VIDEO – Universal PropTech $UPI Has Generated $35,000,000+ In Revenues Over Past 3 Years – But Chief Growth Officer Carnevale Sets Up For Big Growth In 2021 $AAT.ca $LPS.ca $EGT.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:29 PM on Thursday, February 11th, 2021

As the name implies “PropTech” is a combination of two words and stands for “property technology.”  As simple as that is, the implementation and importance of PropTech is anything but, which is why many companies are trying to capitalize on the rapidly growing paradigm shift, while Universal PropTech (UPI:TSXV) is actually delivering healthy building solutions developers, owners and operators across Canada.

More than just lip service, UPI clients include

  • Federal Government facilities for over 40 years
  • Manulife
  • Brookfield
  • Billy Bishop Airport
  • University of Toronto
  • …. and many more

As a result, UPI has generated $35,000,000+ in revenue over the past 3 year – a number most small cap companies would be very happy with.  But newly appointed Chief Growth Officer, Frank Carnevale sees a much bigger opportunity by winning exclusive licenses and partnerships with providers of great products that can significantly grow company revenues. 

And that’s exactly what he has done.  In the month of FEBRUARY alone, UPI has announced:

 Agreement with LuminUltra Technologies to Provide SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Surface Testing

Channel Partnership with SensorSuite Inc. to Deliver AI Building Automation for MURBs and Non-BAS Customers

Exclusive Distributor Agreement for Eastern Canada for Canadian-Made Air Sanitization Solutions

How significant are these announcements and what do they mean to the Company’s growth?  

Watch our interview with CGO Carnevale to learn about these and where UPI is going.

TAAT’s $TAAT.ca $TOBAF Beyond Tobacco Cigarette Attempting to Become the Next Big CPG Re-Invention

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:09 PM on Thursday, February 11th, 2021
TAAT

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 11, 2021 / Imperium Group’s Shazir Mucklai had a chat with TAAT this past week.

In a world where re-invented consumer packaged goods (CPG) of perceived unhealthy or environmentally harmful products are all the rage, TAAT Lifestyle & Wellness (CNSX:TAAT)(OTCQB:TOBAF) is attempting to forge its own niche. By introducing a hemp-based substitute that mimics the experience of a traditional tobacco cigarette, the company is hoping steal market share from Big Tobacco, as well as grow sales organically.

TAAT cigarettes are formulated from a house blend of CBD-containing hemp called Beyond Tobacco™. Hemp is blended with patented ingredients and refined in such a way as to replicate the experience of a conventional tobacco cigarette-without the addictive effects of nicotine. Furthermore, some users report feeling a calming effect after using the product-potentially from the cannabidiol (CBD) content inherent to its hemp base.

Given the way re-invented products in ancillary CPG categories achieved strong consumer adoption, TAAT is seeking to replicate a similar pathway to viability. For example, tobacco’s sister industry vertical-Beer Distillers-have found success offering drinks which contain little or no alcohol.

Last year, The Conference Board of Canada’s Brewing up Benefits report stated that non-alcoholic beer accounts for 1.2% of total beer sales-increasing by more than 50% between 2013 and 2018. On a global scale, Statista report that in 2020, the global non-alcoholic beer market was valued at roughly USD$18 billion and is expected to grow at 7.5 percent CAGR (compound annual growth rate) by 2024, reaching a value of about USD$25 billion.

While non-alcoholic beer sales are just a sliver of beer brewer’s total revenues, if TAAT can replicate similar market penetration in the tobacco sector, a viable investment thesis may take root.

Draganfly $DFLY.ca $DFLYF and Windfall Geotek Advance Testing of Drone-Based #AI Solution for Landmine Detection $FLT.ca $UAVS $ALPP

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:47 AM on Thursday, February 11th, 2021
  • Announced that it has advanced field testing of the EagleEye™ land mine detection solution with Windfall Geotek (TSX-V: WIN) (OTCQB: WINKF).
  • Windfall Geotek is a mining services company and a leader in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced knowledge-extraction techniques since 2005 in the mining sector.
  • This test included joint research, AI development, and engineering support for the development of drones and sensor equipment.

Los Angeles, CA., Feb. 11, 2021 — Draganfly Inc. (OTCQB: DFLYF) (CSE: DFLY) (FSE: 3U8) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), an award-winning, industry-leading drone solutions and systems developer, today announced that it has advanced field testing of the EagleEye™ land mine detection solution with Windfall Geotek (TSX-V: WIN) (OTCQB: WINKF).

Windfall Geotek is a mining services company and a leader in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced knowledge-extraction techniques since 2005 in the mining sector. This test included joint research, AI development, and engineering support for the development of drones and sensor equipment.

Every day approximately 10 people around the world lose their lives or are maimed due to an anti-personnel mine (” APM “). This means that about 4,200 people are hurt or killed worldwide every year of which 35-42% are estimated to be children. It is estimated that there are between 60-110 million landmines in the ground right now and an equal amount is in stockpiles waiting to be planted or destroyed. Approximately 82 countries around the world are contaminated by APMs. Source: United Nations, Office for Disarmament Affairs .

An estimated US$540,000,000 was spent by industry and government in 2018 to deal with this problem of Landmines and Explosive Remnants of war (identify multiple APM and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in a variety of terrain and contexts). Source: Landmine Monitor Report 2019 .

“Since 2020, Draganfly has invested in new capabilities in drone-based magnetometer technology and other remote sensing equipment,” commented Dinesh Kandanchatha, Chairman of Windfall Geotek. “The depth of the Draganfly engineering team, drone services group, and expert advisory in public safety was instrumental to get us to these first tests.”

“Windfall Geotek is the industry leader in AI-based digital exploration for mining. We now have the right mixture of equipment and data to move to the commercialization of an advanced AI-based platform to help solve the global problem of landmines,” said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly. “The two companies share a mission of saving lives through technology. These tests are critical to helping create a new solution to this age-old problem. The new and expanded revenue streams for both companies in the Defense sector, Public Safety, and other markets are significant and represent an area where combined offering can excel.”

“For years our foundation has support organizations removing land mines, this type of technology and innovation by Draganfly and Windfall is exactly what is needed to solve this global challenge on a massive scale,” said Admiral Hayward, former head of the US Navy and member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
