• Knightscope’s autonomous security robot offering includes the K1, K3, K5, and KSOC user interface
• The roadshow is hosted virtually by a Knightscope expert but is a hybrid physical and virtual event that allows for in-person practical demonstrations
• The incorporation of Knightscope security solutions has helped reduce crime rates, in line with the company’s stated mission to make the U.S. the safest nation in the world

Most of the product demonstrations organized today occur online – via web conference software like Zoom, Teams, or Hangouts. These platforms allow businesses to demonstrate their products through face-to-face video chatting, screen sharing, and audio conversations. Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP), a developer of advanced physical security technologies, is disrupting the tradition by taking its product offering on the road in a hybrid physical and virtual event named the Robot Roadshow. Knightscope is a leader in developing Autonomous Security Robots (“ASRs”) and subsequent security technology that uniquely combines self-driving technology, robotics, artificial intelligence, and electric vehicle capabilities to provide 24/7/365 security in the places you live, work, study, and visit. The company’s mission is to make the United States of America the safest nation in the world while supporting the population of over two million law enforcement and security professionals nationwide. Now, Knightscope is bringing its proprietary technology to locations nationwide for consumers to get a real-life feel for the product offering in an in-person interactive format. Each of these Roadshows is hosted virtually by a Knightscope expert, but direct interaction with each of the ASRs and the Knightscope Security Operations Center (“KSOC”) shows the offering in action. The Pod has made well over 2 dozen landings in California, Florida, Washington DC, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, Nevada and Arizona.  Visit www.Knightscope.com/roadshow for the latest schedule. The current Knightscope offering includes the award-winning K1, K3, K5, and KSOC technology. KSOC provides real-time access to data around the clock and features a 360-degree eye-level HD video stream, people detection, facial recognition, automatic license plate recognition, thermal anomaly detection, and automatic signal detection. The Knightscope product offering includes the robot and the KSOC interface to interact with the ASR. Since incorporating Knightscope’s K5, the City of Huntington Park in Los Angeles County saw extraordinary results after just a year of service by the ASR. There was a 10% reduction in calls for service, a 27% increase in arrests, and a reduction in crime reports and citations by 46% and 68%, respectively. Based on these initial findings, the city chose to extend its contract for an additional two years. The same results have been seen in Las Vegas at Liberty Village, which routinely ranked top three in 911 calls, but after implementing Knightscope’s ASR, the complex has fallen out of the top ten for calls. In addition to the success in the City of Huntington Park and Liberty Village – Knightscope has seen other crime-fighting wins in the areas of:

• Armed Robbery – providing evidence of armed robbery and vehicle theft to the authorities in time to make an arrest
• BOLO – provided high-definition video and license plate detection in 30 instances over the four-month BOLO (be on the lookout) period
• Burglaries – a Knightscope K5 collected evidence for law enforcement agencies on two burglaries and felony property damage
• Domestic Violence – an ASR caught eye-level video of an assault in progress that was used in court

Knightscope is working with the private and public sectors, officers, guards and technologists, citizens, communities, concerned parents, small businesses, major corporations, Main Street, and Wall Street – all for the common good – reducing crime and making the U.S. safer, one ASR at a time. Knightscope plans to continue the roadshow to as many cities across the nation as possible – and not as a private event. All prospective clients, investors, and media are invited to attend these roadshow events to learn more about Knightscope. Those interested in hosting a stop in their area can visit the https://www.Knightscope.com/roadshow page to volunteer.

• The majority of the ammonia in the world is used for agricultural purposes
• Agronomists advise farmers on the best way to utilize fertilizer while reducing costs and carbon dioxide emissions
• Growing number of farmers are turning to technology and more sophisticated fertilizer products to increase yield and reduce emissions
• FuelPositive plans to organize a green ammonia production prototype demonstration in late summer 2022, with two more slated for later in 2022

