50% Reduction in Carbon Emissions by 2030 Means Opportunities Now

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Every president wants a legacy and President Joe Biden wants to put his stamp on climate change. Only a few months into his term, President Biden has pledged to slash U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by a minimum of 50–52 percent by 2030, an undertaking that doubles the nation’s prior promise under the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Further out, the target is net zero carbon emissions by 2050. These aggressive goals require immediate action, including addressing the fact that almost 40 percent all carbon dioxide pollution is created by power plants burning fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency…

Time to Capitalize on the Net Zero Emission Initiative

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: There’s plenty of prattle out there about global warming and sustainable energy, most of which is unrealistic and lacking in real-world achievability. As it stands now, the world is aligned to fall demonstrably short of a unitary goal to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Indeed, there are many noble intentions underscoring proposals to curb CO2 emissions, but the economic cost and technological challenges make it more platitude than practical. Last month, the International Energy Agency ("IEA") issued a comprehensive and actionable plan to cap the global temperature rise to 1.5°C by mid-century without upending energy stability,…

A Lesson in Cannabis: Second Mover Can Be Better Position

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Even though medical marijuana had been legal in some U.S. states for more than a decade, the substance didn’t gain much recognition until Colorado set the market on its head in 2012 by making adult-use marijuana legal. Since then, other states have followed suit, while in 2018, Canada went all-in to become the first developed nation with weed legalized at the federal level. Not surprisingly, North American companies and investors were tripping over themselves trying to capitalize on the massive burgeoning market. In all market segments, plenty of lessons were learned as everyone from companies to investors…

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.

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,…
