• Global cannabis brand Flora Growth Corp. is enjoying new opportunities for supplying its Colombian-grown high-THC and high-CBD flower to international markets, thanks to the finalization of regulatory framework allowing legal cannabis exports from the South American country
• Flora Growth is authorized to export non-psychoactive cannabidiol (“CBD”) products as well as up to 43,600 kg of products with high-tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) psychoactive cannabis content
• Flora Growth’s Cosechemos cultivation facility in central Colombia is currently capable of producing 600 kg of dried cannabis daily, as well as over 10,000 kg of cannabis derivatives annually under EU-GMP guidelines

During the past 10 years, the Colombia’s administration has made substantial strides in ushering in a new era of successful social policy dealing with its storied history (https://ibn.fm/Pv13I), and last year President Ivan Duque opened the latest chapter when he helped spearhead efforts to legalize commerce in dried cannabis flowers and biomass for medical purposes and establish a regulatory framework for global cannabis export (https://ibn.fm/yklxT). The country’s new openness to the legal international market for cannabis derivative products is fueling the explosive energy that global cannabis brand builder Flora Growth (NASDAQ: FLGC) has shown in building an international supply chain and distribution networks. Flora Growth operates a 100-hectare (about 247-acre) cultivation facility known as Cosechemos in the heart of Colombia’s lush green environs, and the company has filed licenses for more than 20 cannabinoid-infused food and beverage products with Colombia’s food and drug regulatory body, including juices, sparkling seltzers, gummies, chocolates, ghee butter and healthy snack foods that prioritize natural ingredients and value-chain sustainability (https://ibn.fm/oSwmu). On April 4, the company issued a news release celebrating Colombia’s final passage of Resolution 539, which establishes the cannabis flower regulatory checklist that enables licensed cannabis cultivators with export quotas, including Flora, to pass a mandatory approval process for the export of both non-psychoactive CBD and the drug product THC flower. “Flora applauds the recent announcement by the Colombian Government as we have been working diligently to have all the necessary approvals and capabilities available to produce high THC flower, including multiple cannabis strains with THC levels over 20 percent,” Chief Commercial Officer Jason Warnock stated in the news release (https://ibn.fm/eRk2d). “This resolution also clears the path to export dried CBD flower to markets including the United States where Flora already sell hundreds of CBD products via owned brands like JustCBD, MIND, and Mambe.” Last month, the company announced that the government’s Ministry of Health and Social Protection had expanded approval for its product exports to include not only cannabis derivative products with less than 1 percent of the psychoactive THC compound but also up to 43,600 kg of high-THC cannabis for health and wellness products (https://ibn.fm/9RGHd). Cosechemos is currently capable of producing 600 kg of dried cannabis daily, as well as over 10,000 kg of cannabis derivatives annually under EU-GMP guidelines. The ability to include shipments of dried cannabis flower with derivatives exports to Flora subsidiaries Flora Lab in Bogota, Colombia, and JustCBD in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, helps the company complete the vertical integration of portfolio products including CBD edible, topicals, and other infused products.

• Knightscope is a developer of autonomous security robots that are designed to improve on existing corporate and governmental security operations through the use of artificial intelligence-enhanced surveillance technologies and on-site deterrence
• Knightscope recently celebrated a significant company milestone with its launch on the Nasdaq Global Market exchange
• The company is also in the middle of a two-year Authority-to-Operate (“ATO”) review by the federal government as Knightscope works to establish a long-term working relationship with the government
• Corporate clients recently welcomed into Knightscope’s service family include a Fortune 500 finance company in Charlotte, N.C., a Silicon Valley twin-tower office complex in California, and a large-scale commercial real estate developer in Colorado

