The integration of Eko Pave technology within our operations is a game-changer. It's not just an advancement for our company but a leap forward for the industry. We anticipate that this cost-effective technology will significantly lower infrastructure expenses worldwide, propelling a dramatic increase in our revenues."

Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 11, 2023, ECDP acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CCT. The total purchase price was 110 million newly issued shares of ECDP common stock.

" CCT's impressive track record and financial performance align perfectly with our growth strategy," said Hadelin Carlos Diericx Trouyet, CEO of Echo Defense Projects Inc.
