The coronavirus pandemic changed many things in the world, and you can be sure investing is on the list. According to a Charles Schwab survey earlier this year, about 15 percent of today’s retail investor population got started in 2020, a group Schwab has labeled “Generation Investor.” In the survey of about 1,000 people, Schwab also learned that investing respondents are taking a long approach and that it isn’t just younger generations putting their money in the market, a mix that bodes well for communications specialists like SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX). SRAX is a diversified financial technology, digital marketing and consumer data management company that provides an array of consumer data to its clients valuable to marketing and communications. SRAX’s flagship offering is a premier investor intelligence and communications platform branded Sequire. In September 2020, SRAX also completed the acquisition of LD Micro, arguably the best-known name in data and events serving the small and microcap markets. Schwab’s research discovered a median age of 35 for Generation Investor, comprised of about 11% Baby Boomers, 16% Generation Z, 22% Generations X and the remainder being Millennials. SRAX’s technology unlocks stock buyers’ behaviors and trends for issuers of publicly traded companies. The platform provides insights on shareholders and market makers, investor relations management, shareholder outreach tools, and data-driven marketing. Looking to leverage the SRAX technology to assist with its investor outreach and growth initiatives, oil and gas explorer, Sino American Oil Company (OTCPK: OILY), engaged SRAX this month to better understand its investors and target them in an efficient manner. The partnership will allow Sino American Oil to optimize marketing and communications strategies to reach out to consumers, shareholders, and investors. According to Sino American Oil CEO Kim Halvorson, the company did its due diligence before partnering with SRAX. “We have been following SRAX for some time now, they’re expertise in the Oil and Gas sector and the digital marketing has been impressive,” said Halvorson. Expanding its offerings, SRAX recently launched an IR Website Builder, SMS feature and VIRA, and an IR chatbot. This has translated to a strong improvement in revenue, which rose 219% year-over-year in the third quarter to $8.3 million. With Q4 bookings exceeding $12.5 million so far, SRAX is on track to hit the high end of 2021 guidance, according to CEO Christopher Miglino.

• Tingo is an Africa-focused agri-fintech company, which seeks to empower rural farming communities through the introduction of innovative farming solutions
• In addition to driving shareholder returns, the company has also sought to empower societies and produce social upliftment in rural communities in which it is active
• The company has adopted 5 core sustainable development goals – food security, poverty alleviation, financial inclusion, employment opportunities, & gender equality

By the end of the first quarter of 2021, assets under management held within ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) focused funds around the world had ballooned to $1.984 trillion, driven by a global drive towards increased sustainability and rising social awareness. Soaring investor demand for assets aligning with their social and ethical concerns have turbo-charged inflows towards sustainable investments; in fact, a study found that 89 cents of every dollar invested within active funds in July 2021 was directed towards ESG-focused funds. Tingo (OTCQB: IWBB), a digital service agri-fintech technology company focused on foundation-level agriculture and related financial services in Africa, has made it its mission to both, support the domestic economies of its host countries and support technological and financial inclusion to reduce poverty levels. Thus, and through its unique business model, Tingo hopes to deliver attractive returns to shareholders while simultaneously, investing in the long-term future of the company and its subsidiaries. Tingo Inc aims to be Africa’s leading agri-fintech player, with a multi-pronged strategy which seeks to provide a roadmap through which to address several key areas of social concern within the African continent. As such, the company has sought to adopt five core sustainable development goals as its corporate mission, namely – ensuring food security, driving poverty alleviation, promoting digital financial inclusion, encouraging job creation, and supporting female entrepreneurship and empowerment. A recent study found that nearly 72 percent of Nigerian smallholder farms survived on less than $1.90 per day, with most living well below the poverty line. Moreover, a significant percentage of the farmers were subject to the vagaries of climate change, an increasingly frequent challenge to the success of their individual harvests. Tingo has sought to both, alleviate poverty levels and address food security through the introduction of new and impactful agri-based farming solutions in a bid to create jobs and uplift incomes for millions of rural farmers in select markets. Alongside their goal to boost employment opportunities within rural areas, Tingo has looked to alleviate poverty and promote digital financial inclusion amongst its millions of stake holders through the disruption of legacy micro-finance industries within the African region. The company has sought to provide its users with a range of innovative financial products, alongside an agri-trading platform and credit solutions, designed to helps farmers market their harvests in a more efficient manner and borrow funds at market rates. Farmers will now be able to access DeFi-stable coins and smart contracts, thereby providing agri-communities access to credit-market driven digital finance solutions to held make them more competitive. Through the company’s proprietary and proven digital technology platforms, Tingo will seek to provide low-cost and dignified mobile transaction services using a dedicated mobile application, thereby lifting a key business barrier to what has historically been a largely underbanked populace. A key tenet underpinning Tingo’s business model has been the company’s steadfast commitment to gender equality. Tingo has looked to encourage female entrepreneurship within Africa’s rural communities through the introduction of training schemes designed to encourage women to operate both, farming and collection businesses. The success of the scheme is best illustrated through Tingo’s burgeoning agent network, which currently consists of approximately 15,000 members – the overwhelming majority of whom are women (https://ibn.fm/qj4GM). In a global economy which is increasingly seeing growing socio-economic differences and competitive pressures, Tingo Inc has sought to create a unique business model which seeks to build out the company as one of Africa’s leading agri-fintech providers while simultaneously, contributing to bettering the lives of millions with Africa’s rural communities.

