Ondine Biomedical achieves milestone with NHS trust's adoption of Steriwave

Ondine Biomedical Inc

Ondine Biomedical Inc Vice President of Sales & Marketing Matt Ross joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion after the company sealed its first commercial deal with an NHS trust, starting with the Pontefract and Pinderfields hospitals. This follows a successful 500-patient elective hip and knee surgical quality initiative at Pontefract, leading to its adoption across the two hospitals. The company aims to develop a business case with York health economics group and Mid Yorkshire for broader NHS adoption, based on the successful outcomes and health economics work. Ross also highlighted Ondine's commercial momentum, including the deployment of Steriwave in eight new healthcare facilities and a growing international presence, now spanning 22 facilities in Canada and expanding in the UK and Spain. The success is attributed partly to Steriwave's effectiveness in reducing the need for antibiotics, as demonstrated in a UK study, and its alignment with antimicrobial resistance efforts. Ondine plans to continue expanding in European markets, capitalize on its success in Canada, and explore potential in the United States through FDA phase three trials.

Netcompany joins OTCQX, eyes expansion of US investor base

Netcompany Group A/S

Netcompany (OTCQX:NTCYF) chief financial officer Thomas Johansen joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with more details about the Pan-European IT services firm as it starts trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker 'NTCYF.' Johansen said the company has been listed on the Copenhagen exchange since 2018 and joined the OTCQX to broaden its shareholder base in the US, acknowledging the significance of the IT and technology sector there. Currently, approximately 10% of Netcompany's shares are held by US investors, with ambitions to increase this further. Trading on OTCQX is anticipated to facilitate easier investment by US investors and enhance the company's visibility in the US market. The company reported a challenging yet strong performance for the fourth quarter of December 2023, showcasing double-digit growth and robust cash flow. This growth was predominantly driven by its operations outside Denmark, particularly noting that 45% of its business originates from Denmark, with the international sector experiencing over 20% growth in 2023. Although there was a temporary softness in Denmark's private sector and public spending in 2023, both sectors are showing signs of rebound in 2024. For 2024, Netcompany projects revenue growth of 7-10% and an EBITA margin of 15-18%, expecting broad-based growth across Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, the UK, Benelux, and Greece. This optimism is backed by a 17% increase in revenue visibility at the year's start and expected tenders within the European Union. Johansen highlighted Netcompany's investment appeal through strong organic growth, high margins, significant free cash flow, and a commitment to returning value to shareholders through buyback programs or dividends.

Change Is Needed In The Moving Industry – Here’s How Muvr.io Is Revolutionizing It

