Executive commentary on SensOre's strategic restructuring and acquisition

The company is directing itself towards being a 'data as a service company' with attaching AI/ML and geoscientific software tools. We believe the business has global appeal and the intention, once separated, is to seek venture funding to expand the data cube and the data as a service business globally. The cash generated from existing operations along with further venture funding will assist greatly with the future development of the technology business over the coming years.