There is a common misconception in the farming community – if you use more fertilizer, you yield a bigger crop. However, for the best yield, it takes the right mixture of rain, sunshine, and soil conditions, which is where an agronomist comes in. Agronomists advise farmers on the best way to apply fertilizer to yield the maximum potential. When too much fertilizer is used, it can release large amounts of nitrous oxide (“NOx”), associated with the nitrogen in the fertilizer.  These NOx emissions are greenhouse gases that pollute the atmosphere and create “dead zones” on farms. They are emitted by all types of nitrogen fertilizers (organic or synthetic) – whether the nitrogen comes from animal manure or from manufactured ammonia produced using a carbon-free process or not. Research has shown that a spike in nitrous oxide emissions occurs right after the spring thaw, when the moisture from the melting snow mixes with the residual nitrogen left behind from the fertilizer applied to the fields in the fall. Another short burst of nitrous oxide can occur in case of rainfall after application if the plant has not had the time to absorb the nitrogen. More and more farmers are turning to technology, including software, satellite images, moisture probes, and sensors that measure the electrical conductivity in the soil, while also adopting the use of more sophisticated fertilizer products and application methods to yield the most food while sinking the least amount of money into the process. These new methods are also reducing emissions of nitrate-related greenhouse gases – which are hundreds of times more potent than carbon dioxide (https://ibn.fm/TX0CA). FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) has its eye on the need to reduce nitrous oxide emissions associated with fertilizers. The company is producing a modular, scalable and transportable green ammonia production system designed to be used on farms. The ammonia is green because it is produced using air, water and a sustainable electricity source, such as solar cells, windmills or hydro power. This eliminates the massive carbon dioxide pollution emitted by centralized refineries that use fossil fuels. “We are proud to be producing green ammonia because it eliminates the CO2 emissions associated with traditional grey ammonia production. But we know we have to do more. Our next goal is to cut nitrous oxide emissions,” said Ian Clifford, FuelPositive CEO. “Supporting best farming practices for emission reduction is critical to our ability to fulfil our cradle-to-cradle commitment. We are working with our agriculture sector advisors to identify how to use our fertilizer in the least polluting way. We are looking for partnerships and acquisitions that will facilitate sustainable farming and we will be designing future pilot projects to work directly with scientists and farmers to continue this critical effort,” added Clifford Meanwhile, FuelPositive is building its Phase 2 full-sized commercial prototype systems for green ammonia production. FuelPositive is currently on course for its first demonstration prototype production system to be deployed on a farm in Manitoba, Canada, in late summer 2022. The second and third systems are expected to be operational in pilot programs later in 2022. “The more we talk with the farmer we will be working with, the more excited we are. We expect this demonstration pilot project to go forward in stages, first proving the green ammonia production technology and using the anhydrous ammonia the system will be producing as fertilizer. Later on, the farmer wants to use our green anhydrous ammonia as a replacement for fossil fuels in grain drying and to run the farm’s tractors, generators and other farm equipment and systems. Eventually we will work with the farmer to reduce and potentially eliminate nitrous oxide associated with fertilizer. This farm is aiming to be net negative,” said Clifford. At the heart of the FuelPositive “plant in a box” is its decentralized model. The production system sits right on the farm, cleanly producing all of the ammonia the farm requires. The green ammonia is used as fertilizer and as fuel. There is no more need to buy fertilizer through the unreliable ammonia supply chain that has seen massive inflation over the past number of years. For most farmers today, fertilizer is the most expensive item they buy to run their farms. Gaining control over the price and supply gives them security and the freedom to use the fertilizer in the cleanest possible way. FuelPositive is also uniquely positioned to take on a more prominent role in the expanding global ammonia market, particularly in the green ammonia field. The global ammonia sector was valued at $52.71 billion in 2017 and is forecasted to reach $81.42 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.59% (https://ibn.fm/JOZ6B). The green ammonia market is projected to grow from $16 million in 2021 to $5.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 90.2%. The growth is expected to be driven by green ammonia’s potential as an alternative to fossil fuels. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FuelPositive.com.