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Moving your belongings, picking up Marketplace purchases, and moving large amounts of storage or home waste just got easier thanks to Muvr.io. The on-demand moving app company is setting out to revolutionize an industry known for customer and worker dissatisfaction. Vying to be the Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER) of moving, Muvr offers customers transparent pricing, quality service and on-demand booking, all through its easy-to-use mobile app. Users pick the date for the move and number of boxes, and Muvr takes it from there. Muvr is also trailblazing in worker satisfaction. It treats its drivers and movers fairly, paying them a competitive rate and letting them choose when and how much they work. The positive impact there, then flows on to benefit clients. It’s something founder Rico Suarez, a professional mover for years, says wasn’t always afforded workers in the moving industry. “In the early days of my career as a young and ambitious mover, I experienced firsthand the harsh realities of an industry where workers were often taken advantage of and undervalued,” says Suarez. “I toiled tirelessly, dedicating long hours and immense physical effort to help people move their cherished possessions, only to be met with low pay, little care, and an overall lack of respect. This was a turning point for me.” Out of that frustration, Suarez launched Muvr in 2023 and hasn’t looked back. From customers to workers, here’s how Muvr is disrupting the moving industry with its on-demand service. People Keep On Moving Muvr’s disruptive business model in the moving industry comes at a good time. Even after many people left cities during the pandemic, people are continuing to move within the U.S. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans move 11.7 times in their lifetime. The $21 billion plus industry is expected to continue growing for the foreseeable future. Beyond the U.S., Muvr also sees a substantial opportunity to disrupt the moving industry. Currently, however, the moving industry is known for questionable service and outright scams. Murky pricing enables companies to hit consumers with unforeseen fees for anything from an extra pickup to additional insurance. People are fed up and are looking for better service and Muvr wants to deliver that by providing customers with full pricing transparency through the app. Muvr’s pricing structure is clear, reasonable and free from hidden costs or surprises. Customers know exactly how much the move will cost them. From booking to paying and tracking, everything is at consumers’ fingertips, erasing the worry and stress that usually comes with moving. This commitment to transparency extends to the company’s gig workers, who are provided with detailed information about their compensation and job assignments. That, says Muvr, sets it apart and should ensure loyalty among its gig workers, as well as retainment of the best movers, which is also important to the success of an on-demand service. Less turnover means more dependability in the services it offers. Its Service Is Resonating The strategy is paying off. Despite being in the early stages of its business, Muvr is already profitable and is optimistic about its growth potential. It runs a lean business, ensuring it is achieving operational efficiency. It also goes beyond moving between apartments, homes and offices. Customers can also hire Muvr for same-day delivery of purchases from any store in its service area. The delivery is backed by Muvr’s multi-million dollar insurance policy. Users can further use Muvr to deliver couches, softs, dressers and other big items purchased through online marketplaces like OfferUp, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and many others. Muvr will go 150 miles outside of its service area to pick up an item. Then there’s Muvr’s junk removal service. With just a few taps on a smartphone, customers can book a team of two insured and vetted independent movers who will come to their location, remove their furniture and take it to a disposal or donation center. Not only does Muvr save customers time and effort, it is also an eco-friendly solution for removing unwanted furniture. Rather than dumping your old furniture in a landfill, Muvr movers will work to find a disposal or donation center that can recycle or repurpose it. To learn more about the services Muvr offers in the moving industry click here. Diversifying In The Marketplace By saturating the dynamic market with its on-demand services, Muvr ensures that its revenue stream remains diversified. That protects its revenue and provides several areas of future growth. Currently, it is operating across California, but it plans to replicate the business model in markets across the country and eventually internationally. It helps that Muvr is growing organically through word of mouth, which not only helps keep costs down but is a testament to the viability of its business model. Satisfied customers are spreading the word because they like the service. They are also following CEO Suarez on Facebook and Instagram at substantial rates. Muvr is shaking up the moving industry and aiming to be the Uber of its industry. For big and small investors it potentially provides a unique way to get in on a company that is trailblazing and transforming an industry urgently in need of change.

Digitalbox CEO James Carter discusses 2023 challenges and strategies for growth

Digitalbox PLC

Digitalbox PLC (AIM:DBOX) CEO James Carter tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that 2023 marked the fifth consecutive year of profitability for the company despite facing significant challenges. Carter said Digitalbox encountered difficulties due to audience loss from key platform changes, particularly by Meta and Facebook, and was impacted by the broader economic downturn affecting the UK and global ad markets. Despite these setbacks, the team addressed key platform issues, enhancing audience engagement for its primary brands, Entertainment Daily and The Tab, in the fourth quarter. Strategic acquisitions, including TV Guide and a substantial social media following through a deal with Media Chain, have contributed positively, with notable audience growth and content amplification. The global ad market remained subdued throughout 2023, with Digitalbox observing a flat ad market and a decrease in the programmatic digital market by 10 to 20%. Moving into the first quarter of 2024, the company has seen encouraging performance, although the ad market challenges persist. Carter highlighted Digitalbox's resilience and growth in such a market, especially with The Tab increasing its average session values by 25%. He also discussed the ongoing adjustments with Facebook and Google's algorithms, impacting traffic and content distribution. Specific updates from Google and policy enforcement by Facebook have presented hurdles, but Digitalbox has managed to navigate these changes successfully. The acquisition of media assets from Media Chain has allowed Digitalbox to reach younger demographics and significantly increase audience sizes for Entertainment Daily and The Tab. Looking ahead, Digitalbox is focused on further developing its proprietary ad stack, Graphene, exploring new acquisition opportunities, and ensuring its brand portfolio is well-positioned to handle future platform changes. With £1.9 million in cash at the end of 2023, Carter said the company is prepared to leverage opportunities presented by the current economic climate.