• Around 40% of available marketed drugs are poorly bioavailable or soluble, and about 90% of New Chemical Entities are known for their low solubility and permeability
• Lexaria’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology offers a solution by improving how APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) enter the bloodstream
• DehydraTECH achieves this by bypassing first-pass-liver metabolism
• By doing so, Lexaria is facilitating faster and much more thorough drug delivery

In a report published in the Bioavailability Enhancement Technologies and Services Market, 2018-2030, it was established that around 40% of available marketed drugs are poorly bioavailable or soluble. It was further estimated that approximately 90% of New Chemical Entities (“NCEs”) belong to Biopharmaceutics Classification System (“BCS”) class II and IV, known for their low solubility and permeability (https://ibn.fm/xfrBh). Today, a significant number of drugs fail to reach the market owing to their poor bioavailability. This has prompted companies to re-formulate existing product candidates and explore different tools and methods to try to solve the problem. Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) has taken on the challenge and is currently leading the industry in terms of innovation in drug delivery platforms. Its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology is specifically designed to improve how active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) enter the bloodstream, ultimately increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble molecules. Lexaria’s DehydraTECH is a product of years of research and millions of dollars in investments. So far, the technology is covered by 23 issued and over 50 pending patents in 40 different countries worldwide. The demand for solutions is so acute, that more and more companies are offering technologies and/or services geared towards bioavailability enhancement. In addition, several players have even developed novel, industry-leading technologies to maintain a competitive edge in this market that is showing great potential for growth. Lexaria recognized this opportunity back in 2014 and has been investing aggressively into research and the strategic partnerships it has forged so far. Bioavailability can be described as how much an APIcan access the bloodstream within the body. This is typically dependent on absorption as well as secretion. It works on the principle that an API can only offer benefits if it can be absorbed into the body in the first place (https://ibn.fm/8DNGH). One way through which drugs, particularly orally administered ones, have their bioavailability compromised is through first-pass liver processing. Usually, once they are ingested, they must travel from the intestine to the liver for metabolization, before they are circulated within the body and eventually to their targeted area. This arduous process can reduce the amount of drug that actually reaches the bloodstream by as much as twenty-fold inhibiting the effectiveness of the drug itself. Because DehydraTECH bypasses this first-pass liver processing, the drugs begin to reach the bloodstream in as little as two minutes and often reach blood concentration levels between 100% and 200% higher. In addition, given the effectiveness of this technology, patients can also enjoy reduced drug dosing which has the potential to significantly lower the cost of treatment. Lexaria remains committed to exploring new ways through which its DehydraTECH technology can help even more people. So far, it is investigating new products for hypertension, anti-viral treatments, oral nicotine, and other drug classes, with notable progress made so far. The company is also conducting research and development on several critical indications, including epilepsy, dementia, rheumatoid disease, diabetes, human hormones, Ibuprofen and Naproxen (“NSAIDs”), and PDE5 inhibitors. Lexaria understands the value and usefulness of its technology, hence its commitment to further research and partnering with other strategic players within the industry. Its efforts improve the bioavailability of pharmaceuticals and therapeutics, one drug class at a time. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.LexariaBioscience.com.

• Canadian-based clean energy solutions innovator FuelPositive Corp. is focused on developing green ammonia as a more efficient and sustainable source of fuel than the popular fossil fuel alternative hydrogen
• FuelPositive’s Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer technology provides the means of storing hydrogen as green ammonia for effective transportation and storage, with the option of easy conversion back to hydrogen for use in hydrogen fuel cells and other pure hydrogen applications
• The company is among a handful of entities that have noted Canada’s outsized support for fossil fuels recently, and plans to roll out its IP next year in “real world” demonstration pilot projects
• Carbon footprint reduction has gained global attention in recent years amid concerns about climate change resulting from pollutants, and policy representatives from around the world recently gathered in Scotland for the COP26 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference to address related issues

