Nowigence Inc. (NOWG) Helps Usher in the Knowledge Era with Innovative Pluaris Platform

  • Company’s innovative Pluaris offering provides a synthesis of intelligence rather than just a picture of documents to open and read
  • NOWG CEO believes the company’s market opportunity is “over $20 billion”
  • As the world moves from an information era into a knowledge era, Nowigence gains footholds in both consumer and enterprise markets
Nowigence (OTCQB: NOWG), thae SaaS technology company behind Pluaris, a comprehensive and turnkey AI knowledge engine, and CEO Anoop Bhatia were the focus of a Proactive Investors director interview (https://ibn.fm/1J24y). During the interview, Bhatia provided a brief overview of the company and talked about how its Pluaris offering simplifies the challenges of learning and accelerates the pace of problem solving and decision making, giving Nowigence the means to capitalize on a $20-billion-plus market opportunity. Nowigence Inc. is focused on simplifying the challenges of learning, noted Bhatia, and the company’s name derives from the idea of “now” intelligence. “We are in the field of data intelligence, we are in the field of knowledge management,” he said. Explaining that one of the company’s overarching objectives was to replace keyword search, Bhatia said, “Keyword search doesn’t read the document, doesn’t open documents; it just kind of does a keyword match on the title line of the document. “Our product actually goes into various documents, countless documents, within a few seconds to read the content, answer the question, synthesize the intelligence on a topic that you’re looking for,” Bhatia continued. “And it does it during the time of the search, so it takes about 5 to 20 seconds for you to get a synthesis of intelligence rather than just a picture of documents for you to open and read.” According to Bhatia, Pluaris serves a target audience of knowledge seekers, who could be anyone from students to researchers. “Gartner says there are about a billion knowledge workers from around the world in the English language, and that becomes a market for us on a standalone basis,” Bhatia explained, going on to note that much like “our brain sits on top of our human bodies, Pluaris can also sit on top of various IT tools to read and search for intelligence. So, we do serve the enterprise market too, which is a higher-priced market for us. We process a lot of information for them.” Bhatia stated that the market Pluaris analyzes is huge. “We believe that the market opportunity is over $20 billion,” he noted. “It’s a huge opportunity. It’s an emerging industry that is still seeking a lot of investment dollars. It’s in its early phase of growth. As we become more public, people will recognize and use the product we’ve created. The industry will grow exponentially, as we’re moving from an information era to a knowledge era, and Pluaris helps usher in that knowledge era.” For now, says Bhatia, the company’s strategic plan is to grow commercially. “The product is very unique, a very differentiated product from the rest of the market,” he said. “We’ve already got footholds in both the consumer market and the enterprise market, so we do intend to grow the company, but we also intend to continue to invest in this product.” Nowigence is an innovative software as a service (“SaaS”) company, focused on developing and bringing to market Pluaris, its comprehensive, ready-to-use artificial-intelligence platform. By integrating state-of-the-art data processing techniques in an intuitive interface at an affordable subscription price, Pluaris puts the power of data science into the hands of consumers.

Helping Independent Artists Take Back Ownership of Their Music Through Friendable Inc.’s (FDBL) 360-Degree Platform

