• Buprenorphine is a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to treat opioid use disorder and chronic and severe pain
• Nutriband is developing a novel transdermal delivery system for buprenorphine, projected to reach peak annual sales of $70M – $130M
• The company’s AVERSA pipeline currently includes two main candidates: AVERSA(TM) Fentanyl and AVERSA(TM) Buprenorphine

As the opioid epidemic continues to pose one of the most critical public health crises in the United States and around the world, the need for innovative, safer treatments has never been more urgent. One company, Nutriband (NASDAQ: NTRB), is aiming to transform how opioid-based therapies are administered and protected against misuse, using its proprietary Aversa technology to set a new standard for transdermal pain and addiction treatments.

Buprenorphine, the next candidate for Aversa, is a medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to treat opioid use disorder (“OUD”) (https://ibn.fm/eQizg). Like NTRB’s Fentanyl patch, it offers an effective and safer alternative to full opioid agonists and has become a cornerstone in medication-assisted treatment (“MAT”) for OUD.

Clinical research supports buprenorphine’s advantages over other opioid treatments. A 2018 study published by the National Institute of Health found that patients with OUD treated with buprenorphine following a nonfatal opioid overdose are associated with significant reductions in opioid related mortality (https://ibn.fm/PYwdo).

NTRB is building on this momentum with their novel transdermal delivery system for buprenorphine, using its patented Aversa abuse-deterrent technology. Rather than relying on traditional oral films or sublingual tablets, Nutriband’s model involves embedding aversive agents into the patch itself, which deters misuse by producing unpleasant effects if the product is tampered with or consumed orally or intravenously. This innovation is especially important given the high rates of misuse associated with even prescribed opioid therapies.

The company’s Aversa pipeline currently includes two main opioid candidates: AVERSA(TM) Fentanyl and AVERSA(TM) Buprenorphine. AVERSA(TM) Fentanyl, Nutriband’s most advanced product, integrates the deterrent system with an FDA-approved fentanyl patch developed by Kindeva Drug Delivery. According to Nutriband, this would be the world’s first abuse-deterrent fentanyl patch, potentially reducing the risk of diversion, misuse and accidental exposure in a category known for both its efficacy and danger.

AVERSA(TM) Buprenorphine, meanwhile, is being positioned as the next step in the company’s growth. In a market update and based off a Health Advances independent report, Nutriband projected potential peak annual sales of $70 million to $130 million for AVERSA(TM) Buprenorphine in the United States alone upon regulatory approval (https://ibn.fm/foAon). The company is also evaluating international commercialization opportunities, supported by its expanding global patent portfolio.

Nutriband’s broader mission is to develop technologies that reduce the potential for abuse and misuse in pain and addiction treatment. The Aversa platform is designed to be applied to a range of transdermal therapies beyond fentanyl and buprenorphine, potentially addressing multiple categories of prescription misuse. The company believes that its approach could help bridge the gap between effective treatment and public health responsibility in the ongoing fight against opioid-related harm.

As regulators, physicians and patients alike seek new tools to battle the opioid epidemic, Nutriband’s efforts could prove pivotal. If successfully commercialized, Aversa-based products may offer a much-needed blend of efficacy, safety and innovation in a space that has long been fraught with challenges.

• NTRB listed on the Nasdaq in 2021, is trading above its IPO price, and hit an all-time high of $11.78 in January of this year
• Nutriband’s AVERSA abuse-deterrent patch technology is FDA-bound and could command a market potential as high as $800 million annually

Serguei Melnik, Founder and President of Nutriband (NASDAQ: NTRB), recently joined The Smart Money Circle Show, where he pulled back the curtain on his no-nonsense approach to biotech entrepreneurship. His grounded tone and unwavering focus on long-term value stand in stark contrast to the conventional biotech playbook.

As is typical, the topic of the article focused on Nutriband’s history, technology, and vision. To that point, Nutriband’s core innovation is AVERSA, an abuse-deterrent technology designed to prevent the oral misuse of transdermal patches, particularly fentanyl, which can be 100 times more potent than heroin. The AVERSA system embeds ultra-bitter and ultra-spicy components that, in Melnik’s words, make it “almost impossible for abuse or misuse.” In short, risk of abuse is greatly reduced considering in order to ingest a drug like fentanyl, it will be accompanied by a taste akin to Bitrex meeting Pepper X, a real breakthrough in drug safety.