Rising reports of criminal violence against Americans en masse, ranging from angry individuals armed with rapid-fire weapons to foreign operatives equipped for acts of terror, are driving security managers to increasingly draw on artificial intelligence (“AI”) and other high-tech tools to help identify potential threats and deter them where possible. Autonomous security robot (“ASR”) developer Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP) is entering its 10th year as a company devoted to creating AI-enhanced deterrence solutions for clients across a wide range of industries and at varied levels of public government. The continuous addition of new clients and the company’s recent entry on the Nasdaq Global Market exchange show that a number of people share Knightscope’s vision for meeting the challenge of deterring crimes that not only harm individuals, but undermine our well-being as a nation. Among other developments the company has celebrated during recent months, a Fortune 500 finance company in Charlotte, N.C., added a Knightscope ASR model to its existing security operations (https://ibn.fm/BmLri), a Silicon Valley twin-tower office complex did likewise in California (https://ibn.fm/8IHhL), and a Colorado commercial real estate developer contracted with Knightscope to provide a security presence at an in-development urban live/work/play community (https://ibn.fm/HihxZ). Knightscope is in the middle of a two-year cyber security review process with the U.S. federal government and is working diligently towards an Authority-to-Operate (“ATO”) that will certify the company’s technology as authorized under the government’s security and privacy risk management protocols for networks in select agencies. Additionally, Paul C. D’Angio, a former chief robotics engineer at a government contractor, has joined the Knightscope team reporting to Mercedes Soria, EVP and Chief Intelligence Officer.  Soria is spearheading the ATO application working very closely with federal officials, auditors, vendors and the technical team and she was part of the founding management team of Knightscope in 2013. “We are very excited to have Paul join our growing team of technologists, patriots, and executives laser focused on reimagining public safety at a time when our Nation needs it most,” Knightscope Chairman and CEO William Santana Li stated in a news release last month (https://ibn.fm/YdUtd). “In anticipation of significant future long-term business with the federal government, we are actively working on planning our footprint in Washington, D.C. for the 2023+ timeframe.” Knightscope’s ASR robots come in three models with differing capabilities according to the needs of the company’s clients — one is a stationary model that can be located at entryways or throughout a facility. The other two are mobile to allow responsiveness at multiple locations, for indoor office environments on the one hand and for outdoor locations such as parks and parking lots for the other. The models are managed by a central Knightscope Security Operations Center (“KSOC”) with a browser-based user interface for authorized client managers to monitor ASR transmissions, retrieve data and communicate with people in the robots’ surroundings. The ASRs are adaptable to use a variety of cutting edge technologies, including thermal scanners, facial recognition and license plate recognition software, 360-degree 4K video and a number of other onboard sensors that monitor, analyze, record, and report, based upon established event protocols, including the detection of digital communication transmissions.

• Transact Europe has highly sought-after licensing, including principal level membership of Visa, worldwide membership of Mastercard, and principal membership of China UnionPay
• GreenBox’s acquisition provides a fertile foundation for its stablecoin project, coyni
• Clients of GreenBox will now have easy access to the tools they need to take their business across borders

GreenBox POS (NASDAQ: GBOX), an emerging FinTech company experiencing rapid industry growth, recently announced that it completed the rigorous regulatory process required in the acquisition of Transact Europe Holdings – an acquisition valued at approximately $28 million, substantiated by the value of Transact Europe’s business volume, strategic licensing, systems, and personnel (https://ibn.fm/0vFou). Transact Europe EAD (“TEU”) is an EU-regulated electronic money institution headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria. TEU has an assortment of highly sought-after licenses, including principal level membership of Visa, worldwide membership of Mastercard, and principal membership of China UnionPay. TEU is also a part of the direct Single Euro Payments Area (“SEPA”), which is a crucial payment system enabling the increased presence of cashless payments across Europe. TEU’s global footprint and proprietary payment gateway and technology platform position GreenBox to expand its share in a market where the opportunities for new entrants to dominate are immense. GreenBox’s acquisition of TEU allows the company to deliver European merchants an advantage of speedier payments, competitive rates, easy onboarding, and expertise in higher-risk verticals. The company has several key initiatives ready to deploy to unleash synergies and usher in growth. The retail segment is one target area with the card present transaction arm of TEU. The incorporation of alternate payment methods across Europe will expand acceptance that includes other regional card issuers. Additionally, banking and foreign exchange capabilities are a value-add solution afforded to clients and are expected to drive revenue for GreenBox. Ben Errez, chairman of GreenBox, commented on the acquisition, saying it was a momentous triumph for the company, representing the most significant asset to date for GreenBox, allowing it to move forward as a significant player in the European and global marketplace. “GreenBox and TEU are a natural complement to each other, with TEU’s licenses and infrastructure combined with GreenBox’s suite of customized blockchain payment solutions, global strategy, and technology creating a powerful synergy that we believe will quickly scale in the European market in which non-cash payments account for over 100 billion transactions and exceed 160 trillion euros per year,” Errez said. “Furthermore, our combined infrastructure paves the way for expansion into other digital payments markets and countries around the world. As a result, we expect to see momentous gains in processing volume leading to stronger revenue contribution and long-term sustainable value our shareholders expect.” With substantial transactions in the region taking place across borders, GreenBox’s acquisition of TEU will provide a solid foundation to drive the adoption of coyni, GreenBox’s stablecoin and digital payment platform technology. Additionally, the acquisition will provide the allure for United States clients with the capabilities necessary to expand their businesses into the European market and vice versa. During the first year, TEU is expected to contribute approximately $2 million of adjusted EBITDA, and GreenBox anticipates that this transaction will be accretive to cash earnings per share in the first year. “We have already seen over the past few months the depth and breadth of new merchants and partner opportunities that GreenBox is adding to Transact Europe. These substantial volumes and excellent margins make it clear how successful GreenBox will be in their ownership. We wish them every success,” TEU Chairman James Bergman also commented.

