930) have integrated tech from each other relating to blockchain wallet applications, according to a blog post yesterday. Specifically, Pundi X has integrated the Samsung Blockchain Wallet, and Samsung has adopted the Pundi X XWallet app. An excerpt from the press release reads:

Samsung Galaxy S10 users can now add the XWallet app to their Samsung Blockchain Wallet. Users can move cryptocurrencies stored in the Samsung Blockchain Wallet into the XWallet, which they can then use as a checking account for instant crypto transaction with Pundi X’s global payment ecosystem. For XWallet users who use Samsung Galaxy S10, they will also have more options by adding Samsung Blockchain Wallet to their XWallet app. They will be able to choose to store their digital assets securely in Samsung Blockchain Wallet, like a saving account.

Filipino bank UnionBank has launched its own digital currency, according to local outlet PhilStar Global. Called PHX, the currency is a stablecoin built on the company’s i2i platform, which stands for island-to-island, institution-to-institution, and individual-to-individual. i2i is UnionBank’s clearing system that connects rural banks through blockchain technology.

Young #Green Consumers Driving Sustainable #Retail Trends in Fashion, Cosmetics and Food (OTCQB: $GFTX) (NASDAQ: $REAL) (NASDAQ: $BYND) (CSE: $AGRA.C) (OTC: $PUFXF)

Young #Green Consumers Driving Sustainable #Retail Trends in Fashion, Cosmetics and Food (OTCQB: $GFTX) (NASDAQ: $REAL) (NASDAQ: $BYND) (CSE: $AGRA.C) (OTC: $PUFXF)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – July 30, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering food, clean-tech and retail stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on how millennial consumers have been a driving force in both retail and investment trends as they continue to demand sustainability and company ethics. 

Whether it’s in textiles and clothing or food and wellness products, the recent focus on sustainability and ethical business practices is creating a shift in the market, as many companies adapting to this new environment are seeing rapid growth.

A new report from national nonprofit Green America, The Toxic Textiles Report reviewing 14 major US-based corporations, shows much room for improvement across the sector on transparency, chemical, waste and water management as well as workplace conditions.

“Consumers want sustainable clothing and the market is responding,” said Caroline Chen, Green America’s Social Justice Campaigns Manager. “But too often, many of the promises we hear from conventional companies are token sustainability initiatives that are band-aids to one small part of the problem, or empty platitudes without a plan to achieve real change. Sustainability shouldn’t just be a marketing trend.”

Eco Tek 360, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Fiber Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: GFTX) has begun its pilot program to “rejuvenate” textile waste.

Eco Tek 360 has made tremendous progress establishing their supply chain and infrastructure that takes them from fiber to final product. With the company’s supply chain now established, their pilot plant set up and the internal testing of their proprietary process complete, they are ready to start taking on small commercial projects.

The company’s core differentiator is their ability to maintain a fiber’s strength and length through their rejuvenation process which allows them to repurpose fibers from each landfill destined item and re-create a high-quality sustainable product that will continue to be repurposed for several years to come.  Another benefit when working with cotton products is the ability to reduce carbon and water footprints for corporate clients. 

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/renewable-energy/07301YoungGreenConsumers.asp

“Each pound of landfill destined cotton waste that we convert into a re-purposed and sustainable product will save an average 500 gallons of water each time it is re-purposed. That means throughout the lifecycle of that original pound of cotton that continues to be rejuvenated, it will help save thousands of gallons of water,” stated Paul Serbiak, CEO of Global Fiber Technologies.

Chris Giordano, Global’s Co-Chairman and President stated “The amount of water that can be saved is truly awe inspiring. If we were to re-purpose just 50,000 pounds of corporate cotton waste it would help save over 25,000,000 gallons of water compared to what would have been needed to grow and process the 50,000 pounds of cotton.”

Global Fiber Technologies’ pilot plant has the capacity to produce over 1.6 million pounds of re-purposed product per year, which translates into 800,000,000 gallons of potential water savings from one small facility.

While Eko Tek 360 is looking to remove the waste created from the textile industry, companies like The RealReal Inc. (NASDAQ: REAL) are looking to reuse what is already produced. The RealReal, the world’s largest online marketplace for authenticated, consigned luxury goods, announced that it will release its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, after the market closes on August 13, 2019. These results have been much anticipated due to the company’s quick rise in the market.