  • Music artists often find that major labels do not provide them with the support they need as an artist and are put off by the excessive fees taken for production, distribution, and promotion of music
  • Fan Pass Live is now the ultimate 360-degree anti-label offering for musicians, allowing them to keep control of their music and receive higher revenue
  • Fan Pass Live offers musicians the tools necessary to produce, distribute, and promote their music without hefty fees or loss of ownership, while also providing artists additional means of revenue through monthly contests
When an artist signs with a music label, most are required to assign the master rights of their songs to the label. The label is then responsible for duplicating, distributing, and marketing the recordings on behalf of the artist. Labels then earn revenue from the artist’s music when it is sold, performed, or used under master licensing. The amount of control the label has over the artist’s career and earnings has become a serious topic amongst independent artists looking to produce, distribute, and promote their music. Friendable (OTC: FDBL), a mobile technology and marketing company focused on developing and identifying products, services, and brand opportunities with mass market potential and scalability, is addressing this concern and opening doors for independent music artists through its flagship offering, Fan Pass Live, and acquired platforms Artist Republik and FeaturedX. The company’s presentation discusses the fees associated with traditional label control on a music artist’s offering (https://ibn.fm/xiv93). According to Friendable, on average, a music artist loses 90% of streaming revenue to labels, 10% to booking agents, and 15-20% of overall income to managers. Artists are not only losing revenue to the companies they entrust to produce, distribute, and promote their music but also feel a lack of support overall from the operation. With roots well established in the art of music, Friendable’s management, brothers Robert A. Rositano Jr. and Dean Rositano, set out on a mission to disrupt the music industry’s landscape. The Fan Pass Live artist platform was released in July 2020, when music venues were closing due to the pandemic. The platform’s initial offering was to provide a virtual stage where independent artists could perform for fans without needing to leave home. In January 2022, the company took one more step toward supporting these artists by acquiring Artist Republik and FeaturedX. When artists sign up for Fan Pass Live, they are given a 360-degree artist experience, free from label control with the tools necessary to produce, distribute, and promote their music without paying the excessive fees associated with label control. Through the Fan Pass Live artist platform, independent musicians now have access to:
  • Music distribution and management
  • Music production assistance
  • Press release and Instagram promotion
  • Digital storefront activation
  • Artist marketplace for collaborations
  • Merch, logo, and promotion design support
  • Virtual concert booking and ticketing mobile streaming service
  • Live streaming support
  • Revenue from fan tips, monthly artist contests, merchandise, and ticket sales
  • Access to fan data and performance analytics
  • Monthly artist contests
  • NFT development and Metaverse – coming soon
The services provided by Fan Pass Live, Artist Republik, and FeaturedX allow artists to do what they love without losing the revenue for doing it. In addition to production, distribution, and promotion efforts, artists also get to enjoy monthly contests put on by Fan Pass Live. The most recent contest for the month of June awards merchandise design packages to the top three artists with the most online tips for the month. In addition to the main contest, artists who schedule streams on the Fan Pass calendar get featured in the weekly Fan & Artist newsletter.

Green Energy Helping Texas Power Grid Withstand Unusually High Demand; Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. (CIPI) Supplying Cost-Efficient Solutions for Renewable Energy Options

  • The current Texas heatwave and the demand on the power grid have reached record numbers, driving more consideration for renewable energy sources like wind and solar power
  • Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. offers a complete suite of clean energy assessment solutions for commercial real estate to find the appropriate avenue for incorporating more energy-efficient capabilities
  • The global renewable energy market, valued at $881.7 billion in 2020, is driven by the need to reduce carbon emissions and other greenhouse gasses
As unusually high temperatures sweep across the Southwestern U.S., especially Texas, new records for electricity demands are being reached. Texas grid operator ERCOT projects have recorded several peak days since the heatwave began in Texas, many of which surpass 75 gigawatts and have smashed records established in 2019. Thankfully, the state’s electric grid has so far been able to successfully meet high electricity demand, unlike previous years when extreme weather events created vulnerable situations that included blackouts (https://ibn.fm/k1EfM). Experts have concluded that the grid’s sustainability is partly due to the strong performance provided by alternative energy sources (wind, solar), which have been capable of generating close to 40% of the amount of electricity demand in the region. Despite the backlash of legislators that wind and solar power are unreliable, the state has seen an influx of growing fleets and renewables coming in. In 2021, about 38% of the state’s power was fueled by alternative zero-carbon sources, like wind, solar, and nuclear, becoming a glaring opponent for natural gas, which fueled 42% during the same year. Experts are concerned that, while the grid was built to sustain extreme heat (more than cold), the August-like temperatures in early June may impact the long-term sustainable nature of the grid. Companies like Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI), can help evaluate the grid’s sustainability in terms of green energy capabilities. Through its subsidiaries, Correlate and Solar Site Design, Correlate Infrastructure Partners offers a comprehensive suite of proprietary clean energy assessment solutions for the commercial real estate industry. The company also develops and finances renewable energy projects to make investment properties more efficient. Correlate Infrastructure Partners has identified a tremendous market opportunity in reducing site-specific energy consumption and deploying energy generation and efficiency solutions at scale. Studies show that commercial properties across the United States consume more than 35% of the generated electricity. Although retrofits for better efficiency are available, they are not happening at the rate or scale needed to begin reducing the amount of pressure put on the grids. Through Correlate Infrastructure Partners’ proprietary software and financial instruments, tackling the known issue of “split incentive” unlocks most of the addressable market, making solutions more feasible than they once were. The company’s solutions have emerged against the backdrop of growing interest in clean energy worldwide. The global renewable energy market reached $881.7 billion in 2020 and is $1,977.6 billion by 2030. Presently, renewable energy sources are limited to heating, cooling, cooking, electricity, and the transport sectors, with increased interest for expansion growing. Traditional fossil fuels release carbon emissions into the atmosphere, and reducing these helps reduce the impact of global warming. Worldwide efforts are being made to lower the release of carbon emissions and greenhouse gases, which is a primary driving force for the uptick in renewable resource adoption. Governments in developing and developed countries are switching focus to promoting renewable energy sources due to output efficiency, pollution reduction, and low maintenance costs (https://ibn.fm/Qt2De).

