betterU $BTRU.ca Makes Significant Advances During 2020 $ARCL $CPLA $BPI $FC.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:07 AM on Thursday, December 31st, 2020

OTTAWA, ON /  December 31, 2020 / betterU Education Corp. (TSXV:BTRU)(FSE:5OGA) (the “Company” or “betterU”) is pleased to provide an update on the development of the Company and the advances made over this last year. The following is a summary of the updates and agreements closed with individual press releases to follow in the new year.

Announced early 2020, betterU launched their beta version of their Enterprise SaaS Skills Development Platform called ‘Ready-To-Go’. While the Company was also impacted by the pandemic and many deals slowed in their development, betterU continued to push forward with Ready-To-Go and the beta clients with great success. The Company has advanced the platform from approximately 300 hosted courses in early 2020 to now over 3,700 courses across 200 categories. Combined with 800+ job role and 1,000+ subject based assessments, operating through a robust Learning Management System, betterU’s Ready-To-Go platform has gained a lot of interest around the world as the easiest all-in-one corporate solution for skills development and helping support job readiness.

While betterU’s beta program took a little longer to advance due to the slowdown in the market, the feedback from their clients provided valuable insight into finalizing a scalable, flexible, customizable, adaptable, multilingual solution that supports not only companies and governments, but also students, employees, underemployed and unemployed.

“I am so proud of the dedication and hard work of our team, board, advisors and partners that have worked closely with myself and betterU over this year to accomplish all that we have considering the circumstances. While there is still much work to do ahead of us, we now have proven solutions to achieve great results in 2021.” said Brad Loiselle, CEO betterU

In addition to the business update, the filing of the audited financial statements, MD&A and other related materials have been completed by the Company and DNTW and are in process to being made available on SEDAR. The delay in completion of the Audit was primary due to lack of responses from third-party confirmations with no material changes over last years audit. betterU is also currently working with their corporate legal team, Denton LLP and the Company’s Board of Directors to finalize the set-up of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) as well as working to ensure all disclosures are properly filed with TSXV and regulatory bodies to support trade resumption. The timelines and process are unknown at this time and the Company will provide updates after receiving notification from TSXV.

The following are the advancements that company has been making over 2020:

  • Unicaf and betterU execute strategic partnership and reseller agreement with plans to support thousands of students across Africa. Unicaf offers one of the most generous scholarship programmes available today having awarded so far over $100 million to more than 30,000 eligible applicants in 156 countries around the world. Full details of the partnership will be announced in January 2021.
  • NRCM and betterU execute strategic partnership and reseller agreement to support both business and the mass market of Morocco. NCRM, a subsidiary of MEDTECH Group, and 25 years focused on the technology industries include Banking, Retail and Governmental Operators. betterU and NRCM have already completely joint proposals for several government contracts and currently working on more. Full details of the partnership will be announced in January 2021.
  • Fuel Online and betterU execute strategic partnership and reseller agreement to support corporate skills development programs across 18 African countries. Fuel Online currently provides vocational training to over 200,000 people per week and the addition of betterU’s skills programs and platform will provide the next level of skills development programs. betterU will also be adding Fuel Online’s programs to their offering. Full details of the partnership will be announced in January 2021.
  • Paramount Staffing (USA) notified betterU on October 29th that they were selected as the only partner for skills development, with plans to develop a long-term partnership. In early 2020, Paramount Staffing, a $200+ Million people company and subsidiary of Proman, a $3 Billion staffing company headquartered in France, became one of betterU’s first beta customers for Ready-To-Go. Over the year, even during the constraints of the pandemic, betterU delivered top quality content, support and services. Paramount had been working with multiple learning providers that were inherited through their acquisitions over the years and decided after an extensive review that betterU was their partner of choice. Hear from their VP of Sales in this Video Testimonial. Full details of the opportunity will be announced in January 2021 as betterU and Paramount work to develop their combined 3-5 year plans.
  • betterU launched Skills Council of Canada (SSC) https://skillscouncil.ca/ to support a developing initiative to help upwards of 5,000 students across Canada to gain work experience and essential skills to be job ready. betterU’s brand SSC, will provide Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and skills development programs through betterU’s WIL+Skills platform with a core focus on Indigenous people and more vulnerable communities across Canada. betterU started their marketing and outreach campaigns October 2020 after receiving written approval from our collaborative partners. Outreach included connecting with Canadian educators, corporates, government, and Indigenous leaders, now with multiple partnership underway. Full details of this opportunity and associated partners will be announced in January 2021.
  • betterU’s beta skills program successful with Canada’s Positive Venture Group (PVG). betterU had curated multiple programs to be added to PVG’s branded platform which included over 200 learning paths focused on financial related jobs. PVG launched the first batch of courses for all employees which resulted with high reviews and success. Full details of the partnership growth will be announced in January 2021.
  • betterU launches their beta Reseller / Franchisee (Partners) program to support e-learning leaders looking to add Ready-To-Go to their own services or launch their own branded skills development platform, “powered by betterU”. The Partners model would enable those who already have a network of corporate partners or clients with the opportunity to support them in providing access to betterU’s thousands of courses, assessments, and a fully managed betterU service. betterU’s all-in-one skills platform has been developed to support scalability with a function that operates similar to a franchise. In order to grow betterU’s global reach, and network of sales partners, while ensuring betterU maintains control over the network, the Partners model is being tested. betterU is currently negotiating with possible Partners and full details of the partnership structure will be announced earlier 2021.
  • betterU established 100% owned operating entity, betterU Europe Ltd (“BEL”) in Dublin Ireland to help support developing opportunities for betterU across Africa and Europe.
  • betterU’s Corporate website is currently being updated with company advancements, programs, products and services. https://corporate.betteru.ca

