As detailed in the news release, Project Radius, located in southern Ontario, is a late-development-stage portfolio of three high-quality, on-farm RNG projects, collectively capable of producing roughly 1.7 million GJ/year of RNG that will contribute to the reduction of emissions from agricultural operations in southern Ontario. Each of the three projects is expected to produce approximately 550,000 GJ/year and will be constructed throughout 2023 and 2024.

“The acquisition of Project Radius provides a foothold in Ontario - a new and strategic jurisdiction in which EverGen can continue to participate in the consolidation and growth of the RNG industry in the near-term, as well as benefit from project economics in line with or exceeding those we have seen with our initial projects,” Chase Edgelow, CEO of EverGen, stated in the news release. “Working alongside Northeast to advance the projects, EverGen will deliver on our platform expansion commitments with the potential to exceed 1,000,000 GJ of RNG production annually. Ontario has an abundant amount of excess organic feedstock, and as a leader in the RNG industry, EverGen can develop the sustainable infrastructure that contributes to carbon-negative energy production and the greening of the province.”

Seems like yesterday people were smoking cigarettes everywhere; many people still have memories of Grandpa puffing on his Camels. It wasn’t until 1993 that smoking was banned in hospitals and on airplanes in 1998. Despite these and many other restrictions, the global market for nicotine-based products remains incredibly robust. Total global retail sales associated with the nicotine ecosystem during 2020 reached approximately $853 billion with around 5.2 trillion retail cigarette sticks sold. Nicotine isn’t just big business, it’s huge business, and companies are constantly looking for ways to keep and grow market share.

The majors are evermore turning to innovation and alternative delivery methods to achieve their objectives. An example of that is the breakthrough technology of Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) (Profile) and its patented DehydraTECH(TM) delivery platform. Suitable for use across a wide range of product formats such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and over-the-counter products, Lexaria’s DehydraTECH also increases the delivery characteristics of orally administered nicotine.

It’s generally accepted that the phrase “Internet of Things” was coined in 1999 during a presentation for Procter & Gamble. Actually, the concept was already in use more than 15 years earlier when programmers at Carnegie Mellon University connected a Coke machine to the internet so they could see if there were any cold Cokes available before walking to the machine to buy one. After four decades, the Internet of Things (“IoT”) has become ubiquitous, making its way into essentially every facet of day-to-day life and consumer demand for IoT products has become insatiable. That demand has proved a boon for innovative companies such as SPYR Inc. (OTCQB: SPYR) (Profile) as well as famous FAANG companies: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) (formerly known as Facebook).

Every gambler is on the lookout for a lock, but as every gambler knows, the only sure way to double your money is to fold it over and tuck it in your pocket. Humanity’s penchant for gambling traces back to state-run lottos in 200 BC China to the first U.S. online lotto in 1994 and now proliferates across the globe on PCs and mobile devices. Transacted through internet platforms, online gaming (or internet gambling) offers inventive games of chance as well as virtual poker and sports betting. The online gaming market is booming, eclipsing $70 billion last year, and all manner of casinos and upstart platforms are scrambling for a piece of the action. As lucrative as this all sounds there’s an Achilles heel for these platforms: customer acquisition cost vs. customer lifetime value. In the United States, the customer acquisition cost for an online casino player is more than $500,  and some estimate player value at $300 or less. The math simply doesn’t work, and some online casino operators have come to realize that traditional advertising for sports betting and iGaming products presents an irrational cost of customer acquisition. With the online gaming market expected to explode to more than $130 billion in the next five years, there may be a smarter way to cash in on the action. Much like the merchants that made millions during the gold boom while prospectors panned for dreams, providing B2B services such as online gaming platforms, systems and gaming content has proved to be a winning business model. Coming off its 14th consecutive quarter of profitability, Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI) (Profile) continues to carve out enviable market share by delivering state-of-the-art configurable and scalable white-label B2B gaming platforms for its customers across the globe. Golden Matrix’s gaming IP includes sophisticated tools for marketing, acquisition, retention and monetization of users — exactly what iGaming operators need. With more than 580 unique casino operations, 30-plus partnerships, 6 million-plus end users and 3,161 original games, Golden Matrix has established itself as one of the world’s leading providers of turnkey and white-label gaming platforms, Esports technology and gaming content, and the company has even bigger plans for market dominion. All the major casino operators, including Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR), Penn National Gaming Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN), MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) and Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) are trying to entice users to download their apps as they fight for a piece of the online action and struggle with customer acquisition costs.