When green energy innovator FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) commissioned an analysis of Canada’s green off-peak electricity capacity earlier this year to help measure the fuel needs and carbon emissions of the country’s transportation sector, FuelPositive was adding its own insights to a recent series of examinations of Canada’s renewable energy performance. Oil Change International, which tracks public finance of fossil fuels, reported last month that Canadian fossil fuel producers receive more public financial support than any others in the developed world, and that Canadian renewable energy received far less in public financial support than many other countries provide to their industries (https://ibn.fm/434r3). The report noted that both the federal government and Export Development Canada — the agency that handles most of the financing — have pledged they’ll reduce fossil fuel financing during the coming years, with the Liberal party setting a deadline of 2023. Export Development Canada expects to reduce support to the six most carbon-intensive sectors by 40% below 2018 levels before the deadline, according to the report. FuelPositive is in the business of developing and commercializing green energy solutions and gaining standout technology innovation in the sector through partnerships and acquisition, specifically in regard to “green ammonia” produced in a carbon-free manner for use in a variety of applications that contribute to environmental sustainability at a time when climate change is a profound concern for world governments. FuelPositive’s patent-pending green ammonia (“NH3”) technology is an advanced Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer, a highly portable and scalable and modular system the company plans to introduce next year in “real world” demonstration pilot projects as it advances toward commercial production (https://ibn.fm/QPvbF). Carbon-free green ammonia has the potential to become a fossil fuel alternative — the company notes that planes, trains, ships, trucks, and other vehicles can be converted to run on ammonia as easily as they can be converted to run on propane instead of gasoline or diesel. Additionally, FuelPositive’s Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer technology can convert air, water, and sustainable electricity to store hydrogen in the form of green ammonia, allowing hydrogen to be more efficiently stored or transported than it would be in liquid hydrogen form which requires high-pressure tanks and cryogenic storage temperatures. An end user can then easily convert the green ammonia back into hydrogen for use in producing electricity in a hydrogen fuel cell when that is required by transportation vehicles, according to the company. FuelPositive is also pursuing the development of green ammonia fuel cells which are a new and attractive alternative to hydrogen fuel cells. Following the latest international climate summit, branded COP26, many researchers have described hydrogen as the best source for generating renewable energy (https://ibn.fm/SRSx5) because when hydrogen burns, the only by-product is water. But hydrogen has traditionally been generated from fossil fuels, which only compounds the challenges of developing clean energy goals. Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was expected to attend the COP26 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference talks, which concluded Nov. 12, and appeared in the news prior to the summit as part of a wide-ranging interview in which he criticized some of the excuses policy advisers use for resisting transition to sustainable fuel sources. “They are liars, they are stupid. Or they don’t know how to do it, because we figured how to do it (in California),” Schwarzenegger told the BBC (https://ibn.fm/iFNDp). Schwarzenegger has built his own brand on performance fitness celebrity over the past several decades and, more recently, on environmental sustainability goals. He told the interviewer he was particularly alarmed at pollutants that result from shipping and suggested shopping locally is the most important thing individuals can do to cut carbon emissions. “Buy local products. Every time you buy something from overseas, that is evil for the environment — this is like the worst thing you can do. … You can have (international) competition but you have to be smart about it … because if people are dead, they are dead. It’s over.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FuelPositive.com.

• Multiple ongoing studies are researching the relationship between medical cannabis and cancer treatment
• The viability of clinical studies within the sector is hampered by lack of exact measurement of a patient’s intake
• RYAH Group intends to resolve this issue with the launch of it’s proprietary RYAH Smart Dry Herb Inhaler
• The company successfully delivered on its first Inhaler order in May 2021, and announced that they had received a follow-on order in November 2021