betterU has many more growing opportunities in the pipeline including three completed RFPS for opportunities in the USA, Africa and Morocco. betterU has already been short listed for two of the RFPs and if successful will be announced. In addition, the Company has also received requests for additional strategic partnerships and resellers opportunities for organizations in Thailand, UAE and the USA.

The company has plans to increase their IR team to support more frequent public disclosures and business updates. Over this last year, betterU remained solely focused on the business to ensure the product pivot announced late 2019 was accomplishing the growth and validating the opportunity we expected would come.

“We were very pleased with the results achieved over this last year, despite the global challenges faced by many. Many companies local and abroad have been forced to close their doors, make pivots themselves to also overcome the challenges of this pandemic. betterU doubled down on our efforts to push forward for our shareholders and our vision. We thank all the people that have stayed supportive and we appreciate your patience. We are expecting great results and growth in 2021. Stay tuned!” said Brad Loiselle, CEO of betterU.

“When we look back at 2020 this time next year … what we’ve done is very little in my opinion to date.”

WAIT …… WHAT?
Whereas most companies would dream of Loop’s 2020 if it happened to them over 5 years, Anson is telling investors that 2020 was just a set up year.
“This year (2021) will see major major growth and expansion …. We’re about to reap the rewards from all the groundwork and that is exciting to me … This will be our biggest year by a country mile”

KWESST $KWE.ca Announces Additional U.S. Patent Allowance for Phantom Electronic Decoy $WRTC $BYRN.ca $PAT.ca $POWW

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:58 AM on Wednesday, December 30th, 2020

KWESST Micro Systems Inc. (TSXV: KWE) (“KWESST” or “the Company”) announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) has issued a Notice of Allowance for a second patent covering KWESST’s “Phantom” electronic decoy system.

KWESST previously announced on October 5th, 2020 the allowance of a first patent covering fifteen claims for a programmable multi-waveform radiofrequency generator capable of broadcasting and emulating all relevant military waveforms to create electronic battlefield decoys that deceive adversaries regarding the location of NATO friendly forces.

The second patent allowance announced today covers eleven additional claims for a programmable multi-waveform radio frequency generator plus associated tactics, techniques and procedures (“TTPs”) for deploying the PhantomTM system.

“This second patent allowance with its set of additional claims substantially enlarges the intellectual property portfolio of the PhantomTM electronic decoy technology,” said Jeff MacLeod, Founder, President and CEO of KWESST.

PhantomTM is the electronic decoy KWESST is bringing to market in 2021 in response to specific military interest in a next-generation system that is ultra-miniaturized for expedient deployment in theaters of operation by ground personnel or on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (“UAVs”). Phantom mimics all relevant NATO military electronic signal emissions in order to deceive adversaries attempting to locate them based on those waveforms.

Requirements for such a “phantom” capability are now appearing in NATO solicitations for future land Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, driven by contemporary experience in contested areas where forces have been located and destroyed at scale. One publicly reported example is the 2016 incident where two full Ukrainian mechanized battalions were annihilated by Russian adversaries in three minutes with precision mass fire after locating them based on their electronic signal emissions.

