Under the terms of the LOI, Empower will be granted an exclusive license of the Cannvas.me platform in the United States and Mexico (expandable to other jurisdictions). It is envisioned that Empower will integrate and leverage the robust Cannvas.me platform with its burgeoning clinic network across the continental United States.

An annual $70,000.00 CAD licensing fee will be paid for the life of the proposed agreement, and the issuance of $250,000.00 CAD of Empower common stock at a price of $0.10 per share.

"This next phase in our partnership with Euro is the culmination of many months of collaboration to create access to the immense amount of educational content on the Cannvas.me platform." said Steven McAuley, Chairman & CEO of Empower. "Empower, as thought leaders in the medical cannabis sector, need to lead consumer & physician education providing a branded curated experience starting with our 165,000 patients and then extending through our network of corporate and franchised clinics."

"EuroLife's SaaS based education technology platform will allow Empower Clinics to educate a consumer, retailer, and medical patient on an incredibly efficient basis," said Shawn Moniz, Chief Executive Officer, EuroLife Brands Inc. "We look forward to working with Empower and their expanding clinic network in providing unencumbered access to our online technology solution."

In 2018 EuroLife launched a consumer education portal for medical and recreational cannabis consumers.

Executing on a renewed B2B technology model EuroLife recently delivered a redesigned budtender education portal for Aphria Inc.
