RavenQuest Announces Media and Investor Open House at Edmonton Facility
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RavenQuest BioMed Inc. (CSE:RQB) (OTCQB:RVVQF) (Frankfurt:1IT) (the “Company” or “RavenQuest”) is pleased to announce it will hold a media and investor open house at its Alberta Green Biotech facility, located in Edmonton, Alberta, on Monday, July 9th at 11:00 a.m. Media and investors are encouraged to contact the Company using the information below should they wish to attend. Wine, cheese and lunch will be served.
During the event, RavenQuest will unveil its Orbital Garden technology, “OG 2.0”, which will revolutionize cannabis production. Under RavenQuest’s design Orbital Gardens are stacked three high and two wide, allowing for 500 square feet of grow space inside a 64 square foot footprint, dramatically changing the conversation around square footage as it pertains to cannabis production.
As we near completion of Alberta Green Biotech, installation of the OG 2.0 systems into the grow rooms has begun. We are excited to reveal this paradigm shift to the public because it’s so much more than a story of dollars and cents. Certainly, our gardens’ productivity will be more than twice the industry average, will use 80% less power and 50% less water than the old-fashioned “flat table” growing environments.
RavenQuest CEO, George Robinson
But we believe the real story here is sustainability. Industry wide, Canadian companies are going to be growing a lot of cannabis. With this kind of scale, it’s important we conduct ourselves responsibly and care for the environment.
“RavenQuest believes strongly in the science of the plant and believes strongly in environmental stewardship. We believe our patients and clients want to see this kind of social responsibility in the products and brands they consume” Robinson continued.
