SASKATOON, Saskatchewan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Brent Zettl, the President and CEO of ZYUS Life Sciences Inc. (“ZYUS”),
received the Startup Canada Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the
Prairies region in Edmonton, Alberta sponsored by Scotiabank. As a proud
winner of the sixth annual Startup Canada Awards, ZYUS is thrilled to
help celebrate outstanding achievement in Canada’s entrepreneurship and
innovation community across Canada.
“While many think of an entrepreneur as a person, this award is not
about an individual, it’s about a team – an amazing group of dedicated
and talented people who are passionate, energetic and share a deep
entrepreneurial spirit,” said Brent Zettl, President and CEO of ZYUS.
“Together, we intend on caring for the overall well-being of patients by
focusing on accelerating adoption of cannabinoids as a medical solution.”
“I’m truly honored to have been recognized by Startup Canada for the
Prairie Regional Entrepreneur of Year Award,” continued Zettl. “While it
is a very exciting time for the cannabis sector not just in Canada, but
increasingly on a global scale, ZYUS is focused from a biopharmaceutical
perspective on bringing a purpose to the development and application of
cannabinoids and other phyto-therapeutic medical solutions for the
betterment of humankind.”
Regional winners will now be evaluated by the National Adjudication
Committee; comprised of some of Canada’s leading entrepreneurship and
industry experts. The national winners will be announced and celebrated
at the Startup
Canada Awards Grand Finale in Toronto in October, 2019.
“Congratulations to the 2019 winners of the Startup Canada Awards,” said
Victoria Lennox, Co-Founder and President of Startup Canada. “Each and
every one of these outstanding recipients has an immense impact on the
