Lionheart is the 3rd in a sequence of a major economic entity that has elevated $125 million lately (in November 2021). I intentionally tension a short while ago simply because one particular of the troubles on the SPAC current market is that there are companies that are established to split up or will have to merger and then they merge with unsuitable companies and the outcome is a collapse. This negatively influences all the market place.”

Afik included, “Safety Matters has a revolutionary product that not only variations the way in which we mark products and solutions and components but provides a big information to the recycling marketplace and all circular economies. It enables brands to establish their supplies and creates an incentive to pay back revenue to these who obtain their waste, or punishment for those who do not. A lot of establishments see in this a major foreseeable future for the corporation.”