In 1980, The United States National Cancer Institute (“NCI”) began experimental distribution of a novel drug called Marinol, an oral form of THC (the primary active ingredient in cannabis), to cancer patients in San Francisco (https://ibn.fm/HE5vn). Just over a decade later, the city of San Francisco celebrated the passing of Proposition P in 1991, a revolutionary bill that legalized the use of medical cannabis within the city limits. There’s an abundance of evidence supporting the use of medical cannabis to treat cancer symptoms. Now, rather than just treating symptoms, science has begun to ask, “could cannabis be used to treat cancer itself”? A recognized leader in volume management technology for plant-based medicine, RYAH Group (CSE: RYAH) is in the middle of the action. RYAH develops innovative IoT products that capture powerful data insights and is on a mission to to transform patient care using big data and AI to reshape understanding and uses of plant-based medicines. The company’s robust artificial intelligence platform aggregates and correlates HIPAA-compliant patient data, which then helps doctors and patients personalize plant-based treatments to better predict treatment outcomes. Little wonder that RYAH devices and data are being used by a rapidly growing number of participants in plant-based clinical trials around the world. While clinical research into the relationship between medical cannabis consumption and cancer treatment is in the very early stages, initial studies have shown that THC and other cannabinoids bind to the endocannabinoid receptors on cancer cells, thereby interrupting the cell’s ability to signal. With limited intracellular signals, the studies have witnessed increased cancer cell apoptosis, reduced proliferation, migration, and metastasis (https://ibn.fm/rSirx). Two key constraints that have limited the viability of cannabis studies within an oncological setting are the highly variable nature of the cannabis plant and traditional methods of cannabis consumption that make patient intake challenging to measure. The RYAH Group intends to resolve this issue with the launch of their proprietary RYAH Smart Dry Herb Inhaler. The product is the first dry-herb inhaler that tracks and controls how much is inhaled, providing consistent and predictable results. The inhaler connects with the RYAH Health App, which features stat-tracking and presets for temperatures and measurements, all of which can be customized to individual needs and doctor recommendations. Moreover, the device also permits a post-session review mechanism that collects session data, an essential requirement for any clinical study. In June 2021, the RYAH Group announced that it had completed its first shipment of RYAH Smart Dry Herb Inhalers, which included delivery of approximately 10,000 RYAH Cartridges and QR codes, to an international clinic undertaking one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive clinical trials in plant-based medicine (https://ibn.fm/XkFrG). In early November, the company announced that it had received a separate, follow-on order for its proprietary Inhaler product from the same company (https://ibn.fm/gALMy). While it is far too early for patients to forego traditional oncological treatments in favor of standalone medical cannabis therapy, clinical trials worldwide seek to discern the relationship between medical cannabis consumption and cancer treatment. While the trials currently lie at a relatively nascent stage, RYAH Group and its diverse and proprietary volume control and management device portfolio are playing their part in what may, one day, turn out to be a genuinely revolutionary medical breakthrough.

• 1 in 8 adults are forecast to suffer from diabetes by 2024, with over 1 in 10 deaths in 2021 a direct result of the disease
• As many as 40% of Covid-19 related fatalities in the US also suffered from diabetes at the time of their passing
• Nemaura Medical is a medical technology company focused on developing non-invasive wearable diagnostic devices
• In addition to sugarBEAT, its flagship device, the company also recently announced the launch of MiBoKo, a combined application and non-invasive glucose sensor designed to help users track their metabolic scores

By 2024, the International Diabetes Federation (“IDF”) predicts that the number of people with diabetes is expected to rise to 1 in 8 adults. Nearly 7 million adults have died worldwide in 2021 so far due to diabetes or its related complications – astoundingly, accounting for over 1 in 10 global deaths from any cause. While enormous, that figure does not consider the lives lost to the novel coronavirus, which has shown to be particularly deadly for people with diabetes. A study found that having Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes tripled the risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 (https://ibn.fm/laj37). “As many as 40% of the people that have died in the US from COVID-19 had diabetes,” said Dr. Robert Gabbay, chief scientific and medical officer for the American Diabetes Association. Founded in 2011, Nemaura Medical (NASDAQ: NMRD),  a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing non-invasive wearable diagnostic devices and supporting personalized lifestyle coaching programs, set out to develop a single platform technology to measure blood markers at the surface of the skin. Since then, the company has evolved by creating wearable technologies and digital health care solutions that encourage and empower people to take charge of their health and well-being. The company’s flagship product, sugarBEAT(R), is a wearable, non-invasive and flexible Continuous Glucose Monitor (“CGM”) designed to help people with diabetes and prediabetes manage their glucose levels. The company has recently followed up with the release of the MiBoKo application. This service, which has been in development for the past 18 months, seeks to address a significant mass-market opportunity which the company believes could benefit roughly a third to half of the global population. The MiBoKo application uses a non-invasive glucose sensor to measure and monitor the user’s metabolic health scores, which are based on glucose tolerance or insulin resistance. Prediabetic patients, those facing obesity concerns, or individuals looking to monitor their glucose intake would all benefit from this application. A recent study carried out using anonymized health care data from a sample of over 16,000 people with both type 2 diabetes and COVID-19 found that people with type 2 diabetes who contracted Covid-19 were nearly 50% more likely to wind up in intensive care if they had mismanaged their blood sugar levels over the long-term, relative to those with better long-term glycaemic control (https://ibn.fm/8ySDC). With the COVID-19 virus rapidly gaining endemic status worldwide, diabetic and prediabetic patients are more at risk than ever before. By launching their unique and functional glucose monitoring devices, Nemaura Medical has sought to address this growing health risk, providing individuals afflicted with diabetes the world over with a more accessible, non-invasive method to monitor their health.
