Business Development Highlights:

The Company has several ongoing initiatives to help ensure the successful commercialization of IronCAP X and IronCAP API including:

Increased business development activities have resulted in the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hitachi Solutions Create Ltd in Japan and with ixFintech in Hong Kong with respect to licensing IronCAP technology. Discussions with other leading technology firms are in progress.
The Company had a successful business development trip in Asia in January 2020 . The trip included attending the Asian Financial Forum where management met with 14 potential customers in the finance industry. In addition, management met with 6 potential customers in mainland China and had further meetings with Hitachi in Tokyo to discuss plans following the MOU.
A world class development team has been assembled for the completion of IronCAP X as well as for the development of an impressive product road map that would incorporate the Company’s IronCAP technology into a number of new products.
The addition of new board and advisory committee members with significant business expertise.
A new web site (www.ironcap.ca) has been launched to provide quick access to critical information about IronCAP technology and its family of products, including IronCAP X.
The new web site provides IronCAP X beta users the ability to register for a trial of IronCAP X when it is available.
The Company has received several endorsements supporting management’s belief that IronCAP is secure enough to safeguard against potential attacks from quantum computers:

IronCAP proved to be un-hackable after the Company issued a world-wide challenge to hackers to crack their quantum-safe encryption in 36 days in exchange for a $100,000 . All 517 hackers from various countries failed miserably, validating the strength of IronCAP’s encryption platform.
IronCAP was selected to receive the Editor’s Choice Award in a special “Quantum Computing” edition of the CIOReview magazine. CIOReview profiled the “10 Most Promising Quantum Computing Solution Providers” of 2019, and selected IronCAP as the Editor’s choice.