Adult misuse is one thing, but there is also a very real threat of potential death to children who unknowingly are exposed to residual amounts of fentanyl on patches.

The technology is now patented in more than 45 countries, and Nutriband is partnered with Kindeva Drug Delivery to commercialize new products. The company sees the next major milestone as an FDA submission seeking to bring the product to market.

According to Health Advances, the initial market opportunity for abuse-deterrent fentanyl patches could be between $80–$200 million in the first year of launch. If the FDA mandates such technologies, Melnik estimates the opportunity could swell to $800 million annually. Beyond fentanyl, AVERSA is a platform technology that could be adapted for other pain medications, creating multiple commercial pathways.

Doing It Differently from the Start

Unlike most biotech companies that go public with bloated capital raises, Nutriband went public via a Form 10 filing, handling even the legal work in-house with minimal funds. When bankers offered them tens of millions of dollars early on, Melnik walked away, believing it would ultimately destroy shareholder value. He cites peers who accepted similar terms and are now trading at fractions of their former selves – if they’re still trading at all. Meanwhile, Nutriband continues to trade above its IPO price and even hit an all-time high of $11.78 in January.

Outsmarting the Market and Protecting Shareholders

Melnik spoke candidly about how he witnessed the tactics of Wall Street firsthand. He shared a striking story of how market manipulators seemingly used company news against them. After observing suspicious trading patterns, Nutriband began keeping developments under wraps. In one example, when a patent was quietly announced in late 2021, shares surged from $3 to $10.44 on nearly 150 million shares of volume, the most active stock on Nasdaq that day. The lesson: silence can sometimes protect momentum.

Rather than fight Wall Street games, Melnik and his team took a different route to preserve capital. In 2022, the entire executive team took a 50% pay cut, saving $600,000 and extending their runway by over two years. That financial discipline attracted long-term allies, including a billionaire new investor, who has been very supportive of the company as it nears FDA submission for its flagship product.

Beyond Biotech: Diversified Revenue Streams and Transdermal Expertise

Unlike most early-stage biotech companies, Nutriband generates revenue today. The company operates a manufacturing facility in North Carolina that produces the Active Intelligence tape used by Reebok, among others. They also recently launched a mosquito-repelling patch, now approved for sale in Costa Rica. Melnik and his team personally tested the product by trekking through the Talamanca Mountain range without a single mosquito bite in four days.

Transdermal expertise is Nutriband’s hallmark, and Melnik is as committed as ever. “We only try to control what we can control,” he said. “If Wall Street funds don’t understand that we’re not coming back to them, I don’t know what else will make them.”

Leadership That Puts People First

Melnik isn’t just a President; he’s a founder with skin in the game, having tested products himself and taken financial hits to keep the company alive. Yet when asked in the podcast to share advice with his younger self, he didn’t talk about business plans or capital raises. He spoke about family and time.

His grounded mindset, passion for innovation, and unwillingness to compromise on shareholder value position Nutriband as a rare biotech story, one led by integrity, resilience, and vision that is nearing some critical milestones that could serve as significant catalysts to corporate value.

• AI, RaaS are redefining how the hospitality sector delivers what guests expect
• Robots are becoming an integral part of hotel operations, performing tasks such as room service deliveries, housekeeping support and facility maintenance
• Nightfood Holdings has strategically evolved its business model to incorporate AI and RaaS into its offerings for hospitality clients

The hospitality sector is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (“AI”) and Robotics as a Service (“RaaS”). In parallel with these industry-wide developments, Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF) has embarked on an ambitious expansion into AI and RaaS solutions for the hospitality industry, establishing itself as an emerging leader among technological development.

“Today, AI dominates many conversations across different industries, and AI in hospitality is no exception,” stated a recent HospitalityNet report. “It is redefining the notion of a ‘norm’ and what guests expect.”

The HospitalityNet article emphasizes the growing integration of AI across all facets of hotel operations. Far beyond its early applications in customer-service chatbots, AI is now powering personalized marketing campaigns, dynamic pricing models and predictive maintenance programs. By harnessing vast amounts of guest and operational data, AI solutions enable hotels to fine-tune every aspect of their service delivery, enhancing guest satisfaction while driving profitability. Predictive analytics are being used to anticipate demand trends, optimize staffing schedules, and personalize guest recommendations, resulting in more efficient operations and more memorable guest experiences.

