Cannvas Secures Partnership with Data-Driven Cannabis-Focused California Real Estate Firm
https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/cannvas-secures-partnership-with-data-driven-cannabis-focused-california-real-estate-firm-872495035.html
Cannvas Data Platform To Provide Key Consumer, Retail Insights to Buyers Through Rebranded Company
TORONTO, April 17, 2019 /CNW/ - Cannvas MedTech Inc. ("Cannvas" or the "Company") (CSE: MTEC) (Frankfurt: 3CM) (OTCPK: CANVF), a leading digital cannabis education and analytics company, is pleased to announce Cannvas has entered into a definitive partnership with California-based real estate brokerage Good Karma, an innovative two-year-old agency specializing in the California commercial market, to provide detailed analysis and insights into the California market through its Cannvas Data platform while also undertaking a contemporary rebrand of the company.
"Through the analysis of high-level cannabis consumer data, Cannvas is well-positioned to support hopeful cannabis retailers with key demographic information on their target audiences, ensuring optimal location selection to drive awareness and profit," said Steve Loutskou, Chief Operating Officer, Cannvas Medtech Inc. "With this partnership between Good Karma and Cannvas, we are poised to help cannabis retailers target ideal locations for their business using the million-plus data points we have collected on potential and active cannabis consumers across North America."
According to a recent Allen Matkins/UCLA Anderson Forecast California Commercial Real Estate Survey, overall retail sales in the U.S. have increased at a 5.3 percent annual rate while retail markets struggle in California due to the onset of e-commerce that has grown at a 10.7 percent rate. However, industrial real estate is trending upward in the golden state, dominated by warehousing and distribution centres. Among its plans, Cannvas hopes to work with Good Karma to identify key industrial sites to act as strategically-placed distribution hubs for cannabis retailers across the state.
Cannvas expects this partnership to facilitate conversations with California cannabis producers and retailers looking to leverage a growing and diversifying customer base increasingly turning to cannabis to curb unhealthy habits or replace/complement traditional pain medication. Through the use of demographic and firmographic data, Cannvas can identify desirable consumer behaviour traits in specific regions across the state, helping to drive decisions on where to open up shop and reach new and potential customers.
With a population of nearly 40 million, California is considered to be among the largest recreational and medical cannabis markets in the world, alongside Canada. In the late 1990s, it was the first U.S. state to legalize medical cannabis and recreational cannabis sales became legal in January 2018. That year, the New York Times reports California retail stores sold US $2.5 billion of cannabis, compared to $1.5 billion or lower in Colorado, Washington and Oregon. According to BDS Analytics, the golden state is projected to account for nearly $25 billion of cannabis sales by 2026.
Good Karma was founded in Silicon Valley in 2016 by Len Sterling. A native of California and certified medical professional, Mr. Sterling has a reputation for prudent management from decades of experience in recruitment, sales and management.

Cannvas Acquires Exclusive Canadian Rights to Distribution of Co-Branded Kiosks
TORONTO, April 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Cannvas MedTech Inc. ("Cannvas" or the "Company") (CSE: MTEC) (Frankfurt: 3CM) (OTCPK: CANVF), a leading digital cannabis education and analytics company, is pleased to announce a definitive partnership with Seed Technology, a California, USA based interactive customer-focused cannabis education platform, granting Cannvas exclusive Canadian rights to distribute co-branded kiosks and related technology to medical clinics and dispensaries across Canada.
"Seed Technology has established itself as a premier purveyor of cannabis education to customers at dispensaries across the United States and we are excited to strategically partner with them and introduce an innovative co-branded concept to a Canadian market craving evidence-based information on cannabis and its potential health benefits," said Steve Loutskou, Chief Operating Officer, Global Markets, Cannvas MedTech Inc. "Partnering with Seed allows us to offer a wider range of cannabis education products and services through our Cannvas Kiosk initiative to better serve our partners and deliver accessible and unbiased cannabis learning resources to as many Canadians as possible."
Developed by Horizon Display - leading interactive experts providing and enhancing digital solutions for top brands such as Intel, Tesla, Nike, Disney and more for over 10 years - Seed was created to provide dispensaries with an advanced tool to improve customer experience, support staff and move product. Collaborating with a team of interactive education experts, scientists and cannabis industry specialists, Seed compiles accurate and timely information about cannabis and related products and transforms its research into one of the most advanced interactive education platforms in use at American dispensaries today.
The partnership allows for minimal capital requirements from Cannvas, as the Company gains access to Seed's existing facilities and services, including its comprehensive in-house system for the manufacturing, distribution and content creation of its kiosks. Plans are in the works to integrate Cannvas - and now Seed - learning kiosks with select health clinics and platforms from coast to coast whereby users engaging with the kiosk have an opportunity to follow up with a licensed medical practitioner, should they so choose, and these clinics or platforms will be among their options. Cannvas and Seed will also collaborate on integrating Cannvas.Me technology and content into Seed kiosks to further improve accessibility to free, unbiased and physician-backed education about the potential health benefits of medical and adult-use cannabis.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for all Canadians curious about cannabis consumption but unsure where to turn for reliable, accurate and timely education on its potential health benefits," said Daniel Davidzon, Director of Strategy and Education, Cannvas MedTech Inc. "Bringing the Seed kiosk brand to Canada increases our chances of reaching active and potential cannabis consumers where they shop, eat, work and live through on-site learning resources like the Cannvas.Me platform and equipping them with the information they need to make informed decisions on cannabis usage prior to speaking to their health care provider."