Under-The-Radar: SATO (TSX.V: SATO) (OTC: CCPUF) Bitcoin Miner Reports Strong Position For Upcoming Halving

SATO Technologies Corp.

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga As we inch closer to April, the buzz around Bitcoin's next supply halving is palpable among crypto enthusiasts and investors alike. This event is set to reduce mining rewards to 3.125 BTC per block and stands as a pivotal moment in the cryptocurrency’s life cycle. Historically, such halvings have been the catalyst for bull markets, igniting significant price increases. Following this next halving, many price projections are well above $100,000, though such estimates are naturally speculative. However, this impending halving heralds a major change in the Bitcoin mining industry, where only those with the most efficient technology and access to low-cost energy can thrive. Many miners will likely struggle to stay profitable with the smaller block rewards, but those that survive have the potential to far exceed the movement in Bitcoin’s price. SATO Technologies: Undiscovered Gem In Bitcoin Mining For Upcoming Halving? Among the players well-positioned for the upcoming Bitcoin halving is SATO Technologies (TSX.V: SATO) (OTC: CCPUF) (“SATO”), a company that reports demonstrating strong revenue growth, profitability and cash flows, underscoring its status as an undiscovered gem in the Bitcoin mining sector. Founded in 2017 and listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange, SATO stands out for its industry-leading mining efficiency and disciplined cost structure, ensuring lean operations even in the most challenging market conditions. With more than six years of experience in developing, building and operating a data center, SATO takes a 100% self-mining approach, meaning it exclusively mines for itself without hosting. This strategy is backed by more than 5,500 computers, overseen by proprietary software developed and maintained in-house, and a 20 MW hydroelectric-powered data center in Québec, Canada, that operates on 100% renewable energy. With an output efficiency averaging 77.11 BTC per EH/s on nearly 0.6 EH/s, SATO says it is among the most efficient miners globally. Furthermore, SATO is poised to navigate the complexities of the Bitcoin halving with its strong balance sheet; cash on hand +62% YoY (2023 vs. 2022) and digital assets holdings +126% YoY (2023 vs 2022); reflecting the company’s financial health and ability to invest in growth opportunities. This financial performance is supported by a cost-effective and lean operating model, where site operating costs and other corporate overhead expenses are meticulously managed to ensure high profit margins. The company is also exploring the potential of entering the fields of High-Performance Computing (HPC) / Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Layer 2 Bitcoin technology. SATO’s Vision Into HPC, AI, And Building On Bitcoin (L2’s) Another differentiator between SATO and other miners is that the company's vision extends beyond mining. The company aims to diversify into HPC and AI. Despite the apparent differences between Bitcoin mining and AI/HPC endeavors, the underlying principle of converting electricity into high-density computational power remains the same. By applying its accumulated expertise from Bitcoin mining, SATO aims to develop highly competitive solutions to service the HPC industry like Generative AI. Also on SATO’s radar is building on Bitcoin with Layer 2 solutions with the goal to profit from the expected increase in transaction fees in the future. In pursuit of this goal, it has already made strides by introducing innovative software designed to facilitate the management of ordinals. This technology enables the creation of unique Bitcoin inscriptions and aids in the discovery of rare satoshis, showcasing the company's future potential to add value by diversifying revenue streams and further contributing to the Bitcoin ecosystem. A Digital Golden Opportunity? As the Bitcoin landscape evolves, particularly with the upcoming halving event, SATO stands out as a company prioritizing efficiency and cost discipline. Its unique approach to mining and strong balance sheet potentially position the company as a significant contender pre and post-halving. For those looking for that next undiscovered gem in the Bitcoin mining space, SATO may be worth watching, not just as a Bitcoin mining company but as a visionary enterprise potentially poised to advance the broader digital currency industry. Featured photo by Michael Förtsch on Unsplash. SATO, founded in 2017, is a publicly listed company providing efficient computing power. The Company currently operates a data center tailored to produce compute power for Bitcoin Mining, but may look to expand or add additional data centers for computing power for Bitcoin Mining, High Power Computing (“HPC”), Artificial Intelligence (“AI”), and L2’s.