The RealReal has managed to capture the growing niche market of those wanting to buy pre-owned (second hand) and real (authentic) luxury goods. In the US in 2018, the second hand apparel market was worth US$24 billion and is forecast to rise to US$64 billion by 2028. The RealReal’s CFO, Matt Gustke sees the potential market at ~US$200 billion.

The RealReal has millions of online shoppers and consignors, three retail stores in NYC & LA and 11 Luxury Consignment Offices across the USA.

RealReal is the first reselling start-up of this generation to go public, and state that they are the world’s largest online marketplace for ‘authenticated’ goods. The Company uses proprietary technology and 100 trained authenticators to screen for fakes and to make available a range of high-end authentic luxury goods. Every product is inspected and vetted before it goes up online.

A recent Forbes article discussed this recent trend of “ethical investing” mentioning “Richard Branson and Bill Gates among the growing number of high-profile names investing in businesses that seek to do social good.”

The article continued, “Many brands label themselves ‘ethical’ because of their commitment to initiatives that include supporting human rights, fair labor conditions and sustainability, but there’s a gap in the environmental, social and government criteria (ESG) that’s used to identify socially responsible companies. At the moment these criteria don’t include animal cruelty, exploitation or abuse.”

There are even companies like Cruelty Free Investing, a recently launched 501C3 non-profit organization, who are intent on providing information surrounding certain exploitations, currently lists every single publicly-traded corporation on NASDAQ, NYSE and NYSE American (formerly AMEX) in one of two lists on Cruelty Free Investing’s website: Companies that do exploit animals, and companies that don’t.

The continued influence of millennial consumers and investors doesn’t stop at clothing though, as the health and wellness sector, with a specific focus on CBD/hemp products has also seen tremendous growth. AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (CSE: AGRA) (OTC: PUFXF), a growth oriented and diversified international cannabis company, recently provided operational guidance and corporate development updates pertaining to its wholly-owned, vertically integrated cannabinoid-infused cosmetics/topicals subsidiary, Canutra Naturals Ltd.

Canutra manufactures and distributes premium personal care, cosmetics and cannabinoid-infused product lines including a suite of trusted consumer brands such as Whole Hemp Health; a Canadian all-natural, hand-made skin care line, formulated with 100% Canadian organic hemp seed oil. Canutra markets its Whole Hemp Health products by way of brick-and-mortar retail outlets, Amazon Prime, as well as direct to consumer, through an integrated Shopify ecommerce platform.

The Company has continued its pre-existing cannabis/hemp research and development partnership with the Universite de Moncton and is pursuing ongoing collaborations with UM to augment its IP portfolio.

Tony Harris, Chief Executive Officer of Canutra stated: “We are thrilled to formally announce the debut of our premium Whole Hemp Health cosmetics line across the continental United States. Compliant distribution south of the border has long been a pinnacle to Canutra’s sustainable sales stratagem. Our recent acquisition by AgraFlora, as well as the subsequent expedited nature of the knowledge transfer process, has allowed us to access diverse economies of scale and robust corporate resources, as made evident by our accelerated entry into the U.S. market. By leveraging Covault’s tried and tested e-commerce marketing platform, we intend to pursue hyper growth within the enormous addressable U.S. marketplace. Canutra exclusive partnership with Covault’s permits us unbridled access to a proprietary marketing toolset, furnished with unique capabilities, extending far beyond what a traditional e-commerce strategy would provide.”

One of the biggest success stories following this new trend and one that has been heavily focused on in the media recently is Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND). The company just announced the launch of its latest groundbreaking product Beyond Beef® last month and reported results for the second quarter ended June 29, 2019 on Monday, July 29, 2019 after the market closed.

Beyond Beef is designed to not only look, cook and satisfy like traditional ground beef, but also to be versatile enough to be used in any ground beef recipe including tacos, dumplings, Bolognese, sliders and more. Made with a blend of peas, mung beans and rice proteins, Beyond Beef delivers the meaty taste and texture of the beef, along with marbling intended to melt and tenderize for a satisfying and delicious at-home cooking experience.

“We are thrilled to introduce consumers to our latest product innovation, Beyond Beef,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder and CEO. “This plant-based ground meat allows consumers to enjoy all the culinary versatility of ground beef, with the added nutritional and environmental benefits of eating plant-based meat.”

Looking at trends moving forward, the millennial influence can no longer be dismissed. With many new and old companies adapting to demands for sustainable and ethical practices, it seems the future for many companies may be decided by more young investors and consumers who continue to push for their vision of a healthier world for not only today but well into the future.
