EnWave expands footprint with commercial license in Japan and U.S. biopharmaceutical agreement

EnWave Corporation CEO Brent Charleton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has signed a commercial license agreement with Hokkai Yamato Foods Japan, a leading producer of processed foods such as soups, furikake, and ochazuke. As part of the agreement, Hokkai Yamato has acquired a 10kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) machine to drive product development and support early-stage commercial production in Japan. This license grants Hokkai Yamato exclusive rights to use EnWave’s patented REV™ technology for the production of various food products within Japan. In return, Hokkai Yamato will pay royalties to EnWave, consistent with existing licensing agreements. EnWave will work closely with Hokkai Yamato to optimize product development and ensure long-term commercial success. In addition to expanding its presence in the Japanese food sector, EnWave has also signed a master service agreement with BioTechnique, a U.S.-based pharmaceutical contract manufacturer. This agreement lays the groundwork for BioTechnique to evaluate EnWave’s REV™ dehydration technology as a potential alternative to freeze-drying in biopharmaceutical applications. As part of the collaboration, BioTechnique will conduct paid testing of several liquid pharmaceutical products, drying them in vials using pilot-scale REV™ machinery at EnWave’s Innovation Center in Delta, British Columbia. If the results prove successful, BioTechnique may choose to acquire its own REV™ equipment to provide dehydration services directly to its network of leading pharmaceutical clients. #proactiveinvestors #enwavecorporation #tsxv #enw #DehydrationTech #VacuumMicrowave #RoyaltyBusinessModel #BluechipClients #FoodTech #BusinessNews #Investing #CEOInterview #Peru #Spain #Blueberry #Snacks #Royalties #TradeMission

AI translation tech: Straker CEO talks IBM partnership

Straker Ltd CEO Grant Straker talked with Proactive at AIM"S Small and Midcap Conference about how the company is leveraging artificial intelligence to reshape the global language services industry. Straker explained how the business evolved from early content management systems into a leading AI-powered translation platform over the last 15 years. The company focuses on blending machine learning with human expertise to deliver high-quality, cost-effective language services. A key milestone has been the integration of its platform by IBM, which now uses Straker’s technology for all its internal translations. “They’ve gone from a multi-vendor traditional model to just us,” Straker said, highlighting how the move has streamlined IBM’s operations while reducing costs. He also discussed the company's proprietary "Terry" language model and its innovative quality estimation* system. This tool evaluates translated content for accuracy, determining whether it needs human review—improving efficiency and boosting gross margins. Straker outlined a clear investor case, emphasizing three pillars: financial strength, innovation, and global distribution. The company is targeting revenues of AUD 45 million for the year, with no debt, AUD 12 million in cash, and annual R&D investment of AUD 7 million. With operations in ten countries and strategic alignment with IBM’s AI stack, Straker positioned the company as well-placed to scale quickly through operating leverage in AI. #AI #StrakerLtd #GrantStraker #LanguageTech #TranslationAI #IBMPartnership #ArtificialIntelligence #InvestorUpdate #MachineTranslation #TechStocks #ASXStocks #TerryModel #QualityEstimation #ProactiveInvestors #SmallCapASX

Qualitas funds soar as banks step back

Qualitas Ltd Group Managing Director Andrew Schwartz talked with Proactive at the AIM's Small and Midcap conference about the company's differentiated position in Australia's real estate investment management landscape. Andrew Schwartz explained that Qualitas operates at scale, supported by large institutional capital. “Some of those investors literally commit amounts of 1.7 billion and above to Qualitas,” he said, noting the firm can fund projects with hundreds of millions—territory once dominated by traditional banks. Schwartz highlighted the company’s deep property expertise, developed over decades, as a key driver of performance. He said, “We are deep sector, deep dive property people,” which allows them to manage funds based not just on lending metrics but also on underlying property fundamentals. The conversation also addressed Qualitas’ notable growth in funds management revenue since its 2021 IPO. Schwartz attributed this to structural shifts in the Australian finance market, where banks still represent 77% of a AU$477 billion sector—but their share is shrinking. “We’ve really got the benefit of filling a void in the market that the bank market just can’t fill,” he said. Roughly 80% of Qualitas' activities are in the housing sector, financing large-scale residential projects rather than retail home loans. Schwartz said the persistent supply shortage, despite rising interest rates, underpins property values and creates strong demand for capital. #Qualitas #RealEstateInvestment #InstitutionalCapital #AustralianHousing #PropertyFinance #AndrewSchwartz #HousingShortage #ASX #FundsManagement #ProactiveInvestors

Technology Minerals CEO on black mass and Leinster milestones

Technology Minerals CEO Alex Stanbury talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a milestone week for the company, highlighting significant progress in both its recycling operations and exploration asset portfolio. Stanbury discussed the first shipment of black mass from its Recyclus facility to Europe, under an agreement with Glencore. He explained that black mass—a hazardous material containing lithium, cobalt, and nickel—requires complex approvals for cross-border movement. “It’s been a lot of work in the making to get this black mass moved off-site,” Stanbury said, noting this completes a critical part of the company’s business model. He also commented on the importance of the Glencore partnership, stating that “for Glencore to have the faith to work with us…is really important.” This collaboration ensures a consistent offtake of all Recyclus production. Stanbury also confirmed Recyclus is working with Ocado, managing end-of-life batteries from their robotic systems. The company uses its proprietary LiBoxes to safely store and transport used lithium-ion batteries, providing safety and ESG compliance. “We’ve done thousands of batteries for them now and there’s an ongoing maintenance programme,” he added. Finally, Technology Minerals has completed the sale of its Leinster lithium project in Ireland, aligning with its strategy of incubating early-stage assets and moving them up the value curve. The company is now focused on its Spanish project, which benefits from EU interest in critical materials and battery manufacturing. It expects further licenses to be granted soon and aims to seek JV partners to bring the project toward feasibility and production.
