Washington – New Frontier Data, the authority in data, analytics and business intelligence on the cannabis industry, announced today a partnership with Benzinga, a dynamic and innovative financial media outlet that empowers investors with high-quality and unique content coveted by Wall Street’s top traders. New Frontier Data becomes Benzinga’s exclusive channel partner for the cannabis industry, providing all cannabis market data on Benzinga.com.

“New Frontier Data is the industry standard for cannabis data reporting, and this exclusive partnership enhances Benzinga’s established reputation for providing actionable insights that drive profits for its readers,” said Benzinga Founder Jason Raznick. “It’s fitting for New Frontier Data to provide the first-ever cannabis overview to the leadership of the financial services space at today’s Global FinTech Awards in New York.”

Furthering its status as the authority in cannabis data and analytics, New Frontier Data unveiled version 4.0 of its Equio® platform at the Benzinga Global Fintech Awards, marking the first-ever appearance of a tech company focused on cannabis at the prestigious event. Equiois the only platform that goes beyond cannabis news aggregation to connect investors, legislators, operators and researchers to the real-time data that powers the legal cannabis market globally.

“The legal cannabis market is not only one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S., it is also one of the most promising emerging markets globally. Beyond medical and adult-use, hemp, the non-psychotropic cannabis plant, has massive implications for some of the world’s largest, most mature industries such as automotive, construction, textile, bio fuel and semiconductors. As investors, researchers, operators and legislators seek to understand and capitalize on this explosive growth, they need reliable and objective data to make informed decisions. Equio 4.0 and the Benzinga partnership put critical data, insights and analysis at their fingertips in multiple ways for rapid, well-informed decision-making,” said New Frontier Data CEO Giadha Aguirre de Carcer.

• A real-time stock ticker for public cannabis companies
• Regulatory data (taxes, legalization status, qualifying conditions)
• Market data (sales, growth projections, employment)
• Cannibalization data (alcohol, tobacco, pharma)
• Company and country profiles
• Interactive investing reports
