Why This Is Important

Cannova is focused on developing cannabis delivery technology. Its main product is a sublingual strip that is infused with cannabinoids and other natural active ingredients for better dosage control and a variety of effects.

The acquisition of a 49-percent stake gives Nabis Holdings the exclusive distribution rights for Cannova's sublingual strips in North America.

"Cannova's patent protected solution allows the user to get a customized, personal combination of THC, CBD, and other active ingredients that meet their personal, unique requirements in real time, and thus changing the way Cannabis is consumed," said Nabis CEO Shay Shnet.

"Their cutting-edge platform designed for home use looks similar to a countertop espresso/coffee machine, however, it possesses next generation ability to combine various active ingredients. With the acquisition of Cannova's unique technology, we will be well positioned to capitalize on the growth in popularity of consumable cannabis."
