The Chief Science Officer of Trust Stamp, Dr. Norman Poh, spoke about the latest development. He noted that there was now an elevated focus on the protection of data security and privacy for the end users of biometric services.

He noted that it had been a core consideration of the product development process at Trust Stump since the company was established. He went on to add that over the past six years, the company has invested heavily in research and development so as to create a strong foundation for its products.

There are plans to add new functionalities as well to advance those applications.

“The work we are doing in collaboration with our teaming partner will ready this critical government financial application for the future,” said Stan Reese, Tellenger’s President and CEO. “This substantial new award reinforces Tellenger’s position as a leader in modernization and systems engineering. It is a testament to the significant value we bring to customers and partners through a commitment to delivering meaningful ROI with everything we do.”

It ought to be noted that no clinical trials have yet been undertaken for UNBUZZD, and the product is yet to be scientifically proven or tested. Lucid-MS is a molecular compound that has been identified as potentially treating neurodegenerative conditions.

The Chief Executive Officer and Executive Co-Chairman of the Board at FSD Pharma, Zeeshan Saeed, spoke about the latest development as well. He noted that it was a major development for the company since it was a step in the right direction in commercializing FSD Pharma’s science. He went on to note that the company boasted the brightest people who would be leading the efforts for the commercialization of the product and its rollout.

He referred to the fact that the same team had been responsible for the considerable success that FSD Pharma had enjoyed with the product Celsius. The team in charge of UNBUZZD is highly accomplished and experienced. As per the terms of the agreement, the company would get a 7% royalty from Celly Nutrition from total revenues. However, once the amount hits $250,000,000 in total, the rate would be cut to 3%.