About Seed
Seed is developed by Horizon Display—leading interactive experts who have been providing digital solutions for top brands and enhancing retail environments and experiences for over 10 years. Seed was developed to provide dispensaries with an advanced tool to enhance the buying experience for their customers, support their staff, and sell more product. To create Seed, its team of researchers logged thousands of hours across several states speaking to scientists and industry specialists to compile the most up-to-date information about cannabis and related products.

USA Cannabis Market Projected To Reach Over $23B by 2022
TORONTO, April 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Cannvas MedTech Inc. ("Cannvas" or the "Company") (CSE: MTEC) (Frankfurt: 3CM) (OTCPK: CANVF), a leading digital cannabis education and analytics company, is pleased to establish a working partnership with US Cannabis Pharmaceutical Research and Development ("US Cannabis"), a resource for organizations seeking to normalize, legalize and develop medicinal cannabis. The deal positions Cannvas as an exclusive, leading provider of cannabis education and analytics to US Cannabis and its vast network of clients.
"As the global cannabis industry grows and the need for an arm's length third-party organization to provide unbiased education and information around all aspects of cannabis becomes more apparent, we're proud to partner with US Cannabis as their leading source of trusted cannabis-related learning," said Shawn Moniz, Chief Executive Officer, Cannvas MedTech. "This deal is structured to further our growth plans for 2019 while significantly expanding the reach of our educational and analytics platforms into the United States, a projected $23.4 billion market for recreational cannabis by 2022 and $8 billion for medicinal by 2024 according to BDS Analytics."
A key partnership for both organizations, Cannvas and US Cannabis will work together to deliver cannabis education to potential and active cannabis consumers through the Cannvas.Me digital learning resource. Cannvas will reinforce US Cannabis' goal of normalizing and developing medicinal and therapeutic cannabis through US Cannabis' vast partner network across the United States. Both companies believe educating the public about the investment, business and job opportunities around cannabis legalization will complement strengthened education on the plant's potential health benefits, and the Cannvas.Me platform is well-positioned to meet that challenge.
"Over the next 5 years, the global cannabis industry will grow faster than any other industry in the world," says Michael Patterson, CEO of US Cannabis. "Accurate data analytics and education from a trusted source are critical to the development of global standards of this new legal industry. Cannvas provides the best platform to use with our clients in the United States and abroad to facilitate consistent training, increased compliance with local, state, and federal laws, and create awareness of the consumer base locally and globally. We are proud to work with Cannvas to develop the gold standard for cannabis operations and compliance."
US Cannabis provides services to help an array of clients - from startups to seasoned investors, established operations to Native American tribes and government agencies. Cannvas will support these efforts through the licensing of educational software, the use of cannabis data and analytics to better understand key industry trends and drivers for the businesses with whom US Cannabis works closely, placement of Cannvas educational kiosks in existing US-based dispensaries and clinics, and other elements designed to elevate the level of learning Americans experience around cannabis. With more than a dozen states expected to pass new cannabis laws by 2025, according to New Frontier Data, the projected growth of the American cannabis market will provide many more opportunities for US Cannabis and Cannvas to work together as this partnership evolves.
About US Cannabis Pharmaceuticals
US Cannabis serves as a resource for organizations seeking to normalize, legalize and develop medicinal cannabis by engaging in commerce, marketing, regulatory reform and product/process development. Its mission is to move society forward through legalized cannabis. It believes the most powerful form of advocacy is commerce and the best way to promote cannabis is by working together to create a robust industry.

Cannvas Acquisitions Subsidiary Exploring Growth Opportunities Across United States
https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/cannvas-acquisitions-subsidiary-exploring-growth-opportunities-across-united-states-899792451.html
Focus on Emerging Multi-Billion Dollar California Market
TORONTO, April 9, 2019 /CNW/ - Cannvas MedTech Inc. ("Cannvas" or the "Company") (CSE: MTEC) (Frankfurt: 3CM) (OTCPK: CANVF), a leading digital cannabis education and analytics company, is pleased to announce Cannvas Cannabis Acquisitions Corp. ("Cannvas Cannabis"), a wholly-owned subsidiary with a focus on investment and acquisition in the expanding global cannabis sector, has been actively exploring opportunities with data-driven organizations across the United States to expand its dataset of cannabis consumer trends through strategic partnership and merger and acquisition opportunities, with a significant focus on the US $2.5 billion California cannabis market.
"As America remains on the verge of exploding into the leading global cannabis marketplace, it is in the best interests of our organization and stakeholders to investigate all relevant growth opportunities for Cannvas and seek out strategic partners with whom we can grow all aspects of our company and contribute to the promotion of responsible and knowledge-based cannabis use," said Steve Loutskou, Chief Executive Officer, Cannvas Cannabis Acquisitions. "We are doing our due diligence in exploring a number of options to potentially expand the Cannvas brand into the United States, particularly California which represents nearly a third of the North American market and currently encompasses more than a million medical cannabis consumers."
