"The value creating initiatives achieved for our medical cannabis and cannabinoid pharmaceuticals strategy such as the exclusive license and the research of cannabinoid-based therapies for liver diseases, the development of a unique delivery technology for cannabinoids, the relationships with scientific advisors, academia and industry, and the potential of future collaborations with companies seeking to develop and commercialize novel cannabinoid-based therapies effectively positions Revive in the medical cannabis and cannabinoid pharmaceuticals space for broad and large market opportunities."
Over the past year Revive has been focused on developing novel therapies that target the endocannabinoid system and building a robust cannabinoid-based product pipeline which includes early stage research and development programs with the advancement of cannabinoid-based therapies for liver diseases and potentially late stage commercial opportunities with the development of a unique cannabinoid delivery system for the medical cannabis market. Revive continues to dedicate its resources in identifying and researching novel cannabinoid-based therapies and in developing its cannabinoid delivery technology for both near-term commercial opportunities in the medical cannabis market and long-term opportunities in the cannabinoid pharmaceuticals market.