Odyssey Health, Inc. (ODYY) Reports Positive Findings on Phase 1 Clinical Trials of PRV-002 for Concussions

  • No adverse reactions were reported in any of the healthy subjects enrolled in the Cohort II Phase 1 clinical trial of PRV-002
  • Company in talks with military training sites for Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials on concussed patients
  • The CDC estimates that approximately 1.6 to 3.8 million sports and recreation-related concussions occur annually, for which there is no FDA-approved treatment
  • The global concussion market size was valued at $6.8 billion in 2019. This value is expected to rise to $8.9 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 3.6%
Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY), a medical company focused on unique, life-saving medical products that offer clinical advantages to unmet clinical needs, has announced positive safety findings from Cohort II of their Phase 1 clinical trial. The company’s Phase 1 trial involves the administration of PRV-002, Odyssey’s novel treatment for concussions, to healthy human subjects. Findings from Cohort II have indicated that the drug is safe and well-tolerated amongst the subjects. Conducted at Nucleus Network, a leading clinical research organization, Cohort II was unblinded and evaluated by the Safety Review Committee. Cohort II was conducted using six healthy human volunteers, each receiving either one dose of PRV-002 or a placebo. These were followed up by evaluations looking for abnormal responses, which concluded no adverse effects were reported, and the drug was well tolerated. Evaluations included vital sign monitoring, EKG readings, sleep pattern, and breathing function – which were all normal. Labs indicated there were no alterations associated with the PRV-002 treatment. “PRV-002 continues to be well-tolerated as we increase the intranasal dose levels. We look forward to completing Phase I Clinical Trials and moving into a Phase II/III to determine the efficacy of PRV-002 for concussed patients,” Odyssey Health CEO Michael Redmond said (https://ibn.fm/U8T8X). “I believe that intranasal brain-targeting will be the key to its success. We are currently in discussions with military training sites for our Phase II/III clinical trials.” The Phase 1 trial is ongoing and has 40 healthy subjects administered a single ascending dose and a multi-ascending dose component. Odyssey is currently going through the process of scheduling a meeting with the FDA to present the findings from the Phase 1 trial. The company will report additional findings as they become available. “After reviewing the data from Cohort II, I have strong confidence that PRV-002 will continue to show safety for this Phase I clinical trial as an option for the treatment of concussion,” said Dallas Hack, MD, a member of the Safety Review Committee. “No abnormalities were seen, and we have unanimously approved the next cohort where the treatment dose will be doubled.” Concussions are a mild form of traumatic brain injury. They are caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes rapid brain movement inside the skull. Even the slightest concussion can change the brain’s normal functions. According to the CDC, an estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million sports and recreation-related concussions occur annually in the United States (https://ibn.fm/a0Ozl). The global concussion market size was valued at $6.8 billion in 2019. Due to the rising number of accidents and sports injuries, this number is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2020 to 2027, resulting in a value of $8.9 billion by 2027. The leading causes of concussions in the United States include falls (52%), motor vehicle-related injury (20%), being hit by or colliding with an object (17%), and assaults (11%) (https://ibn.fm/II4pK). Odyssey’s PRV-002 is a new chemical entity, Proprietary Neurosteroid, with proven in-vivo efficacy in animal concussion models through gene amplification of anti-inflammatories, anti-oxidants, and efflux fluid channels. The administration nasally allows for the drug to reach the brain in a matter of minutes. PRV-002 is Odyssey’s solution for a medical need that currently has no FDA-approved treatment.

  • The indoor air quality solution market is projected to see a CAGR of 6.30% from 2021–2025
  • EPA reports that a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than outdoor air
  • Kronos air purifiers destroy the widest range of pollutants, including viruses and VOCs
With a global pandemic capturing worldwide attention and health concerns becoming increasingly important, indoor air quality is coming under increased scrutiny. A recent report projects the indoor air quality market will see significant growth in the coming years (https://ibn.fm/SgtXP), a forecast that reinforces the commitment of Kronos Advanced Technologies (OTC: KNOS) to provide the best air-purification devices and products on the market. “According to the research report ‘Indoor Air Quality Solutions Market by Product and Geography — Forecast and Analysis 2021–2025,’ the market will witness a YOY growth of 3.23% in 2021 at a CAGR of 6.30% during the forecast period,” a recent PRNews report stated. “The expanding variety of pollutants in the region is one of the primary factors driving market expansion. The number of regulations and regulatory agencies, such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (‘EPA’), is also growing to support the market’s expansion.” In fact, the EPA recently reported that “in the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities” (https://ibn.fm/uVwa7). Another EPA report states that “Americans, on average, spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, where the concentrations of some pollutants are often two to five times higher than typical outdoor concentrations. . . . Indoor concentrations of some pollutants have increased in recent decades due to such factors as energy-efficient building construction (when it lacks sufficient mechanical ventilation to ensure adequate air exchange) and increased use of synthetic building materials, furnishings, personal care products, pesticides, and household cleaners” (https://ibn.fm/0px85). These compelling reports don’t mention the threat of viruses, which have only become more of a focus with the COVID-19 global pandemic. Clearly, the need for options to clean indoor air is becoming more urgent. Enter Kronos Advanced Technologies. This innovative company is committed to offering the highest-quality air-purification devices and products available.