With a population of nearly 40 million, approximately 10% of whom are legal medical cannabis users, California is considered to be among the largest recreational and medical cannabis markets in the world, alongside Canada. In the late 1990s, it was the first U.S. state to legalize medical cannabis and recreational cannabis sales became legal in January 2018. That year, California retail stores reportedly sold US $2.5 billion of cannabis, compared to $1.5 billion or lower in Colorado, Washington and Oregon. The golden state is projected to account for nearly $25 billion of cannabis sales by 2026.
Reports indicate more than 30% of all cannabis sales in California in 2018 were vapes, demonstrating the growing trend of more sophisticated and discerning audiences looking to learn more about alternative and healthier methods of ingestion. Cannvas hopes to leverage its educational and data analytics properties and work with retailers to offer consumers more robust education around the potential health benefits of cannabis, increase incremental sales through accessible product knowledge and better target potential and active users through in-depth analytics.
While Cannvas is actively seeking growth opportunities with American cannabis data organizations, the Company is also exploring options with U.S. entities on the distribution and fulfillment sides of the cannabis industry. The United States will likely one day represent the world's largest cannabis market, with 65 percent of its population already residing in states where cannabis is either medically and/or recreationally legal. According to BDS Analytics, the U.S. legal cannabis market is projected to reach US $20.9 billion by 2021.

AR To Support Delivery of Free and Physician-Backed Digital Cannabis Education
TORONTO, Jan. 22, 2019 /CNW/ - Cannvas MedTech Inc. ("Cannvas" or the "Company") (CSE: MTEC) (Frankfurt: 3CM) (OTCPK: CANVF), a leading digital cannabis educator and business technology company, is pleased to announce it has agreed to a deal with NexTech AR Solutions Corp.(CSE: NTAR) (OTC: NEXCF), whose mission is to bring augmented reality (AR) to the masses through its web-enabled AR e-commerce, AR e-learning and AR live streaming platforms to create the first AR ecosystem, to collaborate on enhancing the user experience of its digital cannabis education kiosks across Canada.
"Working with NexTech allows Cannvas the opportunity to create a first-to-market AR-based cannabis learning program and lead the way for the digital evolution of education as it continues to intertwine with technology to generate new and exciting ways for people to take in information," said Steve Loutskou, Chief Operating Officer, Global Markets, Cannvas MedTech Inc. "It has been proven that companies who personalize the user experience through AR enjoy an improvement in their customer relations and overall profitability, and our goal through this partnership with NexTech is to take our Cannvas Kiosk to the next level and ensure users receive accurate and evidence-based cannabis information customized to their needs and location."
NexTech brings AR to a wide audience through its own AR ecosystem, featuring e-commerce solutions for websites, AR learning and education and AR live streaming for events. Its AR web-enabled e-commerce platform is currently integrated with Shopify, WordPress and Magento, and its e-learning platform "edCetra" has been used by Fortune 500 companies such as Imperial Oil, Bombardier and Staples, as well as the Library of Congress and others to educate and train employees.
Through its partnership with NexTech, Cannvas expects to refine the user experience of its Cannvas Kiosks, a network of learning kiosks in high-traffic retail areas across Canada to improve accessibility to free and physician-backed education about the potential benefits of medical and adult-use cannabis. Cannvas hopes to use AR to build on the current Kiosk platform, attracting a wider audience and extending the length of each consumer interaction while delivering a more memorable and lasting educational impression.
"As a leading digital cannabis education and business technology company, we are always exploring ways to leverage new technologies in support of the educational content we provide around the potential health benefits of cannabis," said Shawn Moniz, Chief Executive Officer, Cannvas MedTech Inc. "The rise of AR as a prevalent marketing tool coupled with the proven track record of NexTech working with top brands to deliver personalized AR experiences to their customers made it an easy decision to retain their services and strengthen the impression our Cannvas Kiosk leaves on cannabis-curious users from coast to coast."
Content at each Cannvas Kiosk will be powered by the Cannvas.Me platform. Cannvas.Me is a scalable and comprehensive solution for the global medical cannabis community offering interactive tools and physician-backed content to audiences wishing to learn about health care through cannabis. Its mission is to place users in the driver's seat of their health care journey, arming them with unbiased information on whether medicinal or therapeutic use of cannabis can be beneficial to their lifestyle.
Plans are in the works to integrate Cannvas learning kiosks with select health clinics and platforms from coast to coast whereby users engaging with the Kiosk have an opportunity to follow up with a licensed medical practitioner, should they so choose, and these clinics or platforms will be among their options.
Cannvas and NexTech plan to collaborate on data collection and analysis to examine consumer behaviour patterns at Cannvas Kiosks and leverage that information to ensure optimal user experiences. Both companies will also explore their existing networks and strategic partnerships to assess whether there is potential to form a joint service offering through the Cannvas Kiosk platform or an otherwise undiscovered opportunity.
