Company joins collaboration with industry leaders to help define recommendations for verification of health status to safely restore international travel and restart the global economy.
A project of ID2020, the Good Health Pass Collaborative is an open, inclusive, cross-sector initiative formed to create a blueprint for interoperable digital health pass systems that offer a path to restoring global travel and restarting the global economy.
TORONTO, ON / April 1, 2021 / Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID)(OTC PINK:TRWRF)(FRA:4T51) a global blockchain, digital identity and fintech solutions company and a steering committee member of the Trust Over IP Foundation (ToIP), an independent project for building global digital trust infrastructure hosted by the Linux Foundation, as well as founding member of the Lumedic Exchange, is pleased to announce that it has joined the Good Health Pass Collaborative. A project of ID2020, the Good Health Pass Collaborative is an open, inclusive, cross-sector initiative formed to create a blueprint for interoperable digital health pass systems that offer a path to restoring global travel and restarting the global economy.
In the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic, governments have limited most individual’s ability to work, travel and engage in previously normal everyday activities. As vaccines become more pervasive, and people begin the process of returning to public life, individuals are in need of a way to safely and privately prove that they have tested negative and/or have been vaccinated against the virus.
The Good Health Pass standards will enable airlines, airports, hospitality industries, international customs officials, and others to process visitors easily without requiring additional unnecessary steps mandated by proprietary systems. With uniform standards for travel in place, travelers won’t be confused about which credential they need for each venue and they’ll be in full control of their own personal data. This will give them peace of mind, knowing that access to their private health information is protected and they are able to travel more freely.
“We’re excited to join other industry leaders to provide a highly trusted verifiable credential that will support the global recovery,” said RJ Reiser, Chief Business Development Officer – Liquid Avatar. “By leveraging existing Open Standards, we can support user privacy concerns and empower them with the ability to share what they want, when they want and with whom they want.”
Liquid Avatar has joined the Good Health Pass Collaborative and other organizations so that the Company remains at the forefront of the development of technology and institutional initiatives that will provide our users with the ability to manage, control and benefit from having verifiable credentials that support digital identity programs.
Liquid Avatar is well underway with its building of its verifiable credentials ecosystem that will support this initiative and others by providing users with the ability to store and manage their online credentials and digital identity products.

The Good Health Pass Collaborative is an open, inclusive, cross-sector initiative to create a blueprint for interoperable digital health pass systems that will help restore global travel and restart the global economy.

Data Clymer has significant experience in live sports and entertainment, including clients in Major League Baseball and the National Football League that are now demanding more flexibility with their data and analytics systems.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia., March 31, 2021 — (MTRX:TSXV; RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”), is pleased to announce the Company has partnered with Data Clymer to provide Loop’s real-time data collection, insights and engagement solutions to Data Clymer’s growing list of clients, including its leading clients in professional sports and live entertainment.
PARTNERSHIP WITH DATA CLYMER SOLVES MAJOR REAL-TIME DATA ANALYTICS ISSUES FOR PRO SPORTS TEAMS, LEAGUES, STADIUMS, AND VENUE HOSTS BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO LOOP INSIGHTS SOLUTIONS
Data Clymer has significant experience in live sports and entertainment, including clients in Major League Baseball and the National Football League that are now demanding more flexibility with their data and analytics systems. Specifically, current “black-box” customer data platforms are creating bottlenecks for organizations, leading to a poor customer experience including:
Information stuck in data silos
Slow “time-to-insights”
When integrated with Data Clymer’s existing technologies, Loop Insights will provide its solution for professional sports teams, leagues, stadiums, and venue operators seeking to aggregate and action the countless data points generated by today’s live sports and entertainment venues.
Aron Clymer, Founder & CEO of Data Clymer stated, “As a leader in the business intelligence and data space, Data Clymer prides itself in guiding organizations to leverage the full value of their data. We are confident Loop’s products and services will greatly enhance the abilities of our clients in live sports and entertainment as they seek to unify and aggregate their data points to provide a revolutionary in-stadium experience.”
Data Clymer is a full-service data consulting firm that implements technologies such as Snowflake, Matillion, Fivetran, Looker, Sigma, and Tableau, and now includes Loop’s real-time data collection, insights, and engagement solutions.
Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated, “The importance and validation of this partnership can best be understood by a recent testimonial of the San Francisco Giants who stated ‘Our partnership with Data Clymer is the single best decision we made in our efforts to ramp up our analytics efforts’. This key partnership puts Loop alongside a very elite list of Data Clymer partners that includes top tech solution providers such as Snowflake, Looker, Tableau and many others. Loop’s ability to provide real-time interoperable POS data connectivity for venue owners and operators has brought a great deal of interest within the sports and entertainment industry as of late. With this Data Clymer partnership, we anticipate Loop will benefit from and experience an entirely new level of growth in revenue and scale within the sports and entertainment vertical.”
DATA CLYMER PARTNERSHIP WILL BOLSTER OFFERINGS IN USD$4.6-BILLION GLOBAL SMART STADIUM MARKET
According to Markets and Markets, the global smart stadium market grew to USD$4.6-billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD$12.5-billion by 2023, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.1%. Loop’s data solutions provide venue hosts with a means of aggregating the most important customer information available in order to generate actionable insights, engage with their customers in real-time, and optimize its operations.
The growth of the smart stadium market has been driven by the advancements in stadium technologies, which have improved vastly to provide owners with countless data points, including information accrued from tickets, concession sales, retail transactions, parking, accommodations, and more services offered in association with live events.
Through Loop’s data solutions, venues are able to aggregate these siloed and disparate data sets into one complete dashboard, providing hosts with actionable insights that can be used to engage in real-time with their customers to improve the overall fan experience.

$2,000,000 Acquisition of Passcreator to Provide Loop with Complete Control Over Its Wallet Pass Technology in Anticipation of Upcoming Major Business Developments
The Passcreator mobile wallet pass is built on Android and iOS Wallet pass technology. By acquiring Passcreator, Loop will vertically integrate its Wallet pass capabilities, as well as, gain access to Passcreator’s clients such as BMW and Mercedes Benz.
With this acquisition, Loop is taking its technology stack to the next level by both incorporating the Passcreator team and taking full control of its Wallet pass technology in anticipation of Loop’s next stage of significantly larger business developments.

With the first quarter of 2021 now complete, with some major pilot tests announced and a major pipeline shaping up, we have good reason to believe in the potential for significant developments in the UK, Europe, and globally. As such, our Passcreator acquisition is perfect in terms of both timing and fit with Loop’s technology to close on upcoming major developments. Moreover, I expect Passcreator itself to contribute significant revenue to Loop in 2021 and well beyond.”
Passcreator CEO, Mario C.G. Juhnke stated “We believe that the merging of two very proven technology companies will greatly accelerate further development and synergistic growth. Furthermore, the bridging of the markets of both Loop and Passcreator will serve to improve market resiliency and bolster confidence in the future.”