The Internet of Things (“IoT”) is easily one of the most powerful emerging technologies in the world today. As the IoT market for smart homes and connected cars (smart cars) continues on its path of parabolic growth, it’s clear that IoT presents historic opportunities. Today’s homes are increasingly connected, creating an enormous new smart-home market, and the smart-car market segment has become a nearly ubiquitous strategic development path for the auto industry as demand for constant connectivity soars. With functionality and convenience, SPYR Inc. (OTCQB: SPYR) (Profile) is delivering to consumers what they crave — smart hardware, software solutions and products that integrate with the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) ecosystem. Apple commands the largest share in the mobile devices market and will likely be dominant as the IoT market expands and consumers demand more privacy protection. Other tech juggernauts such as Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) (formerly Facebook) are also working on next-generation devices and control centers for fully connected cars and homes.

The Internet of Things (“IoT”) has evolved over the last couple decades, weaving its way into daily life by providing increased utility and functionality for everyday items. Broadly speaking, IoT refers to the overarching technology that connects physical items (e.g., refrigerators, door locks, HVAC) to the internet so they can be controlled from a mobile or desktop app to provide real-time controls and data analysis. Delivering convenience and savings, many of these interconnected devices have become readily available and affordable with an estimated 46 billion connected devices in the world today. That may sound like a lot, but the nascent market is quickly expanding, creating plenty of opportunity for innovative companies such as SPYR Inc. (OTCQB: SPYR) (Profile) to capture market share by leveraging the platforms of tech giants such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC), which will all continue to benefit from an interconnected global economy booming with connected devices.

Neural plasticity is instrumental in brain health, and the importance of neuroplasticity can’t be overstated. Indeed, the inability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to stimuli often produces stress-induced neuroplasticity, which plays a critical role in almost all mental disorders. The problem is conventional drugs have done little to correct damage in this response, resulting in mental health disorders that now affect nearly one in every eight people on the planet. Amazingly, research with psychedelic therapeutics has shown great promise, inspiring hope in treating a broad range of mental health disorders. With the urgent need for new, more effective treatments to treat a wide spectrum of disorders, Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) (Profile) is pioneering groundbreaking research and striking important partnerships to unleash the power of these psychedelic-based compounds. Cybin has a differentiated method of progressing psychedelics into therapeutics than others in the sector, such as COMPASS Pathways Plc (NASDAQ: CMPS), Mind Medicine Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD) (NEO: MMED), ATAI Life Sciences N.V. (NASDAQ: ATAI) and GH Research PLC (NASDAQ: GHRS), which are also intent on offering effective solutions. Cybin is looking to lead the psychedelic renaissance that could for the first time deliver treatments to address the root of mental maladies rather than just mask the symptoms with conventional drugs.

Once only a concept seen in movies, the world of autonomous driving is fast becoming a bona fide reality. Until now, only a few autonomous features have been available and limited to high-end vehicles, but the day of mass adoption and ubiquity is near. As one can imagine, the highest importance is on safety. Companies are taking different approaches to achieve that, with engineers busily fusing software, connectivity and operations to produce vehicles that can safely maneuver everything from traffic jams and pedestrians to freeways and dirt roads. If you ask Cepton Inc. (NASDAQ: CPTN) (Profile), the road to safe and effective self-driving cars goes through lidar (short for light detection and ranging), and judging by the response to Cepton recently becoming public on the Nasdaq, Wall Street agrees. Cepton, which develops and manufactures cutting-edge lidar products, is working with major automakers such as General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) to bring autonomous driving to everyone. In fact, Cepton has already secured the largest series production award in the lidar industry to support GM’s Ultra Cruise program. Others in the sector are also focusing on the space, as companies such as Luminar Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: LAZR) look to enhance their presence, while Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), the world’s most well-known electric car brand, has bucked the lidar trend altogether with a camera-only approach for its autonomous driving technology.

Last year was a monumental year for merger and acquisition activity. Records worldwide weren’t just broken, they were smashed by M&A activity reaching a stunning $5.9 trillion, up 64% from 2020 while representing the highest volume since 1980. More than 63,000 M&A transactions were completed as companies found new avenues to growth against the backdrop of a lingering COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation and disrupted supply chains. The sharpest increase in deal flow came from the United States. which experienced an 82% surge. Companies from all different sectors and industries joined forces to position for continued future success, including diversified CPG wellness company Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) (Profile), which recently made a significant acquisition to fuel expansion into the U.S. market. Constant consolidation is rampant involving a wide variety of well-known names, including Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI), NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE).