“The hospitality industry is no stranger to pressure,” notes an HNR Hotel News article (https://ibn.fm/Ug8Fu). “Between ongoing staffing shortages, rising guest expectations and razor-thin margins, hotels are expected to do more with less –– and still deliver standout service at every touchpoint.

“But while these challenges are real, so is the opportunity,” the article noted. “AI has quickly shifted from being a buzzword to a business-critical tool. It’s already being used to lighten the load on overworked teams, convert more direct bookings, personalize the guest experience and boost revenue — all while running quietly in the background.”

The article underscores the increasing importance of Robotics as a Service in the hospitality landscape. Robots are becoming an integral part of hotel operations, performing tasks such as room service deliveries, housekeeping support and facility maintenance. The adoption of RaaS models allows hotels to implement robotic solutions without substantial capital expenditures, providing a cost-effective pathway to modernization.

These robotic systems are designed to complement human employees, not replace them, freeing staff to focus on higher-touch aspects of guest interaction while automating repetitive or physically demanding tasks. The pandemic accelerated the demand for contactless solutions, further solidifying the role of robotics and AI in ensuring safe, seamless hospitality experiences.

Both articles recognize that the integration of AI and RaaS is no longer a futuristic aspiration but a present-day necessity for hotels seeking to remain competitive. Innovations in these areas address not only operational efficiencies but also critical workforce challenges, particularly in light of ongoing labor shortages.

In reaction to these industry trends, Nightfood Holdings has strategically evolved its business model to incorporate AI and RaaS into its offerings for hospitality clients. Nightfood has leveraged its deep understanding of hotel guest needs to develop technology-driven amenities that enhance the overnight guest experience. The company’s investments in AI and robotics underscore its commitment to supporting the hospitality industry’s transformation with innovative, scalable solutions.

NGTF is focused on deploying robotic delivery systems in hotels. These robots operate under a RaaS model, offering hotels the benefits of cutting-edge technology without the associated upfront costs. The autonomous units not only elevate guest experience by providing convenience and novelty but also help hotels address labor shortages by automating routine delivery tasks. By offering a RaaS solution tailored specifically for the hotel environment, Nightfood is providing properties with a modern, efficient, and guest-centric amenity.

In addition to robotics, Nightfood is developing AI-powered analytics platforms that help hotels better understand and anticipate guest needs during the overnight hours. These systems analyze consumption patterns, optimize inventory management and suggest strategic enhancements to nighttime amenities. This aligns seamlessly with the industry’s broader shift toward personalization and operational intelligence.

Nightfood Holdings’ entry into the AI and RaaS landscape reflects a forward-thinking approach that is rare among consumer brands entering the hospitality technology sector. Nightfood is uniquely positioned to help hotels navigate current challenges while preparing for the future. As the hospitality industry continues to embrace innovation as a competitive necessity, Nightfood’s technology-driven initiatives are setting a new standard for guest services and operational excellence. With its expansion into AI and robotics, Nightfood Holdings is fast becoming a pivotal player in the broader transformation of the hospitality experience.

The conference will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, July 1 and 2, in the Perth metropolitan area port hub of Western Australia, a region steeped in mining resource commodities that include iron ore, gold, diamonds and petroleum.

Concierge meeting services and branded booths for hosting the meetings provide opportunities to discover potential market movers. Panel sessions will promote dialogue among companies and investors, while casual get-togethers over food and drinks create platforms for networking.

The agenda includes: 

• Two days of insights from speakers on Western Australia’s gold fields, as well as insights into copper, titanium oxide, and other impact metals.
• Tailored meeting services between family office or retail investors and mining companies, institutional funds, and private equity groups.
• Networking opportunities with peers.
• Opportunities to get involved with projects ranging from development to exploration stages.
• Companies with a large focus on Australia but also opportunities in Mongolia, West Africa, Peru and Canada.
• The amenities of the Crown Perth’s resort hotel and casino complex situated along Perth’s Swan River.

Because the conference is developed from MiningNews.net’s and Mining Journal’s access to a global audience of 100,000 sophisticated investors and more than 1.5 million retail investors, attendees can leverage access to some of the most active players in their respective sectors.

Investor delegates gain free access to the event with their commitment to a minimum of five private meetings onsite. Companies, academics and representatives of government, non-governmental organizations have differing tiers for registration in the event based on their status.

The two-day conference coincides with Perth’s Future of Mining event, which is a parent forum for the gathering, also located at the Crown Perth, and a means of further expanding industry contacts and insights.