The Company commented that it believes the addressable market for the PhantomTM electronic decoy could be $500 million CAD in the U.S. alone, and potentially the same again for other NATO countries and their allies.

About KWESST

KWESST develops and commercializes high-value ultra-miniaturized technology applications that make a critical difference to the safety and operational effectiveness of personnel in the defence and security industries. The company’s current portfolio of unique proprietary offerings include: its signature TASCS (Tactical Awareness Situational Control System) for real-time awareness and targeting information from any source (including drones) streamed directly to users’ smart devices and weapons; the autonomous GreyGhostTM soldier-portable micro drone missile system that defends against small hostile drones including swarms using high-speed kinetic impact; a Ground Laser Defence system to counter the emerging threat of weaponized lasers against personnel; and, the PhantomTM electronic battlefield decoy system to mask the electromagnetic signature of friendly forces with decoy signatures at false locations to deceive and confuse adversaries. All systems can operate stand-alone or integrate seamlessly with OEM products and battlefield management systems including Frontline, Edge, Killswitch and ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit) among others. KWESST also has developmental “smart ordnance” projects including its “Shot Counter” system, which records the number and type of rounds fired, for optimized firearms maintenance and performance. The Company is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, with representative offices in Washington, DC, London, UK and Abu Dhabi, UAE. KWESST trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol KWE.

https://i.ibb.co/ZdKv64V/Red-Light-Holland-Square.jpg

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 30, 2020) – Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC: TRUFF) (“Red Light Holland” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire 100% of Mera Life Sciences LLC (“Mera“), a company focused on developing a modern medicinal industry in St Vincent and the Grenadines, with their issued Psychedelic Licenses, which includes the following plants and compounds (the “Compounds”): (i) Mushrooms/Truffles – Psilocybin; (ii) Ketamine; (iii) Ayahuasca; (iv) 3,4-Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine (MDMA); (v) 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MEO-DMT); (vi) Dimethyltryptamine (DMT); (vii) Sassafras; (viii) Ibogaine; (ix) Peyote (x) Papaya; (xi) Aloe Vera; (xii) Arrowroot; (xiii) Soursop; (xiv) Ginger; (xv) Moringa; and (xvi) Coconut Oil.

“The acquisition of Mera and its coveted licenses would allow Red Light Holland to perform high quality psychedelic product research and development, cultivate, extract and process, and export not just Psilocybin, but with compounds such as Ayahuasca, MDMA, DMT, Peyote, Ketamine and many other natural based plants as well. We are The People’s Company and we want to work closely with countries wishing to develop plant and fungus-based remedies – including treatment clinics, and we now understand that St. Vincent and the Grenadines shares our vision.” said Todd Shapiro, CEO and Director of Red Light Holland.

As well, the terms of the agreement will permit Red Light Holland to collaborate with Vincentian entities to import any of the above Compounds.

“The opportunity to explore the inner molecular worlds of multiple plant species, including a variety of psychedelics, is an exciting one. This could put Red Light Holland in the position to discover novel clinical applications for a variety of natural psychedelics. By utilizing a lab built for this purpose on the (main) island, along with cutting edge artificial intelligence, something I’m very familiar with, Red Light Holland would be approaching the frontier of natural plant based drug discovery,” said Dr. Joseph Geraci, Scientific Advisor of Red Light Holland and CEO of NetraMark Corp.

“Red Light Holland is focused on establishing itself as a multi country operator with natural plants and natural fungi, from growing to distribution of legal sales to potential clinics. We look forward to the careful due diligence process and hopefully adding Mera and their ground-breaking licenses in SVG, which would instantly strengthen our Scientific and Innovation Division, Scarlette Lillie by expanding our vision for research and development and for providing access to natural psychedelics on all fronts,” added Shapiro.

“The emerging modern plant-based medicinal research industry in the Caribbean is the future, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines is leading on this path” The island’s Minister of Agriculture, Hon. Saboto Caesar pointed out. “St. Vincent and the Grenadines has been able to attract experts interested in exploring the medicinal value of indigenous plants, cannabis and other plants that may thrive in tropical conditions and possess medicinal properties.” re-expressed from News 784.

Further details will be announced once made available.

Gratomic $GRAT.ca Announces Completion of Civil Construction Work and Begins Final Equipment Assembly $NGC.ca $LLG.ca $GPH.ca $NOU.ca $NMI.ca #TODAQ

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:34 AM on Wednesday, December 30th, 2020

Gratomic Inc. (“GRAT” or the “Company”) (TSXV:GRAT)(FRANKFURT:CB82)(WKN:A143MR)(OTCQB:CBULF) is pleased to announce completion of civil construction work and final equipment assembly on its Aukam Processing Plant in Namibia. The Gratomic team has made an extreme effort to maintain the activities at the Aukam site, while ensuring that every precautionary measure has been taken to prevent the likelihood of a COVID-19 infection on the premises.

