RE:RE:Stop Talking and Start DoingYou need to understand the relationship between academia and industry.
Ceapro sponors research to get the subsidized research they need done. The universities need to publish papers so the professors can attract research funds (govt and private). It's a symbiotic relationship. In addition have you noticed the PhD students that end up working at Ceapro? They get experienced staff who spents years working on PGX projects.
Lastly, yes, it is easier to publish and to present papers than to ink a deal.
I would believer that as the reserach is advanced, and we have the Edmonton plant and Germany plants setting up for commercial production we get that much closer to a deal.

There is no time for that real business building heavy lifting. Have to get that presentation to academia done on our exciting process developments and then have to get a fantastic research study kicked off so we can write more papers.........
I can picture the gang sipping coffee chatting about this cool IDEA on how they can infuse lavendar essence into AVN's for the ice cream market.....BUT shouldnt you be calling customers to find out what they are working on and get on their development programs....Ya, ya good idea, we should do that....oh wow, I just had an IDEA, that if we used PGX with mushrooms.....
Of course the response will be that they are on top of it and are working on this and that, whole list of exciting things for 2021.....but at the end of the day its RESULTS THAT COUNT. I didnt see a revenue number attached to any of them. Since 2018 revenues have grown by $3.5million. Really, what earth shattering, ground breaking (or exciting and fantastic) business do we have here?