• ACTX is the exclusive U.S. distributor of Grow Pods, environmentally controlled micro-farms that allow cultivation of ultra-clean crops year-round
• ACTX is exploring the acquisition of the assets and the assumption of some or all of the liabilities of GP Solutions Inc., the developer and manufacturer of Grow Pods
• ATCX is established in the rapidly growing cannabis packaging industry
• The company is well positioned in multiple recession-resistant markets

Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX) is in the business of selling and distributing self-contained, automated, indoor “micro-farms” called Grow Pods, along with related equipment and supplies. Additionally, the company designs and sells patented proprietary medical-grade plastic containers, known as the Medtainer(R), that store and grind pharmaceuticals, herbs, teas and other solids or liquids. ACTX is the leading distributor of Grow Pods. With a controlled environment, food and herbs can be grown without pesticides, harmful chemicals or risk of pathogen contamination, and with low energy consumption. Restaurants, grocery stores, non-profits, MSOs and entrepreneurs can use Grow Pods to ensure a fresh supply of ultra-clean produce year-round. The company entered the Grow Pod business in October 2020 with its acquisition of all shares of Advanced Container Technologies Inc., a California corporation. As of February 28, 2022, ACTX is exploring the acquisition of the assets and the assumption of some or all of the liabilities of GP Solutions Inc., the developer and manufacturer of Grow Pods, for which ACTX is currently the sole U.S. distributor. Because Grow Pods can be located almost anywhere, produce can be grown closer to the point of consumption and harvested at its peak, providing nutritious fruits and vegetables where needed. Indoor micro-farms, utilizing a practice known as vertical farming, have attracted the attention of governments and universities, which are now promoting vertical farming as a way to combat food insecurity and inequities. The United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) has stated that vertical farming “is no longer a futuristic concept.” The department is enthusiastic about vertical farming, particularly those utilizing repurposed shipping containers, such as Grow Pods. Arizona State University reports that vertical farming reduces water use by 90 percent compared to conventional farming but produces 10 times the crop yield. Products Grow Pods One of the company’s main business units is focused on selling advanced, self-contained hydroponic containers called Grow Pods. These unique and innovative automated systems are essentially micro-farms that can be placed virtually anywhere and, with their controlled and specially filtered environment, allow cultivation of a wide variety of crops, 365 days a year. The Grow Pod controlled environment offers major advantages for the production of high-value crops. The ability to grow year-round and the ability to cultivate in a smaller footprint using less water and power are some of the primary advantages of the system. Grow Pods offer constant temperature, humidity and airflow control, as well as automated watering and lighting schedules for optimal growth and minimal labor requirements, regardless of crop. Containers ACTX meets the needs of the pharmaceutical and medical markets, including the cannabis and hemp industries, with patented packaging systems. The company designs, customizes, brands and sells proprietary medical grade plastic containers that can store pharmaceuticals, herbs, teas and other solids or liquids, with a special built-in feature that can grind solids and shred herbs. The company’s flagship container product is the patented Medtainer(R), a child resistant, medical-grade herb container and grinder that is water-tight, air-tight and smell proof. Packaging in the cannabis industry is critical, with numerous stringent regulations about how cannabis products must be packaged and labeled. ACTX also offers custom-branded, compliant vacuum seal bags and other retail container solutions. Equipment and Supplies ACTX markets and sells two principal products: Grow Pods, which are specially modified insulated shipping containers manufactured by GP Solutions Inc., in which plants, herbs and spices may be grown hydroponically in a controlled environment, and Medtainers(R), which may be used to store pharmaceuticals, herbs, teas and other solids or liquids and can grind solids and shred herbs. The company also markets and sells various products related to Grow Pods and the Medtainer(R), as well as providing private labeling and branding services for purchasers of Medtainers(R) and certain related products. GP Solutions manufactures and sells other products, such as humidity controllers and LED lighting systems for vertical farming. The company’s specially designed lighting panels are programmed to emit the exact wavelength of light that each crop requires. The system has a daybreak-to-nightfall feature that gives plants the proper chromatic signals to grow rapidly and fruitfully. High efficiency LED light strips supply the crops with a red and blue light spectrum required for photosynthesis in the spectrum that plants need most. Market Overview The global vertical farming market is expected to reach $33.02 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research. The market is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 25.5 percent from 2022 to 2030, according to Grand View. Escalating production of biopharmaceutical products, including cannabis, is anticipated to drive the market. The building-based segment of the market is expected to register a significant CAGR of 27.8 percent over the projected period. In addition, the climate control segment is expected to see high growth. The global cannabis packaging market is expected to reach $14.34 billion by 2028, according to analysis by Reports and Data. The analysis forecasts 1,700 percent growth in cannabis users by the end of 2026, with packaging likely observing a whopping 26.42 percent growth in the forecast period. There are significant barriers to entry in the cannabis packaging market, giving an advantage to companies already established in the sector. These barriers include developing a thorough knowledge of the myriad regulations that govern cannabis packaging (which differ in each state), and child-resistance requirements. Management Team Douglas P. Heldoorn is the Founder and Chairman of Advanced Container Technologies Inc. He also holds the positions of President, CEO and COO at the company. Mr. Heldoorn has served on the Board of Directors since its inception in 2013. He has also previously held the position of Executive General Manager at Nissan Motor Corp. Jeffory A. Carlson is CFO and Treasurer of ACTX. Mr. Carlson has also served as the company’s Corporate Controller since 2014.

