Our efforts to receive independent verification of our distinct competitive advantages within the urban indoor vertical farming space have confirmed our readiness to transition from a pre-commercial phase to full commercial expansion.
While expanding our product offerings and fortifying our supply chain, we also made significant strides in strengthening our leadership team. With an expanded board composed of highly experienced directors and the addition of Pedro Silva as our Chief Financial Officer, we have assembled a formidable team to execute our growth strategy and prepare for our planned amalgamation with our former parent company, TheraCann International Benchmark Corp.
This amalgamation represents a pivotal milestone for Sprout AI, unlocking synergies and positioning us as a vertically integrated leader in the controlled environment agriculture industry.
I look forward to working closely with our new directors and management team in the weeks ahead. Together, we will diligently implement our expansion plans, complete the amalgamation process with the approval of our shareholders, and cement Sprout AI's position as a pioneering force in sustainable, urban indoor vertical farming."
