AR/VR and AI Tech in Education Creating Unique Opportunities for Early Investors

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: How and what students learn is always changing, but the landscape has become particularly frantic lately with ubiquitous digital technologies. Digital technologies have changed nearly everything, including the student-school-teacher paradigm from kindergarten to higher education to how and who companies hire. The COVID-19 pandemic, a growing choir of voices calling for educational equality, outlandish tuition costs and even so-called “wokeness” have people and companies rethinking educational dynamics. In the thick of it is the burgeoning educational technology (edtech) industry, which is growing rapidly to meet evolving demand from today’s generation of digitally native learners, as evidenced by…

Companies Jockeying for Position in $106 Billion EdTech Market; Who’s in Front?

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Last year changed the world in unexpected ways, as people and businesses looked to keep moving forward in the face of a global coronavirus pandemic. In many instances, COVID-19 simply accelerated the inevitable, such as trends towards digitization while lockdown orders were in place. Perhaps the most significant example was in education, where students from grade school to college went 100% virtual for the first time in history. Education technology, or edtech, is a hot trend that, even as the pandemic wanes, isn’t showing any signs of slowing among today’s generation of digitally native learners, as evidenced…

Who Won in the COVID-19 Lockdowns? Beverage Makers

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The downside of the coronavirus pandemic and how crippling it was to certain industries has been well documented, but it should not be overlooked that some companies benefited from lockdowns and a focus on healthier habits. Beverage makers, particularly those emphasizing health and alternatives to carbonated sodas, saw a spike in sales as consumers stocked up bottled water, sports drinks and more. Higher demand created an exceptionally attractive market climate and rising revenue for The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER)(CSE: WTER) (Profile), the U.S.’s largest independent alkaline water company, and its Alkaline88(R) brand. Bigger peers lent further…

NFTs, Bitcoin Building Portfolios in Emerging Markets

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Bitcoin and non-fungible tokens ("NFTs") stocks are moving mostly in lockstep, not because the two are the same, but because they are new technologies and emerging markets that speak loudly to the digital revolution. In fact, outside sharing blockchain technology as the decentralized digital ledger storing data for security and authentication, bitcoin and NFT are quite distinct. By definition, NFTs are not interchangeable with other tokens (hence the term “non-fungible”), whereas a Bitcoin can be equally traded for any other Bitcoin without distinction. While Bitcoin will only be a digital currency, NFTs are more versatile as they…

M&A Activity Picks Up in F&B Sectors, Including Functional Water Assets Space

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: After a sluggish start to 2020, merger and acquisition activity in the food and beverage industry survived COVID-19 and picked up in H2, with 136 of the year’s 222 transactions closing after June last year. Total transaction value for the year was $13.8 billion, only slightly lower than 2019. Despite the lingering pandemic, consolidation continues in the industry and deal flow has returned to a torrid pace, creating an exceptionally attractive market climate for The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER)(CSE: WTER) (Profile), the U.S.’s largest independent alkaline water company, and its Alkaline88(R) brand, which is now endorsed…

NFTs Flipping the Script, Bringing Value Back to Music Artists

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: With the onset of the digital universe over the last decades, music has been steadily devalued with a race to the bottom pricing to give subscribers access to massive databases of music. Pandemic social shutdowns were another blow to musicians, who now couldn’t even generate revenue from live performances. In recent months, the emergence of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are breathing life into the industry as musicians are getting creative with ways to generate revenue and better connect with fans. An NFT is, in essence, a collectible digital asset, which holds value as a form of cryptocurrency…

Natural Drug Treatments Offer Promise, Potential as Savvy Drug Developers Recognize True Opportunities

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Before government legislation brought the world of psychedelic drug compounds to a halt, promising research was being done in the space. As researchers and scientists took closer looks at substances such as psilocybin, ketamine, DMT (dimethyltryptamine), LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and more, the potential for the compounds appeared to be widespread and even life-changing for many who struggled with notoriously difficult diseases such as depression, addiction, PTSD and more. And then the Federal Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, known as the Controlled Substance Act, took effect. For decades, the promise of these substances has remained ignored. However,…

Wall Street Unicorns in Process of Changing the Healthcare Landscape

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Before 1970, promising research was being conducted on the potential therapeutic effects of a broad category of psychedelic drug compounds, including substances such as psilocybin, DMT (dimethyltryptamine), LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine) — and then the Controlled Substance Act was signed into law, which labeled those substances as drugs of abuse with no medical value. The severely limited research conducted thereafter continued to demonstrate the potential of these compounds to provide therapeutic value, particularly for notoriously difficult diseases such as depression, addiction, PTSD and others. In the past few years, the relatively unattended field of…

Cooking Up a Winning Recipe to Capitalize on $74 Billion Plant-Based Food Market

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The exploding interest in all things plant-based has taken root around the world. And the trend is about much more than eliminating meat from concerned consumers’ diets. For millions of people, choosing plant-based products is a holistic lifestyle that reflects not only healthy eating habits but a commitment to social and sustainability values as well. As proof, recent research shows that ads highlighting the social costs of meat consumption are more influential in swaying a person to a plant-based meat alternative than those emphasizing taste. The concept of an all-encompassing way of living is at the heart…

Coronavirus Forces Companies to Embrace Adtech and Martech; Sector Booms

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Brands are faced with myriad challenges to stay at the top of their game to capture share in their respective markets. Simple fact is that technology advances so rapidly in today’s world that it takes devoting considerable resources and deliberate strategy to effectively reach target demographics. The worldwide outset of the COVID-19 pandemic last March turned the marketing/advertising industry on its head, forcing brands to immediately adopt the latest digital technologies, colloquially known as adtech and martech, which gave a few small companies a big jumpstart to capitalize on the opportunity. A perfect example of this is…
