TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2018 /CNW/ - Imex Systems Inc. ("Imex"
or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: IMEX; OTC: IMSYF) a software
solution provider to Governments, Municipalities and Public
Authorities, is pleased to announce that it has advanced its
working model of the GOVCANN platform and is in the process of
forming strategic relationships as the country prepares for
adult-use cannabis legalization on October
17, 2018.
The Company is developing the GOVCANN platform utilizing
artificial intelligence to amass highly scalable cannabis data
analytics and will provide geographically specific and relevant
content for users. This will be built upon a Canada-wide, real-time blockchain tracking
system in order to enhance public safety and reduce regulatory
costs by mitigating supply chain risks associated with legal
cannabis product diversion and unknown product quality in the black
market.
Further to integrating GOVCANN into its iGov platform, the
Company aims to initially work with municipalities and regional law
enforcement agencies to promote socially responsible cannabis
initiatives within their communities. This education and awareness
platform is critical to the development of the responsible, safe
cannabis industry in Canada.
"We have been consulting with representatives at various levels
of government and have found that there is a dire need for
information as it relates to both medical and adult-use
recreational cannabis," said Rob
Klein, CEO of Imex. "We have the technology, the platform,
and expertise so extending our relationships with governments and
public agencies into the rapidly emerging cannabis industry is a
natural fit. We are excited to launch our initial pilot project and
will provide more details in the coming weeks."
