CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 8, 2019 / The tech stock market will continue to be successful if, and only if, companies in the sector continue to invest in ideas that can be used to design innovative technologies and services that will appeal to consumers. As we've seen in recent headlines, companies are working with artificial intelligence, virtual reality, haptics, and automation, all of which have resulted in magnetizing investors to the tech sector. Consumers may not be privy to the fiscal operations of companies working in tech, but they are likely more familiar with the products and services being released to the public. So long as companies immersed in the tech sector recognize and act on their responsibilities to consumers, it may catalyze potential investment opportunities in the near future. ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG), Riot Blockchain Inc (NASDAQ: RIOT), eGain Corporation (NASDAQ: EGAN), and Sienna Biopharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ: SNNA) represent four companies determined to innovate towards the advancement of the tech sector.

ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG), along with other companies in the space, is taking advantage of the fact that, as new technologies are created to alleviate the everyday stress of life, consumers are becoming more cognizant of their needs and expect tech to be created with these in mind. In recognition of this opportunity, the Company created an on-demand marketplace where consumers can shop for anything from food to clothing.

ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG) utilizes technology-driven logistics to connect consumers with the goods they love, including allowing customers to place orders for cannabis products. Customers can shop at partner businesses and, through the ParcelPal platform, receive their purchased goods within an hour. It's no longer a question of what products can be ordered, but, through the Company's platform, how easy can it be to have said products be delivered.

ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG) announced towards the end of last month that the Company had formed a partnership with MADD Canada to aid in the continuous fight to prevent impaired driving. According to the announcement, MADD Canada has endorsed ParcelPal as its official delivery service in Canada. As part of the ParcelPal's national rollout campaign, advertising for ParcelPal's service will be seen across the country in various educational forms. Together, MADD Canada and ParcelPal will launch a national awareness campaign focused on educating Canadians on the dangers of impaired driving and the options they have for getting items they want or need without leaving the party.

In a press release regarding the announcement, Kelly Abbott, President, and CEO of ParcelPal Technology Inc (PTNYF) (PKG) , explained that "as ParcelPal dives deeper into cannabis and alcohol delivery, we are very aware of the inherent risks associated with consumption. We take every precaution to ensure the product is not only delivered safely but will be consumed responsibly as well. Our driver training programs and our technology are designed to ensure they do not deliver to a highly intoxicated or underage person."