Fury Gold Mines Consolidates Eleonore South: CEO Tim Clark Lays Out His Master Plan

Fury Gold Mines Limited

March 27, 2024 – TheNewsWire – Global Stocks News – On March 20, 2024 Fury Gold Mines (TSX:FURY) (NYSE American:FURY) announced that starting early April 2024, it will begin a 2,000 meter diamond core drilling program at its 100% owned Éléonore South gold project located in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region of Quebec. Following the March 1, 2024 acquisition of Newmont’s 49.9% interest in the project for CND $3 million, Fury now has complete control of Éléonore South. “The proximal Éléonore Mine has about 5 or 6-years of mine life remaining,” Tim Clark, CEO of Fury Gold told Guy Bennett, CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “They need to extend the mine life. In early April 2024 we are going to be drilling Éléonore South.  If we get good grades on our property, there's a potential further consolidation opportunity.” Click Image To View Full Size   “Historically, three companies owned Éléonore South,” Clark told GSN. “It was difficult to get anything done. The Fury geological team believe this is a prolific area for new discovery.  Recent geochemical surveys confirm that we have interesting targets. And now, for the first time, we are free to drill the project, on our own timeline.” Tim Clark is a capital markets’ veteran (Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, BMO) who has a track record of making savvy acquisitions and raising institutional funds. “Beyond access to capital, and the quality of our gold assets in Canada, our other differentiator is the experience of our management team,” stated Clark. “Fury has extremely disciplined spending habits.  We allocate capital carefully and do deals that we believe will strengthen our position.” Select Fury Gold milestones under Tim Clark’s tenure: December 6, 2021: Sale of Homestake Ridge for $50 million April 19, 2022: Completion of CND $11 Million Private Placement August 3, 2022: Discovery of Multiple High-Grade Gold at Eau Claire August 8, 2022: Fury and Newmont Take Control of Éléonore South December 21, 2022: Fury Drills 13.5 Metres of 8.05 g/t Gold at Percival February 22, 2023: Appointment of Brian Christie as Board Director March 23, 2023: Closing of CND $8.75 Million Financing September 5, 2023: Appointment of Isabelle Cadieux as Board Director November 6, 2023: Fury Intercepts up to 279 g/t Gold over 1.5m at Percival Main January 17, 2024: 31.77 g/t gold & 8.07g/t Tellurium over 3.5 Metres at Hinge Target March 1, 2024: Consolidation of Éléonore South Gold Project March 14, 2024: Sale of 5.45 million DV Silver shares to institutions March 20, 2024: Drills to begin turning in April at Éléonore South Click Image To View Full Size   “In the course of my career, I developed close personal relationships with many CEOs in the gold and precious metals space,” Clark told GSN. “I also have long standing relationships with hedge fund managers and institutional resource investors,” Clark continued. “Through these relationships Fury Gold has access to capital and deal flow.” The fully funded drill program announced on March 20, 2024, will focus on the Moni trend where previous drilling intercepted up to; 53.25 m of 4.22 g/t gold (Au); 6.0 m of 49.50 g/t Au including 1.0 m of 294 g/t Au and 23.8 m of 3.08 g/t Au including 1.5 m of 27.80 g/t Au, several of which remain open. Click Image To View Full Size   “This area, given its strategic significance near the border to Sirios’ Cheechoo deposit, proximity to the operating Éléonore Mine, and historical high-grade gold drill intercepts, represents a tremendous amount of potential upside to investors,” stated Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. “Going forward, we will also be exploring other priority targets across the whole 100% owned Éléonore South property which will include a follow-up biogeochemical survey of the Éléonore Mine style gold anomaly that we recently identified at the project.” Previous drilling at Éléonore South, 38,037 m in 164 drill holes, was largely focussed in the Moni area and successfully defined a 2,000 m x 750 m zone of lower-grade intrusion related gold mineralization similar to that of the Cheechoo gold deposit. Within the lower-grade gold halo, there are a series of structurally controlled quartz vein stockworks which host significantly higher grades of gold. Fury’s Spring 2024 drilling campaign will focus on these structural corridors following up on previous drill intercepts of 53.25 m of 4.22 g/t Au; 6.0 m of 49.50 g/t Au and 23.8 m of 3.08 g/t Au.” In late spring Fury will complete the biogeochemical grid where a robust geochemical gold anomaly within the same sedimentary rock package that hosts Newmont’s Éléonore Mine has been identified ( see news release dated March 5, 2024 ). Click Image To View Full Size   Figure 1: Drilling around the Cheechoo Tonalite showing previous drill intercept highlights (2017-2019). “We’ve been given an excellent opportunity to get drilling at Éléonore South several months ahead of what we had initially envisioned. This will allow us the ability to confirm our recent targeting within the Cheechoo tonalite and test our ideas on the controls of the high-grade quartz vein hosted gold mineralization. Our teams will be mobilizing within the week,” stated Bryan Atkinson, P.Geol., SVP Exploration of Fury. Fury also owns 54 million shares of Dolly Varden Silver, which has a market cap of CND $216 million. DV Silver is developing its 100% held Kitsault Valley Project located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada, 25 kilometers by road to tide water. It also has a new consolidated copper-gold porphyry project in the Golden Triangle, similar to other deposits in the region (Red Mountain, KSM, Red Chris). On November 2, 2023 Dolly Varden Silver announced that it has closed a deal where Hecla Canada invested $10 million in DV Silver, raising its stake in DV Silver from 10.6% to 15.7%. Hecla Mining has a market cap of USD $2.64 billion and trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It produced 14.2 million ounces of silver in 2023. “Hecla has demonstrated it is a sticky shareholder,” DV Silver CEO Shawn Khunkhun told GSN, “They're looking to expand their North American silver portfolio.” Click Image To View Full Size   “Fury Gold Mines is a best-in-class junior gold exploration company, focused on Canada, which has a favorable geopolitical climate,” Clark concluded. “Because of our Dolly Varden position, and relationships with institutional investors, we are in a strong position to finance current and future exploration and development programs.” Contact: guy.bennett@globalstocksnews.com Full Disclaimer