By choosing Kronos, you have a cutting-edge, high-quality home air purifier that contributes to a happier and healthier planet.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.KronosATI.co.

  • Flora Growth is a cannabis cultivator and distributor with a base of operations in Colombia’s fertile growing climate, capable of feeding the company’s expanding international supply chain
  • Colombia has undergone a number of regulatory changes in recent years as it emerges from the shadows of years-long drug wars and embraces a growing global acceptance of cannabis products
  • The South American country voted in a new presidential administration in June, and Flora Growth is applauding the president-elect’s continued openness to international cannabis trade
  • Flora Growth announced significant revenue growth during its year-end financial reporting in May, and the company stated it expects another 288 to 400 percent increase in revenues during the current year
Following nationwide elections that marked a historic change in Colombia’s presidency as well as its people’s social policy aspirations, emerging cannabis brand builder Flora Growth (NASDAQ: FLGC) is expressing optimism for its market opportunities, which are based on a growing cannabis cultivation operation in the South American country. Longtime legislator Gustavo Petro, a sitting senator and previously Mayor of Bogota, was declared Colombia’s chief executive-elect June 19 after his remaining opponent in a runoff election conceded that Petro had won the majority of the vote in an orderly transfer of authority (https://ibn.fm/KBkqK). Flora Growth enjoyed explosive energy in building an international supply chain for its cannabis products under the progressive drug policy changes instituted by outgoing President Ivan Duque’s administration, and the company anticipates Petro’s approach to the market’s opportunities will further open doors for its operations. “We would like to congratulate President-Elect Gustavo Petro on his victory and we look forward to working with the new government to continue Colombia’s progressive momentum in the global cannabis industry,” Flora Growth Chairman and CEO Luis Merchan stated in a recent news release (https://ibn.fm/GpQ5t). “We are encouraged by President-Elect Petro’s stance on seeing Colombia become a leader in the legal cannabis industry and we are hopeful for progressive legislation that will allow Colombia to create a safe environment for cannabis consumption domestically — potentially leading to a recreational market in the country,” Merchan added, while observing that Colombia’s environmental and labor conditions are ideal for building successful international commerce. Petro signaled his support of the industry last year when he stated, “The possibility of legal exportation of marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes through licenses from the national government has friends with political power in Colombia. If Colombia does not get its act together, we’re going to lose that business” (https://ibn.fm/uvgsd). Flora Growth operates a 100-hectare (about 247-acre) cultivation facility known as Cosechemos in the heart of Colombia’s green grower-friendly climate. From its cultivation, extraction and isolation operations at the city of Bucaramanga, much of its product goes to its GMP-certified processing facility for beauty, phytotherapeutic and nutraceutical products in the nation’s capital, Bogotá. The company’s license applications with Colombia’s food and drug regulatory body have included more than 20 cannabinoid-infused food and beverage products, such as juices, sparkling seltzers, gummies, chocolates, ghee butter, and healthy snack foods, that prioritize natural ingredients and value-chain sustainability (https://ibn.fm/3vI4W). “While approximately 90% of Flora’s forecasted revenue is expected to be derived outside of Colombia, we see Colombia as particularly well suited both for production of high-quality, cost-advantaged cannabis and the manufacturing of cannabinoid-derived medical formulations that can be sold domestically and internationally,” Flora’s Chief Commercial Officer Jason Warnock added in the company news release. Year-end financial results announced in May reported annual revenue of about $9 million — a “significantly higher” amount than the company reported a year earlier before Colombia’s change in its drug product laws went into effect and Flora launched its IPO on the Nasdaq Capital Market. And the company stated at the time that it expects revenues to grow another 288 to 400 percent during the current year (https://ibn.fm/TpBLQ).