• President Biden’s executive order dated December 8, 2021, focused on five key pillars for emissions eliminations, among them the net-zero building portfolio by 2045
• This directive has given the rise in value to the portfolio energy optimization industry, which currently stands at $290 billion, with projections that the sector will continue to grow
• Correlate seeks to capitalize on this growth through its two principal subsidiaries, offering a comprehensive suite of proprietary clean energy assessment and fulfillment solutions

On December 8, 2021, the President released an executive order to see the federal government produce net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The order involved five primary pillars for emissions elimination: carbon pollution-free electricity, zero-emission vehicles, net-zero emissions from federal procurement, net-zero emissions building portfolio, and net-zero emissions from overall federal operations (https://ibn.fm/GRmpZ). One of the directive’s main goals was to have government buildings portfolio reduce their carbon emissions by 50% by 2032, 65% by 2030, and be carbon-free by 2045. “Extreme weather events, exacerbated by climate change, cost our nation $99 billion in economic damages last year- a record we are poised to break this year,” noted President Biden. “The time is now to take bold action to make our entire nation more resilient and sustainable,” he added. This directive has given the rise in the value of the portfolio energy optimization industry, which is currently valued at $290 billion in the United States alone. So far, over 5.9 million commercial buildings in the country need retrofitting to get their emissions down, presenting a tremendous opportunity for organizations in this space. One enterprise that is at the forefront of this sector is Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI), formerly TRICCAR Inc. Through its two principal subsidiaries, Correlate and Solar Site Design, Correlate offers a complete suite of proprietary clean energy assessment and fulfillment solutions, particularly for the commercial real estate industry. Today, commercial buildings consume over 45% of generated electricity in the United States, posting gross underperformance in energy efficiency at every level. Consequently, there is a growing need to explore alternatives, improve efficiency, and reduce overreliance on non-renewable sources of energy (https://ibn.fm/HOkKo). So far, Correlate and Solar Site Design have accrued over $100 million in commercial projects, with over $20 million in awarded backlog. The company’s management understands the opportunity in the market today and is positioning itself to capitalize on it and achieve growth in value for its shareholders. Through its data in proprietary analytics, concierge subscription services, and a highly scalable national fulfillment network, Correlate is not only offering opportunity to shareholders but also to clients. It is assisting building owners in profiting from fully-funded, turnkey decarbonization and facility health programs without incurring high upfront costs.