Gratomic has engaged the services of 12 additional temporary workers, through the local community of Aus, to relieve the Company’s Aukam workers and to allow them time-off during the Holiday Season. This is one of the many additional steps that the team has undertaken to ensure that time constraints are met according to the strict construction timeline.

Final equipment assembly has started on metal structures and support frames, manufactured locally by Pro-Edge Steel. Each piece of equipment is being assembled over its custom designed structure.

Simultaneously, the onsite team is setting up water, slurry, hydraulic, and electrical installation in preparation of the commissioning phase that comes thereafter.

Karl Trudeau will travel to the Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia in Mid-January to oversee final equipment assembly and commissioning in person.

Andre Bennet has been appointed as Mechanic and maintenance Supervisor for the Aukam Graphite Project.

“I would like to thank the Gratomic workforce in Aukam for their extreme dedication and hard work, which made possible this great achievement, and I am sure that they will continue to be the backbone of our Company for the next steps to come,” said Armando Farhate, COO & Head of Graphite Marketing and Sales.

“Gratomic continues to excel against all odds in this new exciting phase that brings our Aukam Processing Plant even closer to commissioning. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the progress the team is making and with their ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances. It is amazing to see how the team has come together to bring this eight-year-old vision to life.” commented Arno Brand, President & CEO at Gratomic Inc.

About Gratomic Inc.
Established in 2014, Gratomic is an advanced materials company focused on low-cost mine to market commercialization of carbon-neutral, Eco-friendly, high purity vein graphite and is set to become a key player in EV and Renewable Resource supply chains. Gratomic Inc. is a leader among peers, anticipating full operational capabilities in early 2021 and aiming to transition to an open pit operation by Q4 of 2021.

Gratomic is in the process of solidifying its development plans for micronization and spheronization of its clean Aukam graphite. This significant milestone is a small, additional step in the Company’s existing Eco-friendly processing cycle and will allow its naturally high purity graphite to meet ideal North American battery grade standards for use in Li-ion battery anodes.

The Company promises to deliver mine-to-market traceability and guaranteed quality control. This will be accomplished by providing documented tracking on all graphite generated at its flagship Aukam Graphite Project. The tracking will begin at Aukam and will be verified at every stage during transport.

Two off-take purchase agreements are currently held for lump-vein graphite sourced from Gratomic’s Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia, Africa. Fulfillment of the contracts is slated to begin in 2021. The agreements exist with TODAQ and Phu Sumika.

TODAQ is an innovative tech company and will partner with Gratomic on its mine-to-market commodity tracking.

Phu Sumika is a large global graphite supplier to battery and lubrication companies.

Gratomic Inc. is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol GRAT.

Datametrex AI $DM.ca $DTMXF Announces Deploying NexaSecurity and NexaSMART in German $PFM.ca $VQS.ca $SPOT.ca $ADK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:28 AM on Wednesday, December 30th, 2020

Datametrex AI Limited (TSXV: DM) (FSE: D4G) (OTC Pink: DTMXF) (the “Company” or “Datametrex“) is pleased to announce the release of German language capabilities for both NexaSecurity and NexaSMART- Social Media Automated Reporting Technology. This is a major milestone for Nexalogy’s technology, as it is now working in the top four native languages in Europe: English, French, German, and Russian.

“This latest development opens up almost all of Europe and the German-speaking market, which is the world’s fourth largest economy by GDP and has a huge need for artificial intelligence-based tools to counter social media-based disinformation campaigns,” said Marshall Gunter, CEO of Datametrex.

“As mentioned in our investor webinar, market expansion plans for international markets are being realized by investing income from our COVID19-test-kit sales into the development of our core technology, artificial intelligence-based analytics.”

“Since the so called Querdenker movement was founded, national state actors are aware of disinformation campaigns throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. This movement and other actors will likely play a critical role within the five state elections and the election for the German parliament in 2021.”

“Building on Nexalogy’s previous disinformation work with the Canadian and US governments and NATO, we feel Nexalogy’s technologies could be great help to the German election and democracy protection efforts in 2021,” said Marshall Gunter, CEO of Datametrex.