ABOUND specializes in developing scalable, environmentally friendly, long-lasting energy technology. Our patented Zaeras™ long-duration energy storage technology, leveraging zinc-air chemistry, guarantees the storage and on-demand delivery of electricity without the limitations or environmental risks associated with current market leaders. About ABOUND’s Zaeras™ Technology Zaeras™ is precision-engineered to meet future energy requirements, with a specific emphasis on simplifying long-duration energy storage. Harnessing the potential of its multi-patented Zaeras™ technology, ABOUND is poised to facilitate the seamless integration of green energy sources into the grid. This is achieved by minimizing curtailment, bridging the gap between supply and demand, and efficiently integrating green energy into the grid. ABOUND's strategic initiatives encompass opportunities for peak demand reduction, leveraging time-of-use arbitrage, participating in value stacking programs, and entering the distributed long-duration energy storage sector. These endeavors are aligned with our central objective of increasing the integration and resiliency of green energy, while stabilizing the grid. Distinguished by its inherent safety—free from fire or explosion hazards—Zaeras™ guarantees sustained capacity over an extensive lifecycle. Simultaneously, it showcases versatility by independently managing charge and discharge operations. Comparable to other Flow Battery technologies, scaling up the energy capacity of Zaeras™ is as simple as increasing the size of the fuel tank; a cost-effective solution, from kWh to MWh.  This is a welcome alternative to the fixed power-to-energy ratio constraints ingrained in traditional systems, such as Li-ion and Zinc Hybrid Batteries.