• Through effective leadership, Eat Well Investment Group has established a record of steering in the right direction, sheltering shareholder value and sealing its position as a sector leader in the food industry
• The company recognizes the opportunity present in the plant-based foods market, hence its investment in acquisitions, an accelerated product distribution plan, and the addition of key team members
• Eat Well Investment Group is optimistic about the future and maintains its 2022 revenue projections at $90-$110 million

In a recent business letter, Eat Well Investment Group’s (CSE: EWG) (OTC: EWGFF) Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Marc Aneed, acknowledged how the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, along with the Russia-Ukraine war, had taken a toll on supply chains. “The world is witnessing one of the worst global supply chains in history,” he noted. “Getting products in containers on planes, trains, and ships to meet the demand remains a formidable task. However, I have the utmost confidence in our teams and partners,” he added (https://ibn.fm/9DRyf). Since its inception in 2020, Eat Well Investment Group has managed to deal with one challenge after another, always coming out on top. This has been evidenced by the company’s uninterrupted expansion moves that have seen the acquisition of Belle Pulses Ltd., Sapientia Technology Inc., and Amara Organic Foods. It is also demonstrated by its accelerated distribution plan that has seen mainstream stores such as Costco, Walmart, and HEB grocery stores stocking its product. In a study conducted by Bloomberg Intelligence back in August 2021, it was established that the plant-based foods market is projected to experience explosive growth over the coming years. It is estimated that by 2030, this sector will be valued at $162 billion, up from $29.4 billion in 2020. It is further estimated that by 2030, plant-based food will account for 7.7% of the global protein market (https://ibn.fm/XRkm1). Over the 2022 calendar year, the company seeks to execute significant investments and add key team members to expand its physical presence and bolster its functional experience in critical areas. “While we successfully executed three major acquisitions within a short time in 2021, we will be making further selective investments and acquisitions to expand each of our portfolio companies’ business reach and adding team members to bolster our functional experience in critical areas,” noted Mr. Aneed. The company’s management is optimistic that it will achieve its short-term goals for the year and set up the foundation to achieve bigger long-term goals as time progresses. The company is already projecting revenues between $90 and $110 million for the 2022 fiscal year after it forecasted approximately $60 million in 2021. We are eagerly anticipating the Company’s financials expected shortly. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.EatWellGroup.com.

• EverGen is an established green energy producer focused on Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”), waste to energy, and related infrastructure projects contributing to a sustainable future
• The company currently runs a compelling portfolio of three projects: Fraser Valley Biogas, Net Zero Waste Abbotsford, and Sea to Sky Soils
• Although currently focused on Canada, EverGen expects continued growth beyond its domicile country, including regions in North America and more
• EverGen’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange and started trading on the OTCQB(R) Venture Market on February 15, 2022. The company aims to attract and engage with a broader base of investors outside of Canada with this move
• With business deeply rooted in the company’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) values, EverGen contributes to a sustainable future while making a meaningful impact in the communities where it operates
• With renewables becoming increasingly crucial in combating climate change, EverGen boasts a compelling business profile supported by a leadership team of passionate environmental innovators and community leaders establishing EverGen as the leading RNG Infrastructure Platform

EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQB: EVGIF) is a Canada-based renewable energy producer focused on Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”), waste to energy, and related infrastructure projects. The company provides clean energy alternatives with RNG projects that are carbon-negative since they help create energy from organic waste that would otherwise emit harmful greenhouse gases. EverGen uses innovative systems to capture and process these emissions into RNG. As a result, this solution helps solve a growing waste problem while creating energy resources that contribute to the circular economy and decrease global emissions. As the low-carbon economy is becoming critical, clean energy alternatives are taking center stage in the global effort to reduce the threat of climate change and increase the quality of life for people around the world due to reduced pollution. Moreover, new technologies have inspired innovation in the sector, helping it make strides in tackling the global energy challenge and bringing down the costs of producing energy from natural sources that are constantly replenished. As a result, renewable energy is booming, becoming a compelling investment proposition as the sector starts to deliver on the promise of a fundamental change towards a clean energy future. With 51 billion tons of greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere each year (https://ibn.fm/gbdBy), a lower carbon economy becomes a necessity. This is where EverGen sees its place in the world, as the company that is committed to bridging the gap between social and environmental responsibility with financial incentives and economic growth. Instead of letting methane from animal waste and other biomass sources go directly into the atmosphere, EverGen’s solutions capture the harmful gas and convert it to RNG for use in the natural gas grid. As a result, the negative impact on the environment is substantially reduced since the released greenhouse gasses are materially less potent than methane. Using RNG means that the carbon already circulating in the environment is recycled instead of increased. In contrast, burning fossil fuel releases new carbon emissions that were previously stored in the earth. Also, unlike conventional natural gas, RNG allows additional carbon emission reductions due to methane emission avoidance. For example, RNG generated from food waste enables landfill diversion, and RNG made using anaerobic digesters improves manure management at farms. How Renewable Natural Gas Helps Deliver on Sustainability Targets  Renewable gas is going mainstream. In Canada, natural gas utilities have set an aspirational target of 5% RNG blended into natural gas streams by 2025 and 10% by 2030, intending to achieve 24 MT of GHG emission reductions per year by 2030 — equivalent to removing 5.2 million passenger cars from the road. EverGen is one of the key players in the Canadian RNG space. Aligned with the provincial government’s targets, FortisBC, a Canadian gas utility, aims to reduce its customers’ greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030. To work towards this 30BY30 goal, FortisBC partnered with EverGen through a 20-year offtake agreement to supply enough carbon-neutral RNG for 1,900 homes in the Metro Vancouver region. As FortisBC’s RNG supplier, EverGen is critical in achieving its 30BY30 target by increasing the amount of RNG in FortisBC’s natural gas lines. EverGen Current Projects Fraser Valley Biogas is an anaerobic digestion facility that utilizes local agriculture and commercial food processing waste to generate renewable natural gas and renewable fertilizer. Founded in 2011, Fraser Valley Biogas was the first agricultural digester to produce renewable natural gas in Canada. EverGen acquired Fraser Valley Biogas in 2021 and is currently working on enhancing and expanding the facility. The RNG generated through this project helps FortisBC’s program supply renewable gas to its customers. Also, it provides Abbotsford farms with renewable fertilizer via the digestate produced as part of the process of digesting manure and off-farm organics. Net Zero Waste Abbotsford Inc. works with communities toward a Zero Waste goal by using composting technology for a cleaner and greener environment. Net Zero Waste Abbotsford provides the services that support programs promoting better organic waste management by encouraging producer and user responsibility practices. The project employs innovative designs that allow financial incentives for waste reduction through tipping fees well below the cost of landfill. EverGen’s Sea to Sky Soils Project is an organic waste processing facility in Pemberton, B.C., handling organics to produce high-quality soil products such as stable compost. Sea to Sky Soils has been helping to divert organic waste from landfills since 2012, catalyzing a circular economy by using the organic, yard, and wood waste to produce high-quality amendments and blends that are later used on farms, landscapes, and gardens. Still, Sea to Sky Soils aims to be more than just a world-class organic waste processing facility. Instead, the project is committed to making a meaningful impact in the communities where it operates. Having operated on Lil’wat Nation land since 2012, the long-term partnership with First Nations and municipalities across BC is at the heart of how EverGen approaches business operations. In line with these values, Sea to Sky Soils supports social, cultural, and recreational programs in Mount Currie and contributes to the economic upliftment of the Lil’wat community by employing their talent on the project. ESG-Driven Business Model That Bridges Commercial Success with Shared Prosperity Committed to operating ESG value-driven businesses and contributing to the well-being of local communities, EverGen aims to marry commercial success with environmental consciousness. Although the company is currently focused on projects based in Canada, EverGen expects continued growth beyond its domicile country, including regions in North America and more. EverGen’s common shares began trading on the OTCQB(R) Venture Market (“OTCQB”) in the United States on February 15, 2022, to attract and engage with a broader base of investors outside of Canada. With the leadership team of passionate environmental innovators and community leaders that works toward a shared vision of establishing EverGen as the leading RNG Infrastructure Platform, the company boasts an executive team with more than 20 years of experience in RNG project development, oversight & optimization across over 60 projects globally. With business processes deeply rooted in the company’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) values, EverGen works with its stakeholders, including First Nations communities, customers, and investors, to operate and grow sustainably, ensuring responsible development, disciplined asset management, financial strength, and resiliency.