CNS Pharmaceuticals’ lead drug candidate is Berubicin, a novel anthracycline and the first in its drug class to appear to cross the blood-brain barrier. The company is currently developing treatments using Berubicin for serious brain and central nervous system oncology indications, including glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of cancer in the brain. More than 13,000 Americans were expected to receive a diagnosis of GBM in 2020, with the cancer accounting for 48% of all primary, malignant brain tumors. In terms of survival rates, the five-year survival rate for GBM patients is only 6.8%. The average length of survival from diagnosis is 12 to 18 months (https://ibn.fm/oX7H3). CNS Pharmaceuticals holds the worldwide exclusive license to Berubicin’s chemical compound. The company acquired all requisite data from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. relating to Phase I trials of Berubicin in malignant brain tumors. Roughly 44% of patients participating in this trial 14 years ago experienced significant improvement clinically. CNS Pharmaceuticals intends to explore Berubicin in other potential treatments for indications other than central nervous system cancers, including pancreatic and ovarian cancers and lymphoma. The company is also developing its WP1244 drug technology, which utilizes anthracycline and distamycin-based scaffolds to create small molecular agents, which are believed to be 500x more potent than daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. Preclinical studies of WP1244 have demonstrated high uptake in the brain with antitumor activity. CNS Pharmaceuticals is even evaluating the use of WP1244 in the treatment of brain cancers, pancreatic and ovarian cancer, and lymphoma. To close out 2021, CNS Pharmaceuticals received approval from swissethics, the umbrella organization of the cantonal Ethics Committee in Switzerland, for a pivotal Berubicin study for GBM (https://ibn.fm/JduRf). “Receiving approval from swissethics is a significant milestone for the company. Our stated goal is, and always has been, to see Berubicin approved for the treatment of glioblastoma, and this means globally,” Mr. Climaco said. “This terrible disease does not discriminate on the basis of geography or anything else: Patients in Europe are as desperate as patients in the United States, and treating patients is not only why we do what we do, but how we do it as well.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.CNSPharma.com.

• EverGen forecasts EBITDA growth from about C$3 million in 2021 to more than C$12 million in the next 12 months from expansion of core operating assets
• EverGen stock began trading in the U.S. on the OTCQB Venture Market under ticker symbol ‘EVGIF’ on February 15, 2022
• EverGen has low-risk long term contracted or reoccurring revenue (similar to Large Cap Independent Power Producers), with two revenue sources via RNG sales and organic waste tip-fee contracts providing a high margin business with EBITDA margins of 50-60%
• In its most recent reporting, the company reported gross profit of C$1.58 million on revenue of C$1.95 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021

EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQB: EVGIF) is developing Canada’s Renewable Natural Gas Infrastructure Platform, starting on the west coast in British Columbia. The company is combating climate change and helping communities contribute to a sustainable future by acquiring, developing, building, owning and operating a portfolio of renewable natural gas (“RNG”), waste-to-energy, and related infrastructure projects. While EverGen is currently focused on British Columbia, its continued growth is expected across other regions of North America. RNG is produced differently than conventional natural gas, without drilling wells. RNG is derived from biogas, which is captured from decomposing organic waste in landfills, food waste, agricultural waste matter and wastewater from treatment facilities. This waste feedstock is supplied to an anaerobic digester which contains bacteria that breaks down organic matter in the absence of oxygen. The resulting biogas is captured and cleaned to create carbon neutral or carbon negative RNG to be used by the existing North American gas pipeline grid. By capturing these emissions and transforming them into RNG, then combusting into CO2, the overall greenhouse gases (“GHG”) impact is materially less potent than allowing natural decomposition to release methane into the atmosphere. Liquid and solid digestate matter is a byproduct of the RNG production process and is used as fertilizer and in other applications. EverGen operates three projects in British Columbia. The company was incorporated in 2020 and went public in 2021, with its common shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under ticker symbol ‘EVGN’. In February 2022, EverGen’s common shares began trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the U.S. under ticker symbol ‘EVGIF’. The company is headquartered in Vancouver. Portfolio Projects Fraser Valley Biogas is one of three projects in EverGen’s portfolio. Located in Abbotsford, British Columbia, the facility has been digesting manure and off-farm organics since 2011 and was the first agricultural digester in Canada to produce RNG. The RNG generated through this project is part of a FortisBC program to supply renewable gas to homes, businesses and other customers. Fraser Valley Biogas also provides Abbotsford farms with renewable fertilizer via the digestate produced. EverGen acquired Fraser Valley Biogas early in 2021 and is currently enhancing and expanding the facility. These optimization projects resulted in record production during the month of September 2021, supporting the growing demand for RNG in British Columbia. Optimization activities contributed an additional 18% of RNG production for September and a 9% higher year-to-date production compared to the previous year. The facility produces approximately 80,000 gigajoules of RNG, enough to heat more than 1,000 homes for a year. Net Zero Waste Abbotsford, a wholly owned EverGen subsidiary and portfolio project, is an existing composting and organic processing facility and RNG expansion project. The British Columbia Utilities Commission recently approved a 20-year offtake agreement between the facility and FortisBC, an electricity and gas utility. Under this agreement, FortisBC will purchase up to 173,000 gigajoules of RNG annually for injection into its natural gas system upon completion of an anaerobic digester project at Net Zero Waste Abbotsford. Once construction is complete, this project is expected to produce enough energy to meet the needs of more than 1,900 homes. Sea to Sky Soils, a wholly owned EverGen subsidiary and portfolio project, is an existing composting and organic processing facility and potential future RNG expansion project which has been operating near Pemberton, British Columbia, on Lil’wat Nation land since 2012. The Lil’wat Nation is a key partner and supporter of the facility, which has employed a majority of its staff from the First Nation since inception. The Sea to Sky Soils facility processed approximately 160 percent of its forecast tonnage in the second half of 2021. In total, Sea to Sky Soils processed approximately 36,000 tons of organic waste in 2021. The facility is working with the Ministry of Environment to expand its operational capacity in 2022. EverGen has partnered with local municipalities – including Metro Vancouver and the municipality of Pemberton – for the delivery of additional organic waste to the facility. The facility is an important part of EverGen’s RNG infrastructure platform and serves as a source of valuable feedstock to support the company’s existing and future operations. Market Outlook A report from Global Market Insights states that the biogas market is projected to see significant growth over the next few years, driven by a shifting preference to utilize biogas to reduce emission levels from traditional fuels. Escalating RNG usage by gas utilities as a sustainable and low carbon alternative to supply heat and electricity in industries and buildings will further stimulate growth. RNG is increasingly deployed across the transport sector, especially for heavy vehicles and vessels, to abate GHG emissions. Many North American gas utilities have set RNG targets of 5% to 15% of production by volume in 2030, compared to less than 1% by volume in 2020. FortisBC has a goal of including 15% RNG in its gas supply by 2030. EverGen believes this presents a potential C$16 billion+ opportunity for RNG producers.

