The result is  rapid scale-up and monetization, with a solid record of public and  private exits – including at least two companies listing in 2021.

From its recent  acquisition of Hydreight, to the direct listings of Immersive Tech &  GameOn, to the string of recent exec appointments including Mike  Vorhous and J. Moses... there’s a lot of ground to cover here.

So, you’re going  to want to get comfy for this interview with Shafin Diamond Tejani, CEO  and founder of Victory Square Technologies:

As the name  implies “PropTech” is a combination of two words and stands for  “property technology.”  As simple as that is, the implementation and  importance of PropTech is anything but, which is why many companies are  trying to capitalize on the rapidly growing paradigm shift, while Universal PropTech (UPI:TSXV) is actually delivering healthy building solutions developers, owners and operators across Canada.

More than just lip service, UPI clients include:

· Federal Government facilities for over 40 years

· Manulife

· Brookfield

· Billy Bishop Airport

· University of Toronto

· .... and many more

As a  result, UPI has generated $35,000,000+ in revenue over the past 3 year -  a number most small cap companies would be very happy with.  But newly  appointed Chief Growth Officer, Frank Carnevale sees a much bigger  opportunity by winning exclusive licenses and partnerships with  providers of great products that can significantly grow company revenues  ... and he has delivered pretty strongly against this mission statement  in 2021.

BUT TODAY HE TOOK A GIANT LEAP FORWARD

The press release headline says it all:

Universal  PropTech Inc. Invests in and Secures defined Agency Rights for ISBRG  Corp.'s SpotLight-19(C) Technology Designed to Detect Covid-19  Non-Invasively in Under One Minute

In short, this  technology takes a non-invasive scan of a person's finger with a  harmless beam of light designed to provide confirmation of Covid-19  infection in less than 1 minute.

How significant is this announcement and what does it mean to the Company's growth?

When  we conduct a "Beyond The Press Release" interview, it is always about A  press release .... but Empower Clinics has been moving so fast that we  sat down with CEO Steve McAuley to discuss these THREE press releases,  the explosive growth of the Company and where it is going:

As  usual, Six Sigma Steve McAuley doesn't disappoint as he confidently and  clearly tells investors where Empower Clinics is going next.

Beyond Meat has become an $11 BILLION company by creating products designed to emulate beef.

Non-Alcoholic beer is now an $18 BILLION market by creating products designed to emulate alcoholic beverages.

The basis of  success for each has come from delivering the experience meat eaters and  beer drinkers have come to love, without any of the negative health  effects.

TAAT™ Beyond  Tobacco™ mimics the experiences of cigarettes without nicotine or  tobacco.  It is engineered to closely emulate the sensory components of  smoking a tobacco cigarette, including tasting and smelling just like  tobacco.

E-cigarettes and  vaping have failed despite existing for 15 years, driving most smokers  back to cigarettes because they only perpetuate the problem of nicotine  addiction while delivering a completely different user experience to  smokers.

Under the  leadership of experienced veterans from the tobacco industry, including  and especially Philip Morris International, TAAT™ launched in the United  States just 9 weeks ago and has already received repeat orders from  more than 60% of convenience and gas station customers.

How good was this launch?

“Out of all of the tobacco category products I have worked with, TAAT™ is an outlier in terms of the level of demand it has had in its early stages.  I have launched dozens of new tobacco brands across Canada as well as  in the Caribbean, and while many of the new products were reordered by  retailers in their first several weeks on the market, none of them were  reordered by anywhere near 60% of stores that initially carried them.  .... I have confidence that we could replicate these outcomes both in  Ohio and in other markets where we may introduce TAAT™ in the future.”   - TAAT Chief Revenue Officer Tim Corkum (former commercialization executive for Philip Morris International)

How big is the market TAAT is going after?  Tobacco is used by:

... and almost  all of them aspire to leave nicotine behind.  Beyond Tobacco™  from TAAT is about to give them what they want and, if they succeed,  give shareholders "Beyond Belief" returns in the next 2-3 years.

DraganFly ($DFLY) and Windfall Geotek ($WIN) have combined  world-class drone technology with artificial intelligence to create an  “incomparable solution” solving the global landmine epidemic.

With 60 – 110 million landmines needed to be found, the market is  estimated to be worth $700M per year … But that pales in comparison to  the value of lives that will be saved and economic prosperity created  from ridding regions plagued by landmines.
