Foodpanda Agreement:

After operating in Hong Kong for over five years and acquiring numerous competing delivery platforms and food brands, Foodpanda has become the market leader in the region. The Foodpanda Agreement builds on the Company's strong working relationship with Foodpanda in Taiwan . It provides JustKitchen with access to Foodpanda's primary Order Delivery service and establishes a commercial marketing alliance between the two companies for Hong Kong . Under the Foodpanda Agreement, JustKitchen also has the option to enter into subsequent agreements to utilize Foodpanda's other platforms, including but not limited to PandaMart for its JustMarket grocery listings. The Foodpanda Agreement also enables JustKitchen to offer Foodpanda's proprietary food brands through its ghost kitchens.

Zeek Agreement:

Since 2017, Zeek has been a trusted logistics partner of a range of businesses from grocery marketplaces to Michelin-rated restaurants, among others. Under the terms of the Zeek Agreement, the Company will leverage Zeek's tailored suite of ZeekNow solutions, including but not limited to Zeek Food Delivery and ZeekDash, to increase its reach to customers in Hong Kong's on-demand prepared food and grocery delivery markets. Subject to the success of their collaboration in Hong Kong , Zeek and JustKitchen are open to applying their combined efforts to capture high-growth opportunities in other markets across Southeast Asia .

Mid-Levels Location:

Subsequent to the opening of its first ghost kitchen in Hong Kong in the North Point area, the Company has identified and secured a second location in the Mid-Levels neighbourhood.

Nanalysis Corp. Receives Funding Supporting AI Software Development for Detection of Illicit Substances

Nanalysis Scientific Corp. ("the Company" or "Nanalysis", TSXV: NSCI OTCQX: NSCIF FRA: 1N1 ), a leader in portable NMR machines, MRI technology for industrial and research applications, and detection equipment services, announces that its subsidiary Nanalysis Corp. is receiving advisory services and up to $1.45 million in non-repayable, non-dilutive funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP), to develop Artificial Intelligence based software tools to detect illicit substances on top of the Company's portable Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers.

In the global fight against substance abuse, federal, state, provincial, county and municipal governments around the world are tasked with characterizing increasing volumes of seized contraband. This characterization requires an array of different analytical techniques and is carried out by skilled forensic scientists in thousands of laboratories worldwide. In many cases these laboratories face significant sample backlog due to volume and may have difficulties in identifying new designer drugs.

This project, scheduled for three years, will focus on using quantum mechanical modelling and AI tools to perform analysis of magnetic resonance results generated by Nanalysis benchtop instruments. These tools will not only identify known illicit drugs but will also identify unknown drugs that are derivatives of known illicit substances also referred to as designer drugs or new psychoactive substances (NPS). The non-destructive nature of NMR spectroscopy and the fact that unlike traditional forensic testing methods, it is non-targeted, uniquely positions it to help identify these drugs. The company is developing this application in the context of its quantitative NMR platform technology, which has other applications as well, beyond illicit drug detection.

"We are very grateful for the support of NRC IRAP to further develop complementary software for our Benchtop products," said Nanalysis CEO and Founder Sean Krakiwsky . "This project builds on our ongoing relationship with the LKA police organization in Germany and on our continued culture of magnetic resonance innovation. We look forward to providing more solutions for law enforcement in combatting the increasingly societal problem of designer drugs and other deadly toxins."