• Cepton, Inc formally listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 11, 2022, following the merger between Cepton Technologies Inc., and SPAC, Growth Capital Acquisition Corp (GCAC)
• Cepton’s CEO, Dr. Jun Pei rang the Nasdaq opening bell on Thursday, February 17, alongside CTO Dr. Mark McCord and members of both, Cepton Technologies and Growth Capital Acquisition Corp
• GCAC and Cepton arrived at a formal combination agreement on August 5, 2021, with the transaction valuing Cepton at an enterprise value of $1.5 billion

Cepton (NASDAQ: CPTN), a Silicon Valley innovator and leader in high-performance MMR(R) lidar solutions, held the opening bell ringing ceremony at Nasdaq on Thursday, February 17, 2022, after formally commencing trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 11, 2022. In recognition and celebration of this important milestone, Cepton CEO and Co-Founder, Dr. Jun Pei along with CTO and Co-founder Dr. Mark McCord rang the exchange’s opening bell alongside the company’s SPAC partners, Growth Capital Acquisition Corp.’s George Syllantavos and Akis Tsirigakis. The four individuals were also joined by several Cepton team members, as well as representatives from strategic partners, investors, and advisors to mark the momentous occasion (https://ibn.fm/TRjUh). “By ringing the Nasdaq bell today, we will not only open trading for the day, but also open a new era of innovation driven towards the goal of making lidar a mainstream automotive sensor technology,” said Dr. Jun Pei, Cepton CEO. “I am thrilled to be joined by the physical and virtual presence of my talented colleagues and those who have supported us throughout all stages of Cepton’s growth. I’m excited about our journey ahead as a public company, and we remain steadfast in our mission of bringing safe and autonomous transportation to everyone.” Since its founding in 2016, Cepton has rapidly become a key player in the field of ADAS (“Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems”), the largest end-market for lidar. Lidar, which stands for ‘light detection and ranging’, provides users with the ability to map surroundings as well as measure object velocity – transforming the technology into an excellent complementary sensor for partial or fully autonomous vehicles. As far back as 2015, PWC forecast that the top five automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) were spending upwards of $46 billion annually on research and development on autonomous vehicles, a figure which has only grown in ensuing years (https://ibn.fm/ecFWf). Now, a recently published study has suggested that the annual market for autonomous vehicles could expand to up to 110.1 thousand units by 2026, a majority of which are set to be equipped with lidar technology (https://ibn.fm/bp28F). In fact, and as of January 2022, 17 automakers around the world had announced a total of 21 lidar-equipped passenger car models, either in production or set to be launched in the near future (https://ibn.fm/NcycP). The emerging dominance of lidar as a sensor technology in autonomous vehicles has perhaps been best reflected by the exponential rise in corporate interest within the sector. In early February 2022, fellow lidar technology provider, Velodyne Lidar Inc (NASDAQ: VLDR), witnessed its share price more than double after Amazon agreed to acquire a near 16 percent stake in the company (https://ibn.fm/6N8oR); meanwhile, the CEO of automotive giant, Volkswagen recently went on the record to state that Lidar technology was integral towards attaining ‘Level 3 autonomy’ for vehicles in the future (https://ibn.fm/AXWj9). Cepton has long been operating at the forefront of lidar technology development, with the company’s relentless focus on lidar technology as well as its proprietary directional lidar technology, known as MMT(R) (“Micro Motion Technology”), leading Cepton and its tier-1 partner, Koito Manufacturing of Japan, to be awarded the largest-ever ADAS lidar series production award seen thus far by General Motors on July 13, 2021 (https://ibn.fm/vPonT). Shortly following news of the landmark contract, Ford Motor Company also revealed that they were engaging with Cepton and their custom LiDAR technology for some of the company’s vehicles’ advanced ADAS features. Following the series production award, Dr. Jun Peri commented in relation to the relative merits of lidar technology, “It’s really just a huge benefit in addition to radar and camera, and becomes an entire sensor suite that will bring cars to a higher level of safety and autonomy” (https://ibn.fm/CdzNs). Cepton Technologies’ state-of-the-art technology and robust commercial prospects were certainly at the forefront of Growth Capital Acquisition Corp’s management’s minds when opting to pursue the current business combination. The special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) arrived at a definitive business combination agreement with Cepton Technologies Inc., on August 5, 2021. The transaction valued Cepton at an enterprise value of approximately $1.5 billion on a cash-free, debt-free basis. Lidar technology has emerged as one of the fastest growing segments within the modern automotive industry; having been awarded the largest lidar contract the industry has seen thus far and operating at the very forefront of its field, Cepton, Inc. remains remarkably well positioned to capitalize on the sector’s burgeoning growth prospects.
